With a large house, it takes our cleaners the entire time before next guest check-in to clean and prepare the property. If you stay past 10 this gives them a late start and can affect the check-in of the next guest. We will charge a late check-out fee of $150 for anyone leaving the property after 11am. Please respect the pre-check out process outlined in our guest manual-take out trash, clean dishes and start the dishwasher, leave dirty towels by washer and start one load, leave sheets on beds, remove and discard perishable food from refrigerator.
