* B&B Lifestyle Guidelines *

A B&B is not a hotel. It is someone's home.
Guests are expected to treat the people they meet,
including the owners, staff, visitors, and other guests,
and the personal property they use
with understanding, care and respect.
The "Golden Rule" applies:
Treat others the way that you wish to be treated.

* Trip Cancellation Insurance *

B&Bs cannot carry insurance to cover the loss of revenue due to cancellations.
B&Bs are small businesses and unlike hotels
cannot overbook their small number of rooms to cover cancellations.
Guests would be very unhappy if they arrived to find that:
their accommodation had been overbooked;
their reservation had been cancelled at the last minute;
and that they would not be staying at the B&B
where they thought they had a guaranteed reservation.
Guests must carry their own Trip Cancellation Insurance.
We highly recommend that Guests include
Medical Insurance in their Travel Insurance Package.
Of course, passports should be included in all travel documentation.
See Policies and Regulations.

* Lost or Stolen Articles *

Under the Hotel Act, B&Bs cannot be held responsible for lost or stolen articles.
Guest Homeowner Insurance Policies cover such events.
Almost always the articles have just been misplaced.
If the items are found at TreeHouse after the guests leave,
they are returned (by mail or courier) at cost.
