Bring a photo ID to check-in. We don’t collect ID numbers online.
Host accepts payment by credit card (processed securely through our website), Airbnb or Vrbo. Any payment made must include all processing charges prior to Check-In. A 50% deposit of the Rental Fee plus the full Security Deposit and Pet Deposit (if any) is required for reservation. The Total Amount Due must be paid in full at least 60 days prior to Check-In. By signing this Agreement, Renter alone agrees to accept full responsibility for payment of the Total Amount Due.
A Security Deposit of the amount shown at checkout is required to hold Renter’s vacation rental reservation. Host must receive payment of the Security Deposit at time of booking. The Security Deposit protects Host against damage or theft to the Property or other defaults under this Agreement and as provided by law. Upon receiving Renter’s payment of the Rental Fee and Security Deposit, and a signed, dated copy of this Agreement, Renter’s reservation will be confirmed by confirmation email. Upon Renter’s arrival, the Security Deposit converts into a Damage Deposit. The Damage Deposit will be returned to Renter within 3 to 7 business days after Renter vacates the Property provided that the Property is not damaged, no theft has occurred, access keys have been returned (if any), and there are no other violations of this Agreement. The Damage Deposit may be applied by Host to satisfy damage repairs caused by Renter or to replace stolen items and such act shall not prevent Host from claiming damages in excess of the Deposit.
All damage occurring on or to the Property must be immediately reported to Host. Renter agrees to pay Host for the Total Amount Due and to reimburse Host for damages and costs incurred to repair or replace lost, stolen, misplaced or damaged items. Any damages, losses or excessive cleaning charges incurred by Renter or other Guests, including any charges above the amount of the Damage Deposit, will be charged to Renter’s credit card in full and Renter explicitly authorizes such charges. Liability for damages includes, but is not limited to, damages to landscaping, misuse of appliances, misuse of recreational facilities, and/or recreational equipment. Renter shall immediately report to Host any accidents or incidents that cause damage to the Property, Premises, furnishings, decorations, or facilities during Renter’s stay. The Property is located in a coastal environment and exterior doors and windows must be kept closed and secured at all times. Failure to do so may result in excessive humidity, rain or flood damage which will be charged to the card on file. Gas fireplaces and BBQ grills may not be left on for more than 1–2 hours at a time to avoid damage from overheating. Unreported damages discovered after Check-Out will incur a $100 fee in addition to the repair/replacement cost.
Renter is an adult over the age of 18 and will be an occupant of the Premises during the entire reserved term. Other occupants allowed on the Property will be Guests only. “Guests” means Renter’s family members, friends, licensees, invitees and all others in, on or about the Property at Renter’s express or implied request or invitation, or for the purpose of visiting Renter. Guests of all ages count toward the maximum occupancy. No more than the total Guest count indicated in this Agreement may occupy the Property at any one time without the prior written consent of Host. Guests beyond the number included in the base rate are charged $20 per additional guest, per night, and must be added to the Guest Registration. Any party falsely representing the age or number of Guests, the use of the Property, or exceeding the maximum Guest count will be subject to immediate eviction without refund.
Renter agrees that house parties, social events, and any activity where Guests not listed on the Guest Registration are present or occupancy limits are exceeded — including dinners and family reunions beyond the registered Guests — are strictly prohibited without prior written approval from Host. Weddings and events are booked separately through Host. Renter agrees that advertising the Property in any form, including digital or social media, is strictly prohibited.
This Property requires a 2-night minimum stay. Longer minimum stays may be required during holiday periods.
Check-in time is 4:00 p.m. Central. Please respect this time, as the Property is often rented the night before and Host needs time to prepare for Renter’s stay. Proof of valid ID will be required at Check-In, and use of the Property will be denied to persons not in compliance with this Agreement, who must vacate immediately without refund. Check-out time is 10:00 a.m. Central. Prior to check-out, dishes should be left in the dishwasher, beds left unmade, and used towels left in the tub or shower. Renter shall remove all belongings and leave the Property in as good a condition as when delivered, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Before leaving, Renter shall set the thermostat to 78 degrees, make sure all doors and windows are locked and shut, and empty the refrigerator completely. All trash must be bagged and placed at the designated trash areas. Upon final departure, Renter shall lock the door.
On arrival the Property will be clean and fully furnished with linens, blankets, pillows, towels, a fully equipped kitchen, TVs and furnishings. Each Premise will have a starter supply of dish soap, dish detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags and bar soap. Once the starter supply runs out, Renter is responsible for purchasing these items. Host does not stock plastic wrap, foil, spices, salt, pepper, coffee filters or similar kitchen goods; Renter may need to bring these. Renter must provide their own propane for BBQ grills. Host strives to keep all utilities in good working condition and will use best efforts to correct problems in a reasonable and timely manner. Host disclaims liability for inconvenience arising from temporary defects in appliances or any recreational amenity, or any interruption of water, gas, electricity, internet or plumbing.
