🛡️ Guest Damage Protection
All guests are required to purchase damage protection through Safely.com at the time of booking. It covers accidents — because Granny didn't survive this long by leaving things to chance.
📋 Liability Waiver
All guests must sign a digital liability waiver at booking covering: stairs, fire pit, outdoor activities, firearms, and general property risks. Granny's lawyer made her do it.
👀 The Granny Rule
“Treat it like Grandma's house. Because it is.”
