NC Cabin Rental Booking Policies

– OWNER’S RENTAL AGREEMENT –

– OWNER’S PET AGREEMENT IS HERE (Pet Policy Link)

This is a vacation rental agreement under the North Carolina vacation rental act. The rights and obligations of the parties to this agreement are defined by law and include unique provisions permitting the disbursement of rent prior to tenancy and expedited eviction of tenants. Guests signature is not ordinarily required. A guest’s payment of money or taking possession of the property after the agreement has been made available, by N.C. Law, is evidence of guest acceptance. Also implied is the guests intent to use this property for a vacation rental. Guests concerned with the possibility of having to cancel within 30 days we suggest travel insurance coverage. This is available through most any travel agency.

NOTE: HOT TUBS ARE FOR ADULTS ONLY.  18 YEARS AND OLDER – The presence of parent/s does not override this policy.

  1. NIGHTLY MINIMUMS – Rate may vary:
    Properties require a 2-night minimum stay. Longer minimum stays may be required and rates may vary slightly during holiday periods and certain local events. One (1) night reservation are accepted if the arrival date is within three (3) days from the booking date.
  2. PAYMENTS: WE STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU PURCHASE TRAVEL INSURANCE. IT IS AFFORDABLE.
    Insuremytrip.com is one source. Generally, for around $50 a guest can insure the room rate paid for a $700 three day weekend.
    *RESERVATIONS SECURED ONLINE: Your credit card will be charged 50% at the time the online reservation is processed. If the reservation arrival is within 31 days, payment in full, plus the $75 cleaning fee will be processed in either one or two transactions. A final confirmation email, including directions, key code and other useful information will be sent at that time. For arrivals more than one calendar month in advance, guests’ final payment, plus the $75 cleaning fee will be charged no earlier than 31 days from arrival and then the final confirmation email will be sent.
  3. OTHER CHARGES AND FEES: ALL CABINS ARE NONSMOKING
    The interior log walls of all cabins are not sealed. Smoking odors require several days, with windows open, to dissipate. If smoking has been detected in our cabins, a $400 fee will be charged to the credit card on file (No Exceptions).
    Occasionally, our guests forget to wash their dishes and take their trash to the dumpster. Why isn’t this part of the cleaning fee? Most guests don’t need to be asked to wash their dishes. They understand that dirty dishes can attract unwanted pests and wash them as they are used. However, if we do not clearly state this policy, there are some guests who will leave dirty dishes until they run out. Extra charges for leaving dirty dishes or trash in the cabin vary up to $75.
  1. CANCELLATIONS, TRANSFERS, FORFEITS and REFUNDS – Notifications and requests must be made via email. WITH MANY  UNFORESEEN SITUATIONS, WE SUGGEST THAT GUESTS CONCERNED WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING TO CANCEL WITHIN 30 DAYS PURCHASE INSURANCE COVERAGE. THIS IS AVAILABLE THROUGH MOST ANY TRAVEL AGENCY. TYPICALLY, INSURANCE MUST BE REQUESTED AT LEAST 15 DAYS PRIOR TO ARRIVAL AND IS VERY AFFORDABLE IF GUESTS ONLY REQUEST NIGHTLY RATE REIMBURSEMENT.
    The registration fee is never refunded. Outside of 30 days from arrival, full refund, less registration fee. Fifteen (15) to thirty (30) days from arrival, 1/2 of of total payment.will be refunded Inside 15 days from arrival there are no refunds.

  • Transfers (subletting) to third parties is not permitted. Onsite management will request a photo ID of the reserving party (matching the credit card used for reservation). The reserving party whose credit card is used must be a member of the party that stays in the cabin and provide their credit and identification upon request.