The Property will be inspected and cleaned after departure. Renter is required to leave the Property in the same general condition it was received in — dishes washed and put away, and the Premise generally picked up and ready to be vacuumed, dusted, disinfected and laundered.
No open flames or candles may be burned or lit at any time inside any building on the Property. Fireworks are strictly prohibited. Outdoor fires are permitted ONLY in the fire pit provided by Host and ONLY in the designated fire-pit area; no other campfires or ground fires are allowed. Fires must never be left unattended and must be fully extinguished before leaving the area or going to bed. Cooking may only take place in areas specified by Host, and the grill must remain in an open area away from trees, buildings and the dock. Smoking is prohibited inside all buildings and will result in automatic forfeiture of Renter’s full Security Deposit. If Renter or Guests smoke outdoors, all cigarette butts must be picked up and properly disposed of; a minimum $100 charge applies if cigarette butts are found anywhere on the Property.
Firearms may not be discharged anywhere on the Property at any time. Renter shall not keep on the Property any article of a hazardous, dangerous, flammable or explosive character that might substantially increase the danger of fire, injury or damage, or that might be considered hazardous by a responsible insurance company, without prior written consent of Host and proof of adequate insurance.
Instructions for the Property’s front entry gate, recreational facilities and Reserved Premise(s) will be provided by email 48 hours prior to Check-In. Instructions will not be issued if any balance is still due or without a signed rental agreement in Host’s possession.
Renter shall lock all vehicle and Premise doors when leaving the Premises to keep personal items safe. Host is not responsible for theft, misplacement, loss of, or damage to Renter’s or Guests’ personal property.
The maximum number of Guest vehicles allowed at the Property at any one time is 12, including the garage. The maximum number of Guest trailers/RVs is 2. Renter shall park only in designated areas. Failure to follow parking rules or vehicle limits may result in fines, towing, immediate eviction and forfeiture of all amounts paid.
Pets are not allowed without the prior written consent of Host. At signing, Renter shall pay an additional Pet Deposit of $25.00 per pet, per night, to be held and disbursed for Pet Damages (if any) and as provided by law. Pet Damages include, but are not limited to, scratches on floors, stains on carpets, and removal of pet odor or fur. The Pet Deposit is in addition to the Security Deposit. Upon arrival the Pet Deposit converts into an additional Damage Deposit and is refundable under the same conditions as the Security Deposit.
Renter acknowledges that engaging in, using or possessing illegal substances on the Property is strictly prohibited, and that providing alcohol to minors is strictly prohibited.
All shared recreational facilities and equipment are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Renter and Guests shall not disturb, annoy, endanger or inconvenience neighbors or other renters on the Property, nor use the Property for any unlawful purpose. Renter shall comply with all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations, including noise ordinances. No loud noise is allowed after 11:00 p.m. or before 8:00 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, or after midnight or before 9:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday.
Subject to Renter’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), Host may enter the Property to make inspections, provide necessary services, or show the unit to prospective renters or workers. Host does not assume liability for the care or supervision of the Property while in Renter’s possession. In an emergency, Host may enter without Renter’s consent as provided by law.
If the Property becomes unavailable to Renter prior to occupancy for any reason, Host will refund the full amount paid, and Renter releases any and all claims against Host. (a) Non-holiday: cancellations more than 61 days before Check-In receive a refund of amounts paid less a 5% cancellation fee. Cancellations 60 days or less before Check-In receive no refund unless Host re-rents the Property for the full term on the same or better terms, in which case amounts paid are refunded less a 5% fee. (b) Holiday: cancellations more than 91 days before Check-In receive a refund less a 5% fee. Cancellations 90 days or less before Check-In receive no refund unless Host re-rents on the same or better terms, in which case amounts paid are refunded less a 5% fee. No refunds for any reservation that includes a date between December 19 and January 4. (c) Failure to make the final payment on time is treated as a cancellation and forfeits the deposit. (d) Host does NOT offer refunds for weather-related travel delays, illness, injury, natural disasters, acts of God, pandemics, or any other reason beyond its control, and strongly recommends Renter purchase trip insurance.
Renter is in default if Renter fails to fulfill any obligation or term of this Agreement. Subject to governing law, if Renter fails to cure a financial obligation within 3 days (or any other obligation within 5 days) after written notice from Host, Host may cure the default and add the cost to Renter’s financial obligations. All such sums are additional rent.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflicts-of-law principles. The parties will first attempt to resolve any dispute through friendly negotiation. If unresolved, disputes will be submitted to mediation under applicable statutory rules. If mediation is unsuccessful or unavailable, any remaining issues will be submitted to final and binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment on the award may be entered by any court of proper jurisdiction.
Renter and Guests are subject to immediate eviction if they violate any term of this Agreement, including age or occupancy limits, the pet provision, smoking, illegal activity, subletting or assignment, unauthorized events, noise, or parking. In the event of eviction, Renter forfeits all amounts paid with no refund.
