Reservation Policy

MAKING / REQUESTING A RESERVATION

Reservations are confirmed only after the receipt of an initial reservation deposit. Once the initial reservation is received deposit, a reservation confirmation will be delivered, outlining the property reserved, travel dates, detailed accounting, which will confirm the initial deposit payment, and instructions regarding the outstanding balance due payment. Once the account is paid in full, a final statement, detailed directions to the property reserved, and parking and check-in details will be delivered.

A reservation request from our site is simply a means of checking availability. It does not confirm or commit us to the dates or property requested. Initial reservation deposits and balance due payment dates vary from property to property. See the details below.
Minimum stay must be met. Our properties have a minimum stay requirement of 5 – 30 nights. We reserve the right to reject a reservation request, regardless of the number of nights requested. If one of our “licensed” properties has less than the required minimum number of nights available, such as a window between guests, we may or may not be willing to rent these dates. Requests of less than the minimum night stay requirement are handled on a case-by-case basis and may be subject to an additional processing fee if approved.

All rates are subject to state tax (currently 10.25% TA Tax / 4.712% GE Tax / 3.0% OTA Tax), the applicable cleaning fee, the applicable damage protection policy, and the applicable security damage deposit.
