Occupancy Limits
Because our resort is on a private septic system, Franklin County law specifically limits the occupancy per unit. Therefore, it is extremely important that you not exceed the adult maximum occupancy of your rental unit by county law. Adults are defined as persons over the age of 6 years. Exceeding the limit will result in an additional charge of no less than $50.00 per person per night, and may result in immediate eviction with forfeiture of rental agreement. Maximum occupancy is as follows: 1 bedroom units - 2 adults; 2 bedroom units - 4 adults; 3 bedroom units - 6 adults