If Host employs an attorney to enforce any condition of this Agreement, to collect amounts due, to evict Renter, or because Renter seeks to recover deposits not due, Renter is liable for Host’s reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.
This Agreement binds and benefits the parties and their successors and assigns. Renter may not assign or sublet any interest in the Property, nor assign, mortgage or pledge this Agreement, without Host’s prior written consent. The parties’ rights are cumulative and in addition to any rights afforded by law. This Agreement is subordinate to any mortgage now existing or later given by Host. If any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Headings are for convenience only. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties and may be amended only in a writing signed by both parties. Host reserves the right to substitute the Property with a nearby property of similar value.
A) HOST DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY TO RENTER AND GUESTS OR TO THEIR PERSONAL PROPERTY. B) RENTER AND GUESTS USE ALL PROPERTY, FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT AT THEIR OWN RISK.

Renter has read and fully understands the “Assumption of Risk and Release of Liability” below and accepts its terms in full. Renter agrees to assume the risk of any harm to persons or property in connection with the use of the Property.
The undersigned, the Renter, Renter at Restoration Ranch, acknowledges and agrees as follows. I understand that, prior to or as soon as I arrive, I am responsible for reading and complying with all instructions or rules provided by Host or posted on or around the Property.
The Property is large and rugged — approximately 70 acres of natural land and lake shoreline. To preserve its natural beauty, large portions remain untouched. The Property has NATURAL AND DANGEROUS CONDITIONS including rough and uneven terrain, rocks, metal and wood debris, an unfenced and unsupervised lake, and livestock. I may be exposed to irritating plants (such as poison ivy and stinging nettle) and to wildlife including stinging or biting insects, scorpions, spiders, venomous and non-venomous snakes, rodents and birds. Injury can result from walking, hiking, biking or exploring the Property. Any use of the Property is USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RISK OF DROWNING. The lake and its docks DO NOT HAVE FENCING OR RAILINGS AND THERE IS A RISK OF FALLING INTO THE WATER. THERE IS NO LIFEGUARD ON DUTY. The docks, pool deck and hot tub can be DANGEROUS AND SLIPPERY; NO RUNNING is allowed in these areas. I am responsible for supplying safety equipment for myself and my Guests, including life vests. Persons who cannot swim proficiently may not use the water facilities or equipment. Fish and other wildlife are not for human consumption. All Water Facilities are USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Other facilities may be available from time to time, including the pool, hot tub, exercise facility, basketball court, BBQ grills, fire pit, game room and media room. All Other Facilities are USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

There is a 4,000 sq ft barn/storage area housing limited livestock in a gated area specified by Host. The barn stores dangerous equipment including a lawn mower, golf cart, ATV and tools. Access to the barn, its equipment and the livestock is strictly prohibited. Livestock may escape their enclosure, bite or charge. I will not approach, feed or acknowledge livestock, or stand, sit, climb or lean on livestock fences. (The wedding/event barn is a separate venue and is not part of a lodging booking.)
There is no landline at the Property and cellphone reception is limited. I will bring a fully charged cellphone for emergencies. If I encounter any problem or damage during my stay, I will contact Host immediately. IN AN EMERGENCY I WILL CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY.
The Property operates on well water with a septic system and is powered in part by propane.
Other possible risks include falling, sports injury, slips, trips, getting lost, cuts, adverse weather, the acts or omissions of Guests or visitors, and the condition of the Property. The risks described here are not complete; other known or unknown risks may result in SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND/OR DEATH.
Host is not responsible for the condition of any recreational facility, equipment or property, nor for any accident, injury, death or illness to Renter or any Guest while using them, or while anywhere on the Property, whether the condition is known or unknown.
I am responsible for the safety of myself and my Guests, including advising my Guests of the risks of staying at the Property and inspecting all areas and equipment before use.
I UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF THE FACILITIES, EQUIPMENT AND ACTIVITIES ON THE PROPERTY AND ITS NATURAL AND DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE INHERENT RISKS AND DANGERS. I UNDERSTAND THAT SEVERE BODILY INJURY, DROWNING AND/OR DEATH CAN RESULT FROM CARELESS ACTS AND DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. I KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY ACCEPT AND ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL RISKS THAT ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO MY STAY AT THE PROPERTY. I am in good health and proper physical condition for all activities in which I will participate.
The undersigned irrevocably and unconditionally RELEASES, WAIVES, DISCHARGES AND COVENANTS NOT TO SUE Host and its members, officers, directors, agents, employees and sponsors from any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, disputes, damages and causes of action of any kind, known or unknown, now or in the future, with respect to any personal injury, accident, illness or death and/or property loss, however caused, arising from or in any way related to the undersigned’s presence on the Property.
To the extent permitted by law, the undersigned agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Host, its principals, agents, successors and assigns from all losses, claims, demands, causes of action, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising from any injury to the undersigned and/or their Guests, or to their property, as a result of or in connection with their stay at the Property.
