Terms of Use

Last updated: October 28, 2026.

These terms apply to direct bookings made through wanderluststays.com for the Queen Anne house in Seattle and the Sasquatch Retreat at Snoqualmie Pass, operated by Wanderlust Properties LLC, doing business as Wanderlust Stays. Contact: staywithwanderlust@gmail.com, (425) 677-4424.

Booking and payment

Nightly rates vary by date and are shown on the calendar before you book. The total shown at checkout includes the nightly total, a $230 cleaning fee per stay, and an extra-guest fee of $30 per extra guest, per night, for guests beyond 4. Taxes are charged on the nightly total plus the cleaning fee plus any extra-guest fees: 16.56% for Seattle and 10.30% for Snoqualmie Pass. Payment is taken through Stripe at booking.

Direct bookings in Seattle are for up to 20 guests; Snoqualmie bookings are for up to 9 guests in the base-house configuration. Guest counts above the booked number, or unregistered overnight guests, may be charged the extra-guest fee and, if the house capacity is exceeded, may lead to cancellation of the stay without refund.

Check-in and check-out

Check-in is from 4:00 PM on your arrival date, at both properties. Check-out is before 11:00 AM on your departure date, at both properties. Please follow the check-out instructions in your confirmation.

Cancellation and refunds

Cancellations follow the Firm policy shown at checkout:

Within 24 hours of booking: 100% of the nightly total refunded.
Before 7 days prior to check-in (4:00 PM): 50% of every night refunded.
After that cutoff: no nightly refund.

The cleaning fee is refunded in full in both the 24-hour window and the 50% window, and is not refunded after the cutoff — it is never partially refunded. Taxes are refunded on the refunded portion only. Extra-guest fees follow the nightly refund tier.

Damage security — card on file, up to $3,000

By booking directly, you authorise Wanderlust Properties LLC to charge the payment method used for your booking, or otherwise on file, up to $3,000 for documented damage to the home, its furnishings, or its contents, excessive cleaning beyond normal turnover, or missing items, caused during your stay by you or your guests. The booking guest is the responsible party for the whole group.

This is a card-on-file authorisation, not an upfront charge: no damage amount is taken at booking, and nothing is charged unless damage, excessive cleaning, or a missing item is documented after your stay. It is also not a Stripe authorisation hold — a card hold typically expires in about 7 days, so it cannot cover a booking made months ahead or damage found after check-out. The card-on-file model is the same process used on our Vrbo listing.

Normal wear and tear is not charged. To avoid being charged for pre-existing damage, please report any damage you find within 24 hours of check-in.

How a damage charge is handled:

After check-out, we inspect the home and, if we find damage, excessive cleaning, or a missing item, we will notify you in writing within 14 days of check-out, with an itemised list, photos, and repair, replacement, or cleaning invoices or estimates.
You will have 7 days from that notice to respond or dispute any item, with any evidence you have.
We will charge only the documented actual cost, up to $3,000, after the response period has passed or the dispute is resolved. If documented damage exceeds $3,000, we will invoice you for the balance.

If you disagree with a charge, please contact us first at staywithwanderlust@gmail.com so we can review the documentation together.

House rules

No parties or events at either home unless agreed in writing in advance.
Pets only if confirmed in writing before booking.
No smoking inside either home, as in our other listings. Smoking-related cleaning or damage inside the home is charged under the damage-security section above.
The Seattle garage is not part of the rental; the Snoqualmie garage is not part of the rental. Guest bag and gear storage is as described in your confirmation.

Affiliate and third-party links

Experience and ticket links on this site go to third parties (including Viator, and, once live, Ticketmaster and Vivid Seats). Those purchases are governed by the third party's terms, not these terms. Some links are affiliate links: we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you, and those links are labelled as affiliate links.

Governing law

These terms, and any dispute arising from your booking or stay, are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.

Changes

We may update these terms; the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date. The terms shown at the time you booked apply to that booking.

These terms are provided for general information and do not constitute legal advice.
