Sedalia Retreat, Your Home Away from Home

House Rules

Thank you for choosing to stay with us while you are visiting our historical town of Sedalia, Missouri. Whether you're in town for only a bit or a little while, we promise to do our best to make our house your home away from home.

Check-in time is 2p; Check-out time is 12p.

Our house features the August Smart Lock. The reservation system will auto-generate a digital access key for you once your booking is confirmed. Your digital key will not be valid prior to your check-in time or after your check-out time. Please contact us if you need to coordinate an earlier or later check in/out time or if you did not receive a digital access code.

You will find the garage door opener in the silver tray on the small table just inside the kitchen doorway. You may park your vehicle in the garage if you desire. Please return the opener and any additional keys to the tray and use your access code to lock the front door.

No Smoking in the House

An aficionado of fine tobacco myself, I limit my own indulgences to the spacious outdoor grounds. I ask you to please do the same and refrain from smoking indoors and in the vicinity of the doorways.

All Animals Must be Pre-Approved

We're fortunate to have ample space for your critters, both large and small, to exercise and relax too. We do charge a standard fee for house pets and there is a large indoor kennel available for your use, if required. The fees for livestock and multiple dogs vary based on number and type of animal. All animals should be "aired" south of the back outbuilding/shed.

Waste Management

The kitchen sink is not equipped with a garbage disposal. In order to prevent clogs or septic back-ups, please do not pour grease or put food waste down the sink drains.

Please bag all garbage prior to placing in the large garbage container outside the garage. There are large black garbage bags on the steps outside the kitchen door to collect any household waste prior to placing in the dumpster.

Our garbage service day is early Monday morning (except Holidays, then the truck comes Tuesday morning). If you are staying with us or checking out on Sunday, please place the dumpster at the end of driveway near the mailbox so the garbage company can collect it.

Park in Approved Areas Only

We have a long driveway which can accommodate large travel-trailers, boats, and multiple vehicles. You will have access to the attached garage. Large animal trailers may be kept in the backyard. Vehicles are prohibited in the area North and West of the Southeast corner of the back shed. You will damage the septic system and water well if you drive a vehicle in this area.

Internet Connection

Internet service is provided, and you are welcome to use the WiFi. The network ID and security key will be provided when you check-in.

Amazon Fire TV Stick

All television programming is delivered through live and on-demand streaming. You won't miss any of your favorite shows with our Amazon Fire TV Stick. The Fire TV has its own account with numerous channel apps such as: Netflix, DirectTV, Hulu, Pandora, and many more already preloaded. Simply log into the channel using your cable or satellite subscription credentials and have access to all your favorite shows. We bring your favorite programming and watch list to our house digitally!

If you're not familiar using Amazon Fire TV Stick, Amazon has an excellent Fire TV Support website.

After check-out, the Fire TV Stick will be reset so all user credentials are deleted.
