However, we realize that plans can change. Should your plans change, you are entitled to a full refund less a $20 administrative charge if you call at least fourteen days prior to your scheduled arrival date. If you cancel less than 14 days prior to your scheduled arrival date. you are responsible for the full amount of your stay less any nights we were able to rebook for the reservation period. This policy also applies to any late date arrivals or early date departures.

Transfer of Deposit - You may transfer your deposit to another date as long as it is not within the 14 day cancellation period. Deposits are not transferable within the fourteen day cancellation period; however you are always welcome to send a friend in your place.

Minimums - Long holidays weekends require a three night minimum stay; weekends between May 1 and November 1 require a two night minimum stay.
