Guest Lodging Contribution

As would be anticipated, guests occupying the onsite lodging at the estate typically contribute/pay for their lodging for the weekend, as the Guest Lodging Contribution, thus reducing the overall balance of the Reservation Fee paid by the hosts. As the hosts, however, you determine how much your Guests Pay toward the Guest Lodging Contribution and the resulting reduction of the Reservation Fee paid by you.
