Cancellations:

Due to our size, cancellations affect us significantly. Consequently, we adhere to a strict cancellation policy. To receive a refund, cancellations must be made more than two weeks prior to scheduled arrival date. For holidays, cancellations must be made at least six weeks prior to scheduled arrival date. This includes weather and/or other emergencies. For any refund there is a cancellation fee; the fee is the greater of 10% of the deposit, or $50. Departure before your scheduled departure date will constitute a cancellation.

 

Miscellaneous:

Breakfast is served 8:30-9:30 am.  We always try to accommodate guests who ask to eat early, but what we are able to provide will depend on what time you'd like to eat and how many other guests we have. We do our best to accommodate all our guests. Coffee and tea are available early every day.

We run into problems when guests want to bring their friends over. Please understand that our lodge holds just ten guests when we are full and that bringing friends over is unfair to the other guests who paid for a quiet, relaxing visit. This is especially true when guests want to bring children to see the lodge. Additionally, our parking lot is only large enough to allocate one spot per room, so we run into parking issues.

If you need anything extra like blankets, pillows. . . whatever it is, please ask us and we will make every attempt to accommodate you. We want you to be comfortable and to enjoy your stay. We are glad to help you with restaurant reservations, purchasing flowers and gift baskets, booking an in-room massage, etc and working to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

 

* If you rent a cabin you can arrive any time you like because we are able to leave a key in an envelope on the cabin door. We cannot do that for the lodge rooms.
