Policies
An Explanation of Our Normal (pre-COVID-19) Deposit and Refund Policy
Our policies may seem onerous but we operate in a very different environment than most accommodations. The majority of our bookings come months ahead of the actual booking dates and we find that our clients frequently are very restricted in the dates that they can go. So once a date is reserved, the likelihood of booking that date with another party is greatly reduced, hence the ‘no refunds of deposit’ policy. Sometimes we are able to offer last minute bookings at reduced rates if someone cancels, thus the sliding refund rates on the non-deposit portion.
We share the risk of a cancellation due to reasons beyond anyone’s control (eg. fire, area closure, etc) with clients by offering to rebook at a later date in those situations.
Please note that in order to operate we have to make substantial investments in supplies, equipment, maintenance, insurance, fees, lease costs, etc well ahead of the season. These costs cannot be recovered in the case of cancellations.
POLICIES
50% deposit due at time of trip reservation. Remaining balance due 2 months prior to trip departure date. Deposit is non-refundable.
We accept cash, cheque, money order, and Interac e-transfer. Exact change preferred, as we cannot guarantee the amount of change we will have available, due to our location.
Cancellation 1+ month prior to departure date results in 50% refund of non-deposit portion.
Cancellation 14 days-1 month prior to departure date results in 25% refund of non-deposit portion.
Cancellation less than 14 days prior to trip departure results in no refund.
If a trip is cancelled due to situations beyond anyone’s control (fire, area closure, etc.), we will offer the opportunity to reschedule the trip for another time or another season at no charge.
We do accept walk-ins, but cannot guarantee space if no contact is made beforehand. To avoid being disappointed, please call or email first! Payment must be made in full before you stay.
We recommend purchasing travel insurance if you are travelling a long distance to visit us. We accept no responsibility for missed flights or delays due to road conditions, weather, fire, illness, emergencies, or other acts of God.
