2. Occupancy: You must be at least 24 years of age to reserve a cabin. Our cabin has a maximum occupancy of 4 guests.

If such a person or group attempts to occupy our rental property, ALL payment will be forfeited and guests will be asked to vacate the property immediately.
3. Rates: Our rates are based on an occupancy of 2-4 guests and may vary based on time of year. Currently, there are three rate categories: weekdays, weekend and holidays; with a moderate discount for weekly stays of 7 days or longer. Additional discounts are also available for returning guests. We do NOT charge a cabin cleaning fee, provided your cabin is left clean and orderly.

However, tenants will be financially responsible for any and all damages to the property or its contents up and beyond the security/damage deposit. Honesty is always the best policy.

In the event you must cancel your reservation within 30 days or less, please notify us as soon as possible. We will make every effort to re-rent the property for your original dates. If we re-rent your property, all monies minus the $50.00 cancellation fee will be returned within 45 days after re-booking. If after a reasonable effort, we are unable to re-rent the property, the 50% or 100% rental payment (which ever applies) will be forfeited. Our payment policy is to charge the amount of the reservation total to the credit card on file 31 days prior to your arrival date. If the remaining amount cannot be charged to the card on file, we will make every reasonable effort to contact the guest on file to complete the payment process. If we cannot reach the guest on file within 21 days before the arrival date, and the remaining amount still cannot be charged to the credit card on file, then all rental payments made to that point in time will be forfeited, and the reservation cancelled. Transfers (subletting) to third parties are NOT permitted. Our management may request a photo ID of the reserving party (matching the credit card used for reservation).
