Cabin Reservation Policies

Reservations may be made by credit card, check, or cash. If the reservation request is made at least 14 days in advance, a deposit equal to the total rent is due within 5 days from the date of your reservation request. If payment is not received within 5 days from the date of your reservation request, the reservation will be cancelled due to the high demand for these accommodations. A reservation request made less than 14 days in advance can only be made by credit card unless a deposit equal to the total rent is tendered by check or cash at the time the reservation request is made. We will be happy to process your payment at the time of taking the reservation by use of your Mastercard or Visa. Payment by personal check, cashier's check, or cash can be made but must follow the 5 day / 14 day guidelines as stated above.

Cancellation of a confirmed Cabin Reservation must be made at least 30 days prior to your arrival date. Cancellations, regardless of the reason, made within 30 days of your arrival date will result in forfeiture of your total deposit, less cleanup fee & damage deposit. NO CANCELLATION is allowed for any reservation made less than 30 days in advance. All reservations/deposits are non-transferable to another date. However, you are welcome to send a friend or family member in your place. All reservation cancellations are subject to a $50.00 administrative fee.
