Policies
Payments & Deposits
A 50% deposit is required at the time of reservation and is charged to the Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover card you provide. The remaining balance is due on the day of check-in and will be charged to the card on file unless other payment arrangements have been made.
Cancellations
For Reservations via Online Booking Services such as Expedia, Hotels, AirBNB or Booking:
Please refer to their cancellation policy, as we cannot override their policies. Any changes to your reservation and/or cancellations also need to be processed through the site you used to book your stay.
For Direct, Individual Room Reservations:
If your plans change, 100% of your deposit minus a $25 cancellation fee is refundable when canceled up to 8 day(s) prior to arrival. Deposits are forfeited for cancellations within 7 days of arrival.
For Direct, Full-House Reservations:
100% of paid prepayments minus a $150 cancellation fee are refundable when canceled 31 day(s) before arrival or earlier. Deposits are forfeited for cancellations within 30 days of arrival.
The cancellation fee also applies to changes in your arrival/departure date which result in a shorter stay. No refunds are provided for late arrivals or early departures. If you have selected a non-refundable rate, that supersedes the above-stated policy. We highly recommend using travel insurance if you believe your plans may be subject to change.
