Terms & Conditions

Last updated: [Insert Date]

Welcome to our family-owned vacation homes in Berkshire County, Massachusetts and Dover, Vermont. These Terms & Conditions explain how bookings, stays, payments, guest responsibilities, and use of this website are handled.

By booking a stay, using this website, or communicating with us about a reservation, you agree to the terms below.

1. About Our Homes

Our homes are privately owned and personally managed by Berkshire Stream. We are a small, family-run operation, and every property is cared for directly by us. We do our best to make every stay comfortable, clean, safe, and welcoming for families and friends.

2. Reservations

A reservation is confirmed once the required payment has been made and you receive booking confirmation. Guests are responsible for reviewing the property details, dates, guest count, house rules, cancellation policy, and total booking cost before confirming.

The person making the reservation must be at least 25 years old and must be present during the stay unless otherwise approved in writing.

3. Payments

Payment terms, deposits, taxes, cleaning fees, and any additional charges will be shown at the time of booking. All payments must be completed by the required due dates to keep the reservation active.

Failure to complete payment on time may result in cancellation of the booking.

4. Guest Count and Occupancy

Only the guests included in the reservation may stay at the property. Maximum occupancy limits must be followed at all times. Additional overnight guests are not permitted unless approved in advance.

5. Check-In and Check-Out

Check-in and check-out times will be provided before arrival.

Guests are expected to check out on time so the home can be cleaned and prepared for the next stay. Late check-out may result in additional fees unless approved in advance.

6. House Rules

Guests agree to respect the home, the neighborhood, and all posted house rules. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • No parties or unauthorized events
  • No smoking inside the home
  • No fireworks
  • No illegal activity
  • Respect quiet hours and neighboring properties
  • Follow parking instructions
  • Use fireplaces, hot tubs, grills, appliances, and outdoor areas responsibly
  • Report any issue, damage, or safety concern as soon as possible

Violation of house rules may result in additional charges, cancellation of the stay, or removal from the property without refund.

7. Pets

Pets are only allowed when clearly approved for the specific property and reservation. If pets are permitted, guests must follow all pet rules and are responsible for any damage, extra cleaning, or disturbance caused by pets.

Unauthorized pets may result in additional fees or cancellation of the stay.

8. Property Care and Damages

Guests are responsible for leaving the home in respectful condition. Normal use is expected, but damage, missing items, excessive mess, or rule violations may result in additional charges.

Please report damage or issues immediately. We understand that accidents can happen, and early communication helps us resolve things fairly.

9. Maintenance and Access

We work hard to make sure every home is ready before check-in. If something needs attention during your stay, please contact us right away.

In rare cases, we may need to access the property for urgent maintenance, safety concerns, or necessary repairs. We will make reasonable efforts to notify guests before entering unless there is an emergency.

10. Weather, Travel, and Local Conditions

Our homes are located in mountain and seasonal destinations where weather, road conditions, power outages, snow, ice, wildlife, and other local conditions may occur.

Guests are responsible for planning travel accordingly. We are not responsible for travel delays, weather disruptions, road closures, or conditions outside our control.

11. Cancellations and Refunds

Cancellation terms are explained in our Cancellation Policy and may also appear during the booking process. By booking, you agree to the cancellation terms attached to your reservation.

12. Personal Belongings

Guests are responsible for their own belongings during the stay. We are not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal items. If something is left behind, we will do our best to help locate and return it, but shipping costs may apply.

13. Website Information

We try to keep all property descriptions, photos, pricing, availability, and website content accurate and up to date. However, details may change from time to time. If there is a difference between website content and your confirmed reservation details, the confirmed booking information will apply.

14. Limitation of Liability

Guests agree to use the property responsibly and at their own risk. We are not liable for injuries, accidents, loss, delays, weather-related issues, or damages caused by guest actions, misuse of the property, or circumstances outside our control.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
