The Space:

Maximum Occupancy — Strict Limit of 6 People, All Ages Included.

This property operates on a private septic system with a legally binding occupancy limit. The maximum number of people permitted on the property at any time is six (6) total, counting every person regardless of age — adults, children, and infants all included. A true headcount above 6 cannot be accommodated under any circumstances. Exceeding this limit violates the septic system's permitted capacity and these House Rules. If more than 6 people are found on the property, the reservation is subject to immediate termination and removal, with no refund for unused nights.
