Elevator Disclosure:

The residential elevators provided in select vacation homes are intended primarily for guests with mobility limitations. For safety reasons, elevator use by children or for recreational purposes is strictly prohibited.

Guests requiring elevator access are asked to notify us prior to arrival so that arrangements may be confirmed. While every effort is made to maintain elevators in working order, their continuous and fault-free operation cannot be guaranteed. These systems are complex and, in the event of a malfunction, repairs must be conducted by licensed elevator technicians, which may result in delays beyond our control.

Please be advised that the inclusion of an elevator does not influence the rental rate. As such, no discounts, refunds, or other compensation will be provided should the elevator become inoperable at any point during your stay.
