House Rules

• CANDLES: The use of any type of flame is prohibited in all buildings and throughout the site. The new “flameless candles” which are battery operated are permitted for use. (Example: See www.candleimpressions.net – the candles light automatically at the time set and run for 100 hours on a small battery).
• CHILDREN: There have been times we have had guests at the complex whose children were not properly supervised. Children under the age of 18 are your complete responsibility. Please know where your children are at all times and make certain that they clearly understand The Rules.
• PLEASE RESPECT NATURE! We would greatly appreciate it if persons do not disturb plants, rocks, trees or other natural gifts. Please do not nail anything to trees or hang any ropes, swings or hammocks from tree limbs. Please do not walk or step in flower beds.
• COURTESY PROTOCOL: The Nesselrod reserves the right to request any person or group of people acting unruly and contrary to rental regulations to leave the premises. Assistance from law enforcement agencies may be required if this request is not met immediately.
• ELECTRICAL OUTLETS: All electrical outlets on the property are available for use at an event. The vendors are welcome to inspect the locations and numbers of outlets prior to booking.
• DECORATIONS: Only push-pins and drafting tape may be used to affix decorations and/or signs. Any other decorations, signage, electrical configurations or construction must be pre-approved by Nesselrod. Decorations may not be hung from light fixtures. All decorations must be removed without leaving damages directly following the departure of the last guest, unless special arrangements have been made between the Customer(s) and the venue.
  • Note – The only adhesive material allowed on the walls is drafting tape which will not damage surfaces. No masking tape, duct tape, electrical tape, transparent tape or double stick tape is allowed. All other decoration must be freestanding. Nails and staples are not permitted at any location.
  • Note – The use of birdseed is permitted only outside for wedding and reception farewells. Rice, confetti, flower petals, balloons, glitter fog machines, pyrotechnics, sparklers and blowing bubbles are not permitted inside or outside the facilities.

• GARBAGE DISPOSAL: Trash disposal, other than the garbage disposal of items generated by the caterer, is your responsibility. Immediately following the event, please have your Clean-up Committee take a few minutes to walk all the areas of the building and property that have been utilized for the event and pick-up any refuse that may have been dropped or blown around. This trash may be placed into Nesselrod dumpsters.
• GUESTS: Please keep in mind when inviting Guests to your event, that you are inviting them to our home. We will expect visitors to conduct themselves in a mature, responsible and respectful manner.
• HANDICAP ACCOMMODATIONS: We provide level-designated parking, ramped walkways throughout the property along with suitable restroom facilities. Motorized and transport chairs can easily navigate the grounds. All venues on the property are handicapped accessible.
• PARKING: Parking is available at the designated areas on the Nesselrod property (gravel and grass areas). Persons shall park at identified parking locations. Handicap accessible parking is provided. Parking is not permitted on any grass area in front of the main house.
• REFRIGERATOR / FREEZER SPACE: Nesselrod has a commercial refrigerator in our Pavilion for event use. Any refrigerator or mini-fridge in the main house can be used for storage of food items. Please note that these will also contain items owned by Nesselrod. Reasonable room will be made to assist with your meal storage and preparation. Each event is responsible to provide their own ice (there is not a commercial ice maker on site). It makes sense to bring your beverages to the venue already chilled the day of the event. Caterers are expected to make their own food/beverage accommodations.
• RENTAL SPACE CHANGES: Any contents or furniture movement must be pre-approved by Nesselrod. It is the Customer’s responsibility to restore all areas to their original appearance. Placements of tables, tents, live music, catering equipment, etc., must also be approved by the Nesselrod planning staff.
• SIGNAGE: You may post your group’s sign or hang balloons at the front entrance on Route 11, but please do NOT attach anything to or cover up our entrance sign, or nail or screw anything to the trees.
• MAIN HOUSE: The main house at Nesselrod is a Bed & Breakfast is a place of residence. If rooms or house is rented for any event or purpose, it comes with the explicit knowledge that other guests and residents will be using any all rooms at their discretion with exception to private rented bedrooms by client, client’s guests, or other guests of the Bed & Breakfast. 
• PROPERTY: Clients and guests of clients understand that, while they may be granted use of the main kitchen and other areas of the property, belongings inside the Nesselrod structures and grounds are private property. Any items being used during an event must be put back once the event concludes. If items are missing after an event, client accepts responsibility for replacing them.
