What to do about mice

We have a cabin in a wooded area that we're Airbnb'ing.  The cleaner let us know that she found mouse droppings.  If it were my house, I'd set a trap and deal with whatever we catch.  I'm hesitant to do that here for fear of kids snapping a finger, or someone freaking out over a dead mouse in a trap.  I'm a little hesitant to use poisons for fear of one dying in a wall and stinking the place up.  What are some solutions you guys use?  

I'd love to pull a Paul and just put a rifle in the corner and charge extra for the entertainment value of shooting them, but the insurance guy said "no".

There are also mouse traps that place the live mouse in a holding area of the trap. You can remove the trap and release the mice in the crawlspace of a competitors STR.
