CANCELLATIONS
- If canceled more than 14 days prior to arrival date, the deposit will be refunded less a cancellation fee ($25 per Cottage).
- If canceled within 14 days of arrival date, the deposit is non-refundable.
- If you shorten your reserved stay, you are responsible for the unused portion of your reservation.
