Some of our cabins are pet friendly. There will be a non-refundable $50 pet fee per pet for these cabins. There is a weight limit per pet of 10 lbs. or less.

Check In & Check Out
Check-in is 4 P.M. In order to allow the time needed to prepare each cabin to our standards, we do not provide early check-in. If you will be arriving after 6:00 PM you must call the office and let us know so we will have your check-in welcome package ready for after hours pick up. Check-out time is 10:00 AM. You will be expected to put trash in the receptacle located outside, place dishes in the dishwasher and start it, set the thermostat to 65 in the winter and 75 in the summer, secure the cabin with all doors and windows locked and turn the lights out.

Grill Safety
Grills are prohibited from being moved. We canvas the property often, for safety purposes, trash pickup, etc. If any grill has been moved, you will be fined $250.00. Cabins are all wood structures plus our resort is surrounded by trees. One hot coal or one out-of-control flame could be disastrous. We can’t allow you to be responsible for causing damage and perhaps taking a life. Together We Can Save One Of Natures Most Beautiful Resources – The Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Accommodations
The number of occupants is restricted to the number listed on the reservations for all cabins by order of the local fire marshal code. There must be at least one (1) adult age 21 or older in residence and on the premises at all times if children are present.

Cancellations and Rental Changes
Should you find it necessary to cancel your reservation, your deposit will be refunded if you notify us in writing 30 days prior to your scheduled arrival date. We must be notified in writing for your deposit to be refunded. A verbal cancellation will not be accepted. The $45.00 non-refundable reservation fee and taxes will not be refunded under any circumstances.

If you cancel 14 days prior to your arrival date, your money will not be refunded, but will be held for a future reservation for you. That reservation must be completed within one year of the original arrival date and cannot be changed or rescheduled.

If you cancel within the 14 days of your arrival, your deposit will not be refunded unless another reservation is secured for the same accommodation and dates.

No-Show Policy
If you are a "no show" and do not call, we will not refund any of your deposit. You must understand the unit was held off the market just for you.

Housekeeping & Amenities
All cabins are made up with a supply of linens and towels. All kitchens are fully equipped along with a starter supply of soap, dishwashing detergent, toilet paper, trash bags and paper towels. Each home has its own phone number. You are responsible for all your long distance calls. You can receive incoming calls excluding collect calls. You can make local calls, but you cannot make outgoing long-distance calls except collect or on a credit card.

Hot Tubs
Please remember there are certain health risks that are associated with using a Hot Tub. Our housekeepers drain, sanitize, refill and replenish chemicals in all tubs prior to your arrival; therefore, it may not be warm till later that evening. Each reservation has a $20 Hot Tub fee attached. If your unit has two Hot Tubs, the fee is $40. Hot Tub covers are for insulation purposes and are not designed to support a person or persons. DO NOT STAND ON THE HOT TUB COVERS, they will break and you may be charged for replacement. Remember when not using the Hot Tub, leave the cover on so the Hot Tub will stay warm and debris will stay out. Please shower before using the Hot Tub as some body lotions/etc. mixed with the Hot Tub chemicals can cause a rash on your skin.

Refunds
We will do everything we can to make sure your cabin is ready for you. Any damages or problems not reported by the tenant upon arrival will be charged to the tenant. No refunds will be issued for early departure, malfunctions in the equipment (i.e. Hot Tubs, saunas, Jacuzzi, televisions, stereos or VCR) or weather conditions.

Renters will be held responsible for any damaged or missing items or damage to the premises during their stay. We cannot be responsible for any items lost or stolen during your stay. We do everything to keep all equipment in good working order. If something is not working properly, we will do our best to get it up and running for your stay. If you call after hours to report something and it is a true emergency then you will be contacted back as soon as possible. If it is not a true emergency and it can wait, please contact us the next day during business hours. Our business hours are 9:00 AM - 8:00 PM Monday-Friday and 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM Saturday and Sunday.

Road Conditions
Mountain roads can be curvy and steep. Gravel drives are well maintained, however, we highly recommend four wheel drive and/or chains during the snow months. We do not refund due to road conditions.
