CANCELLATION & TRAVEL PROTECTION POLICIES: We do not offer refunds for cancelled reservations. Our cancellation policy needs to be this strict because most families book their gatherings 5 to 7 months in advance. As such even 60 days notice often does not allow for a comparable rebooking. Therefore we strongly recommend that you purchase VRBO's Travel Protection policy. We will even reimburse you for half the cost of that policy if unused at check out. In addition, if you do have to cancel for any reason, we will use our best effort to rebook your dates with another family to recover any uninsured loss of your investment.

Our professional hospitality staff is just a few minutes away and can be available on short notice for anything we can do to make your stay more comfortable or fun.
