Scenic Cabin Rentals

Rental Agreement and Policies

(By renting a cabin you agree to these policies)

Minimum Nights:

Scenic Cabin Rentals require a 2 night minimum stay during most of the year. A 3-night minimum is required for most Holiday weekends; a 4-night stay is required for Thanksgiving weekend. During the winter season, Jan. 3^rd through mid-March, and during the week at other times we will allow one night stays at some cabins.

Payment Terms:

 All reservations require a 50% reservation deposit equal to half the length of your stay. The balance is due 2 weeks prior to your trip. We accept Visa, Mastercard, money orders and checks. We reserve the right to require a credit card to hold the cabin, to cover damages, or to charge for “illegal or non-disclosed” pets or for non-compliance of trash policy.

Check In & Check Out:

Check in time is 3:00 PM and check out is 11:00 AM. Certain times of the year are not as busy as others so you may inquire about early check in or late check outs during these times. Please be prompt about checking out as we need to prepare the cabin for other guests. We ask that you bag all your trash and place in trashcans located in trash bins or cans near cabin. If trashcans are full you must take your garbage to the dumpster. Remove all used linens & wet towels and place on floor, wash all dishes and put away, wipe tables, counters; set thermometer to 55 in winter and 80 in summer. Secure all windows, doors, replace key back in lock box. Turn off all lights, ceiling fans, appliances.

Occupancy & Age Requirements:

Generally, the number of occupants allowed in a cabin is the number of beds it contains. On occasion we will allow up to 2-3 additional people in a cabin with an additional charge per person over the bed limit. You must ask at time of reservation for additional people because some cabins do not allow it.

Cancellation Policy & Charges:

All cancellations or changes to reservation must be made by the person listed on the reservation. Cancellations must be made at least 3 weeks prior to your arrival date for a 90% refund of your deposit. If a reservation is cancelled within 3 weeks of arrival, money received will be forfeited unless cabin is re-rented for the same number of nights. You may choose to reschedule your visit one time if cancellation is made at least 14 days prior to arrival. Scenic Cabin Rentals is not responsible for inclement weather, illness, someone in your party “backing out”, etc.

Damages:

All of our properties are vacation homes that are privately owned and furnished. All items are inventoried before and after each guest, missing items and damages to property will result in additional charges. Guests and their visitors will not participate in any activities that will cause damage or excessive cleaning to the property. Loud and large house parties are forbidden and will result in immediate eviction without refund.

Trash:

Trash has become a major issue because of raccoons, crows, mice, and trash service is only weekly. Trash service in our area is only done by pick up truck and therefore they have strict rules about removal of trash. ONLY BAGGED TRASH WILL BE REMOVED FROM PREMISES. This means all your trash must be placed in bags, tied tightly, placed in trash can with lid on tightly. This applies to all your cans, bottles, boxes. We suggest you burn your boxes in the firepit to reduce trash. Remember the lids must fit tightly on the trashcans or the animals can easily get into the can and create a mess. The trash service will not remove trash in this case. If the trash cans are full then you are responsible to take your trash to the dumpster. Do not over stuff trash cans or throw on top of other cans. Trash pick up is only once a week so sometimes trash cans may be partially full prior to your arrival. Dumpsters are provided in the Resort area for your use in this case. Non-compliance of trash policy will result in an additional charge of $50 to your account. Please be considerate and follow policy. It is a terrible mess to clean up after animals have scattered trash all over the premises or created a disgusting mess in a trash can.

Amenities:

Each cabin comes with a charcoal or gas grill or both, satellite tv with movie channels, dvd/vcr, microwave, toaster, coffee pot, deck, deck chairs, firepit. Cabins have bed linens, hand & dish towels, starter paper towels, starter toilet paper, liquid hand soap & dish soap. Some cabins have Jacuzzi tubs, hot tubs, fireplaces, game tables such as pool table, Air Hockey, Foos Ball or Ping-Pong. Your cabin may have other items not listed, check our website on the “Cabins” page under “Comparison Chart” for specific list of amenities in each cabin.

 

 

Pets:

A few of our cabins allow pets for an additional one time charge of $20.00 a weekend or $35 for 4 nights or longer. All pets must be disclosed at time of reservation. Because some renters only want non-pet cabins due to allergies etc, we ask your honesty in revealing whether you are bringing a pet. Any pet found in a non-pet cabin will result in an additional $75.00 fee and eviction. Pets must be leashed or crated when left unattended in the cabin.

Fire Safety:

Our cabins are all wood structures and located in wooded areas so it is of utmost importance that you adhered to the following rules:

Ø      Only have fires in firepit area and keep small enough to fit within the diameter of the fire ring or fire pit. Do not leave fires unattended and always throw water on fire when finished.

Ø      Do not use charcoal grills on decks. Do not leave burning grill unattended. Do not discard burning embers, charcoal, ahses on ground. Dump into firepit or wait till cool and bury.

Ø      DO NOT THROW CIGARETTE BUTTS OFF DECK, ON GROUND, ETC.

Ø      NO FIREWORKS!

Ø      Use caution when removing ashes and only dump in firepit or bury.

Refunds:

Scenic Cabin Rentals strives to keep all our properties in good working order, clean and well furnished. However, as with anything that is mechanical, etc, failures will sometimes occur. Generally if we are notified we can have someone available within a day or two to fix or replace minor issues. No refunds will be issued for early departures, minor malfunctions, or inclement weather. Scenic Cabin Rentals reserve the right to move your reservation to a comparable property if necessary. You will be notified should this be necessary.

Road Conditions:

Mountain roads can be winding and steep. In winter we do recommend four wheel drive or large, heavy cars or trucks. If roads are icy we advise waiting until late afternoon to depart as often the roads melt by then. We will not expect you to leave by 11:00 AM if roads are icy. On rare occasion if roads do not clear on your departure day we will allow you to stay an extra day at no charge. If there is an ice or snow storm right before your arrival day we will contact you to ask about your type of vehicle and may offer you the option to trade dates. Thankfully, ice storms are a rare occasion on Fridays in our area.
