    San Bernadino County Good Neighbor Policy



    We want you to have the best experience possible so you’ll come back to visit us again soon. Here are some tips on how to avoid some of the common complaints we get about short-term rentals. The number one rule to remember is being a vacation home renter also means being a good neighbor.

    All short-term renters must park on the rental property. No street parking is allowed. The number of approved spaces for your rental can be found on the information posted inside the unit.



    NOISE

    We know you have good taste in music, but your neighbors might not. So turn down the volume and keep all noise to a minimum. Guests are advised to adhere to quiet hours between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.



    PETS(Terra Cottage allows 2 dogs. No other animals permitted)

    Pets are required to be leashed or kept in an enclosed area on the property at all times. Dogs are required to be licensed. Barking or other animal noise may result in noise complaints.



    TRASH

    Please place all trash in approved containers. Ensure containers are closed to keep animals out. Do not place trash bags or other uncontained trash anywhere on the property.



    OCCUPANCY (6 including children & infants)

    Exceeding the occupancy limit could result in expulsion from the rental, fines, or both. The approved number of people allowed in the unit can be found on the information posted inside the unit.



    PROHIBITED USES

    Short-term rentals may not be used for commercial purposes, such as filming, corporate retreats, conferences, or wedding receptions.



    COMPLAINTS

    The County operates a 24-hour hotline where residents can report short-term rental violations. All complaints are investigated and can result in a $1,000 citation.



    REGISTRATION/CHECK-IN

    Review the rules closely to ensure you understand your responsibilities while renting the property.

The cabin was as shown in the provided images and was bright, homey, and well apportioned. It doesn't feel like a cabin in woods downstairs, but upstairs does. We had no issues with anything that we used not working. Additionally, little things were provided that were well thought out: some toiletries, dog biscuits, coffee, aluminum foil, etc. The light switch in the upstairs bathroom was hard to find at first, but was just a one-time 'where is it?' but this is clearly shown in the provided pictures and was only an issue as we first used this bathroom when it was dark. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice Getaway

House was located in a quiet neighborhood, which we loved. Wanted to getaway from the city and just be able to relax. Fireplace did not work, which was a bummer. House was so much nicer in person and it was so cute! Wish there was some lights near the hot tub/fire pit, did get pretty dark out there even with the porch light. Overall it was a nice place to stay! Would definitely book again!
