**Fees, Pricing, and Booking:**
* The standard nightly rate includes 4 guests. Additional guests are $25 per person per night, with a maximum of 6 guests allowed. Please ensure the guest count in your reservation is accurate.
* Our rates are subject to change daily due to dynamic pricing. We cannot honor previously displayed prices.

**House Rules:**
* Quiet hours are strictly enforced by the HOA between 10:00 PM and 8:00 AM.
* Parties and events are strictly prohibited ($500 fine). The maximum occupancy of 6 guests is strictly enforced. This property is unsuitable for parties due to neighbor considerations.
* Smoking is strictly prohibited anywhere on the property, including all outdoor areas.
* Fire pit use is prohibited during burn bans.
* Due to liability and our API connection, a signed rental agreement and a copy of your driver's license are required at the time of booking.
* A $500 security hold will be applied two days before arrival and released seven days after departure, pending a damage inspection.
* Three exterior security cameras monitor the property to ensure compliance with house rules and for liability purposes.
* Staircase Retreat is our family cabin; we kindly ask that you treat it with respect.
* The cabin is not waterfront, but very close to the lake. Lake Cushman Park is less than a 5-minute drive, and Lake Kokanee (a private lake ideal for fishing and kayaking) is about 15 minutes away. Park distances may vary.
