Because of that, we require a deposit to guarantee a room. Your deposit insures that your accommodation will be available as confirmed. Up to four (4) nights stay – deposit equal to one (1) night's stay is required. Five (5) or more nights and special packages – a 25% deposit of the total is required. Group Reservations - 25% of the entire group reservation (all rooms/cabins for all nights) is required. For longer-term rentals of eight (8) nights or more, we require payment in full at the time the reservation is made. All cancellation and early check-out policies apply.
