CANCELLATION/REFUND:

•Due to the small size of our inn, cancellations affect us greatly. When a guest reserves a cottage, it is removed from our available inventory and it will not be booked to another party. We rely primarily on advance reservations, and cancellations are difficult to re-book. A last minute cancellation gives us little chance of re-booking the cancelled cottage, due to our location. Therefore, we firmly adhere to a strict cancellation policy and appreciate your understanding.
•Cancellation policies are effective once a reservation is booked and confirmed.
•Cancellations received 31 days or more, prior to arrival date: total amount is refunded, less a $35 per day, per cottage processing fee.
•Cancellations received 30 days or less, prior to arrival date are non-refundable and result in the forfeiture of the entire amount paid, unless the entire stay is re-booked by another party. Guests will ONLY be refunded IF we are able to fully rebook your cottage(s) dates, less a $50 processing fee
•Reservations made 30 days or less from the scheduled arrival date are non-cancellable and non-refundable, and result in the forfeiture of the entire amount paid, unless the entire stay is re-booked by another party.  In this case, the total amount paid will be refunded, less a $50 processing fee.
•No-shows/late arrivals/early departures/or cancellations on or after the scheduled arrival date: guests are responsible to the entire amount of the reserved stay with taxes.  No refunds will be issued. 
•No-shows on the arrival date, without prior notice, will cancel the entire reserved stay. There are no refunds or credits for unused nights.
•Reservations are not transferable to another party or another date.
•Cancellation due to non-compliance of inn policies.  Guests must present a valid government issued photo ID (U.S. state driver's license or state issued ID card, U.S. passport, military ID) and credit card (Visa/MC) at check-in.  The ID must match the name on the reservation and credit card.  Guests registration and check-in cannot be completed without the ID and credit card.  If a guest fails/refuses to provide an ID and credit card - their decision forces the  immediate cancellation of the entire reserved stay and forfeiture of full payment.  No refund will be issued.
•A guest's reserved stay may be canceled with cause, due to their actions and violations of inn policies.  No refund will be issued.
•Cancel Notification MUST be made in writing and emailed to: [email protected] and preferably as a reply to your direct reservation confirmation. Phone calls or voicemails are not accepted,
•We are not responsible for unexpected situations such as: personal, family or medical-health issues/emergencies, schedule changes, flight delays, travel mishaps, weather conditions, preferences changes or any other/exceptional circumstance or unexpected event that may arise.
•There are no refunds, once a guest is check-in.
•WE SUGGEST THE PURCHASE OF TRAVEL INSURANCE, AS CANCELLATIONS MAY BE UNAVOIDABLE.
•Reservations that are cancelled cannot always be re-booked so keep that in mind as you make your reservation. We may be turning away guests all week and last minute reservations may not occur.
•PLEASE RESPECTFULLY MAKE ANY CANCELLATIONS AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE AS ANOTHER PARTY MAY WISH TO RE-BOOK THE SAME DATES. WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO TRY TO RE-BOOK THE COTTAGE.
•Our cancellation policy protects us as a small business with a limited number of cottage rentals available. Our cancellation policy is NOT dependent on the cause or reason of a cancellation. Travel Insurance protects you, the guest, against the unexpected. We strongly recommend that guests consider purchasing travel insurance so that you can book with confidence and be assured that you have appropriate protection should there be unexpected events.

RESERVING DURING HOLIDAYS AND/OR SPECIAL EVENT PERIODS:  Reservations during special events or holiday periods are subject to a longer cancellation policy, which will be stated in the confirmation notes. Should you not cancel your reservation within the specified time frame, you will be charged for all nights of your original reservation. A minimum night stay may be required. Early departures will be charged for the original reservation.
