Terms and conditions - This is a generalized rental policy with our company and there may be age requirements on certain properties and also a section for signing off on your pet on our pet friendly properties.
Please read your Vacation Rental Agreement carefully upon booking and
sign and date at the bottom of the document. Any monies received by Alpine Property
Management, LLC (herein referred to as APM) for occupancy of Vacation Property
indicated the acceptance of the terms of this Vacation Rental Policy in full.
All policies are strictly enforced. It is the responsibility of all guests and
members of their party to be familiar with all policies pertaining to rental.
RENTER REQUIREMENTS: For legal and accounting purposes, the
person placing the reservation must be the same as the credit/debit card holder,
this person is considered to be the Guest. All other persons involved with the
rental are considered to be the Guest's invitees, and all discussion regarding
reservation, cancellation, and damage policies will be discussed with the
Guest, not the Guest's invitees. The Guest understands that Alpine Property
Management rents to responsible adults over the age of 25 ONLY.

anyone. If you are given permission to bring a pet the following rules
must be followed:
1) Pay the applicable pet fee.
2) No pets on any furniture or bedding.
3) All waste must be picked up and placed in the garbage cans tied
securely in trash bags. (Please remember we have garbage service once a week
and housekeepers have to remove your trash with their vehicles!)
4) No pets in the hot tub or bath tub.
5) Please try to bring your pet with you on your adventures here in CB.
If you can't don't leave them for long hours in the home by themselves.
HOT TUB/POOL USE & RULES: If you are at a property that has a hot tub
or pool use of the hot tub/pool is strictly at your own risk and liability. Our
maintenance crew sanitizes and replenishes chemicals in our properties with
private hot tubs prior to your arrival and about 4-5 days after that. If you
are staying in a condominium, the condominium complex has a homeowners
association that has hired an outside company to manage the property and thus
the pool/hot tub and surrounding facilities. This particular company is in
charge of balancing and maintaining the hot tub/pool. Please follow all posted
signs in regard to these. 1) ALWAYS SHOWER OR BATHE BEFORE AND AFTER USING THE
HOT TUB! Body oil, makeup, hair products, etc. clog filters! 2) An adult must
always accompany children under 18. 3) Do not sit, stand or lie on the tub
cover; the covers are somewhat fragile and easily damaged. They are expensive
and you will be charged for a replacement cover if we find that you have
damaged the cover by doing one of the things aforementioned. Tub covers cost
about $550. 4) Unhook the safety strap before removing the cover. 5) Replace
cover when you are not in the tub and secure the safety strap (if provided) to
conserve heat, for safety, and to keep debris out of the water. 6) Use
non-breakable drink containers in the tub area. 7) DO NOT ADD ANYTHING TO THE
HOT TUB WATER such as bubble bath & oils, even if they say they are
compatible. 8) If the water level is low (below the filter intake) add more
water or call, as low water can destroy the pump. 9) If the water looks cloudy
or dirty, please call the office at (970) 349-5303. Do not use the hot tub
until it can be properly balanced. If it is found that the service is necessary
due to Guest abuse, the Guest will be responsible for the charges. 10) Only
guests that are authorized to be staying at the property may use the hot
tub.(*Hot tubs may be drained and refilled before your arrival; therefore, it
may not be warm until later that evening.)
LEFT ITEMS: Please check carefully for belongings before you leave. We
are happy to send back items that you may have left but please call the office
ASAP after you realize you did leave something. That helps us collect it and
get it to you. We do ask that you pay for the shipping.
RIGHT OF ENTRY: Guest(s) agree that Alpine Property Management reserves
the right to enter the rental property at any time to investigate disturbances,
check occupancy, check for damage, to make such repairs, alterations or
improvements as we may deem appropriate, or to show the property to prospective
purchasers if the property is for sale (guests will be notified of a sale
property prior to booking). If a property is for sale, we will do everything we
can to pick a time that works best for you. We try to not allow any showings
with less than a 24-hour window. We prefer to not bother you and let you enjoy
a quiet vacation but obviously need to put this in our contract in case we need
access to the property.
SECURITY & SAFETY RISKS: Although we feel that we live in a very safe
place here in Crested Butte, it is up to you whether you wish to lock the door
as you depart your rental property. Keep in mind when you rent the property
that you assume responsibility for it and its contents, as well as your
personal property. Guest is responsible for lost key replacement costs. If the
property has candles, please use common sense and do not allow children to
handle or play with them. Do not leave them burning when you leave the property
or when you go to bed.
WINTER CONDITIONS: We will always attempt to have the driveway and
walkways clear of snow and ice before your arrival. A shovel is provided should
you need it during your stay. Please be cautious when there are icy conditions.
During the winter months, it may be required to carry chains or have traction
tires. You will be notified if 4-wheel drive is needed to access a driveway
prior to booking in winter months. Please note that many of our properties,
owners have elected to hire specific plowing companies to keep their driveways
clear. Most plow only if there are 6 inches of snow or more from roughly 6 am-6
pm on any given day. You are on a plowing schedule with them and they have many
properties to clear. You will get cleared but be patient! Keep in mind that we
cannot control the street plow or when it comes by. It can berm you in and if
it is after hours, we will clear the berm the next day. If you are struggling
to get out of your driveway, you can contact us at the home office and we will
try to help you out. If you cannot get out of the driveway due to an inappropriate
vehicle or tires, we will still try to help you but you could incur charges for
us to do so. All condominium complexes HOA's are in charge of their own snow
and ice removal.
RISK OF FALLING SNOW - You and your guests understand that
Crested Butte receives a tremendous amount of snowfall during winter months.
You and your guests agree that it is your obligation to avoid snow or ice
falling from roof structures of the property and to prevent damage to your
personal property from any such snow or ice falling from the roof structure. In
no event will Alpine Property Management (APM) or the owner of the property be
liable for damage to personal property (including but not limited to personal
injury or death and damage to any vehicle) caused by snow or ice falling from
the roof structure or from snow and ice on the property in general.

Property Owners strive to maintain Vacation Properties in the finest condition,
no guarantees are expressed nor implied regarding suitability or for any
particular purpose. The undersigned, and their guests and invitees shall use
the Vacation Property structures and premises at their own risk. APM and its
