1. WE HAVE A 30DAY CANCELLATION POLICY. If you cancel outside 30 days of your scheduled arrival date,
there is no penalty. Inside this 30 days you will be billed for a minimum of 2 night’s rental or the deposit amount
required upon booking. Over holiday weeks/weekends you will be charged the full balance of your scheduled stay
regardless of the deposit amount. Please understand we rely on your good faith to rent this unit and without
cooperation, we lose the opportunity to rent this unit to others without reasonable notice. We have a high rate of
return guests and spend considerable time turning away potential guests. No shows will be charged the full rental
amount. In the event you book within the 30 day cancellation period, understand you are fully committing to the
reservation and you will be charged under the terms of the above.
2. Please keep in mind our units are privately owned homes and condos. We reserve the right to substitute. Units
do encounter unforeseen damage or mechanical failure that can temporarily remove them from being available. In
this event, we will provide you with the most comparable accommodation. We will not charge additional if you are
placed in a more expensive unit and will charge the lower rate if you are placed in a less expensive unit. There will
be no refunds or discounts if we have to substitute a unit.
3. Cabin and Condo rates are based on an agreed-upon number of occupants. All pricing is based on the first 4
adults. Additional occupants without notice and payment is seen as an attempt to defraud and will cause the fees
for additional adults to be doubled. Cabins and Condos are supplied based on the number of reported occupants.
4. Guests are responsible for any damage to the unit and will be billed accordingly. Excessively dirty units will be
assessed with an additional cleaning fee. A minimum of $100.00 will be charged to the registered guest for any
excess cleaning or damage to an individual unit. Cleaning or repair costs in excess of that fee will also be charged
to the registered guest. Please understand we schedule staffing and the next guest’s arrival based on the
assumption the unit has been left in a reasonable condition.
5. We will assess a $25.00 non-refundable pet fee to those who make arrangements to bring a pet in units that
allow. If our office is not notified of a pet, you will be charged a $200.00 fine and possibly asked to depart
immediately. Please understand some of our owners and guests have allergies and our upcoming reservation
could be lost. We designate pet friendly units for a reason.
6. All of our units are NON-SMOKING units. We understand this may be inconvenient to smokers, but understand
these units are for the general public and may offend non-smokers, children and individuals allergic to cigarettes.
You are more than welcome to smoke outside the unit. We will supply a bucket for smokers to prevent cigarette
butts from accumulating on the property. There is a $200.00 fine automatically charged if any evidence of
smoking inside a unit is found. This includes inside the garage on equipped units.
7. The properties are advertised as “fully equipped”. This means everything you would expect to find in a normally
furnished home will be provided. Pots, pans, cooking utensils, towels and bed linens are provided and are the
property of the home/condo owner. We supply hotel style soaps, dish washing soap and toilet paper. WE DO
NOT SUPPLY paper products such as paper towels, napkins and kleenex. We also do not supply dishwasher
detergent or laundry soap. Please bring your own towels and linens if you have allergies to standard laundry soap.
Checking In
1. Check-in is not made available until 3:00 p.m. Check-out is 10:00 a.m. Unfortunately we do need to be strict on
a 10:00 a.m. check-out time, as this unit does need to be cleaned and ready for the next person checking in at 3:
00 p.m. We are more than happy to work with you if you make arrangements in advance to stay later. Please
understand we have to pay our hired help to wait on a check-out if you depart late and we run the risk of not
having the unit ready for the next person. We will assess an hourly charge of $50.00 per hour you are late in
departing. If you stay later than 3:00 p.m. on your scheduled departure date, you will be charged for a full night’s
rental and additional fees will apply if the upcoming reservation that was awaiting your departure is lost.
2. The full amount of your rental is due at check-in. We do understand that many of our guest arrive after-hours,
therefore we will authorize the credit card on file prior to making keys available to you on your arrival date and
release those funds if you choose to use an alternative method of payment. If we cannot authorize funds, we will
not release keys. After 24 hrs of your arrival, the authorization cannot be reversed and your credit card will be
charged. In the event of non-payment, the customer is responsible for all fees associated with collection.
3. Keys and directions to your unit for after-hour arrivals are placed in the drop box located just right of the office
doors. You are welcome to check-in any hour of the night and settle the balance due on your stay the following
day.
4. Upon check in, if you are not satisfied with your accommodations or encounter a mechanical problem with the
unit, notify us immediately. We will happily try to resolve the problem, place you in a different unit upon your
request or offer a refund equal to 50% of that first night’s rental. Please understand we cannot issue refunds or
discounts if you wait several days to report a concern. We need an opportunity to resolve a problem or complaint,
which may result in substituting a unit.
5. During winter stays, all heaters and thermostats are set at 50 degrees. You are welcome to turn them up to a
level of your comfort.
While you stay
1. Respect the property you are staying in! These are privately owned properties and owners expect everything
to be in the same condition as when they left. Also, understand the next guest will be just as critical as you.
- DO NOT drive or park on grass, even if it is just to unload.
- DO NOT rearrange furniture. Putting furniture back in it’s original location takes time and may sacrifice the time
of availability for the next arrival. Renters will be billed for any time spent rearranging furniture.
- PLEASE understand this is someone’s home. They all keep personal items for their use within the property.
2. We purposely leave condiments and other non-harmful foods from prior guests in the cabinets and
refrigerators. This is a courtesy not neglect. We see no point in wasting catsup, mustard, etc. This saves you
money and hopefully you return the favor to the next guest if you use the last of something. These are not items
we supply. You never know they might be the ones departing prior to your arrival next year!
3. We understand that accidents do happen. Please report accidents, so we can fix them. Letting us find
something when you check out is assumed to be negligent.
4. Call the office when it is time for trash pick-up during your stay. If you leave a message after hours we will do
your pick-up the following day. Please do not set your trash outside at night or use private dumpsters. Please
understand we offer high quality units at very competitive prices. We can only do this with a little cooperation from
our guests.
5. We provide office and after-hour numbers with check-in packets. This allows you to report a problem at any
time. We also realize that some units are not equipped with phones. For units without phones, please leave a
note in the drop box after hours. For emergencies, use 911 or locate the nearest public phone. The local
businesses know us well. The 24 hr businesses will happily let you contact us for issues that cannot wait until the
next business day.
6. We do not offer a daily maid service. The bedding and towels are provided based on the number of reported
occupants. We also do not supply laundry soap for units equipped with a washer and dryer.
Checking out
1. We require that all guests wash all dishes and place all trash in the bags provided prior to checking out. Keep
in mind, we supply dish washing liquid NOT dishwasher detergent. Fees listed above will be charged if these items
are not completed.
2. There is no need to stop at the office when you check out. Your balance should be settled within 24 hours of
checking in or we will bill the credit card on file.
3. If you are renting during the winter, return all heaters and thermostats to 50 degrees.
4. Leave keys inside the unit on the kitchen table and lock the doors upon departing.
Guests are responsible for reading and understanding all the terms and conditions in our policies. Reserving
and/or checking into your unit implies that you agree, understand and are willing to comply with the Cuchara Cabin
and Condo Rental Policies.
Please realize we are not trying to be harsh with rules and regulations, but we pride ourselves in providing the
highest quality units in the area at the most competitive prices. We need your cooperation to make the next guest’
s stay as pleasant as yours was.
Thank you
