Deposit: Your first payment is due at the time of reservation. This payment is applied to your total, which is due 45 days before your arrival. Your final payment may either be made by personal check or by debit/credit card.

Cancellation Policy: We have a NO REFUND policy. Please note that this is not a hotel, but a small, family owned vacation rental, and we cannot easily write off lost income from cancellations, as do large hotels. Once you have reserved our cabin, it is taken off the availability calendar and all inquiries for that period are turned away. As a result, all payments made, including the rental deposit, are non-refundable. If you are concerned about the possibility of a last-minute cancellation, we strongly suggest that you obtain trip cancellation/interruption insurance. We do not refund for inclement weather, hurricanes, any acts of Mother Nature, job change/transfer, illness, or death in the family. Trip insurance is recommended in the event a cancellation may be necessary. Please refer to the following paragraph for Travel Insurance. Late arrivals and/or early departures do not warrant a refund.
