Cancellations made between 15-30 days will forfeit their initial deposit. No refunds will be made for cancellations made 14 days or less from the check-in date. Moving a reservation inside of 30 days will be treated as a cancellation for refund purposes. Payments made for rooms booked in association with group events are non-refundable regardless of the timing of cancellation. Group events include anything booked in association with usage of the event center, or 5 or more cabins by any associated group whether or not the reservations are under the same name.
