Early Check-In Fees (when available) Up to 2 hours early: $100 flat 3–4 hours early: $200 flat Late Check-Out Fees (when available) Up to 2 hours late: $100 flat 3–4 hours late: $200 flat All options are subject to cleaning schedules and must be confirmed in advance, ideally at least 48 hours prior to arrival or departure.

What is the minimum night stay requirement?

Most homes require 2–3 nights, with longer stays (4–7 nights) during summer, holidays, and festivals.

Can we host weddings or large events?

Our homes are for lodging, not weddings or commercial events. Family reunions, retreats, or milestone birthdays may be approved with prior notice, an event fee, and additional security deposit.

What is your cancellation policy?

All reservations are non-refundable. Because we understand plans can change unexpectedly, we strongly encourage guests to purchase travel insurance, which can help protect your investment should you need to cancel. Why no refunds? Once you reserve, we immediately block those dates on our calendar and dedicate cleaning and preparation resources to your stay. This means we often turn away other groups for those same dates, and our team incurs costs regardless of whether you arrive. For fairness and consistency, we uphold a no-refund policy across all bookings. Travel Insurance Option: To give you peace of mind, we recommend protecting your trip with travel insurance. You can explore options here: Nationwide® Travel Protection .

Are linens, towels, and toiletries provided?

Yes. All homes include premium hotel-quality linens, bath towels, and starter sets of toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and hand soap). Pool and spa towels are provided onsite, but we ask that you use your own towels when visiting our lovely beaches.

Is there a fully equipped kitchen?

Absolutely. Each property has a full kitchen stocked with cookware, dishes, glassware, utensils, coffee makers, and large-group essentials such as griddles, crockpots, and serving platters.

Do your homes have hot tubs, fire pits, or grills?

Yes! Many of our homes feature private hot tubs, outdoor fire pits, and gas or charcoal grills. Please check the individual listing for details.

Is Wi-Fi available and reliable for remote work?

Yes, all properties offer high-speed Wi-Fi suitable for video calls and streaming. Some rural areas may experience occasional bandwidth limitations, but we do our best to provide business-class service.

What if we forget items after we've left?

Our team can pack and ship any leftover items for a fee of $35 + the cost of shipping.

How many cars can we bring?

Parking varies by property. Most homes accommodate 6–10 vehicles, but please review your specific rental’s parking guidelines. RVs, campers, and trailers must be approved in advance.

Are the sleeping arrangements suitable for both adults and children?

Yes. Each home offers a mix of king/queen bedrooms, some with bunk rooms. Our bunk rooms are perfect for kids, and many are adult-sized for fun and flexibility.

Is the property handicap accessible?

The Lake Ann Lodge features main-level, roll-in bedrooms and bathrooms, but not all are fully ADA-compliant. Please contact us with your accessibility needs prior to booking.

Can we rearrange furniture to suit our group?

Furniture must remain in its designated place to protect flooring and ensure the home is staged consistently. If you need special setups (e.g., for a meeting or retreat), let us know in advance.

Start with Heat

Settle into the sauna or hot tub for 15 minutes. Let the heat loosen tight muscles and melt away the day's adventures. Breathe deep and relax—you've earned it.

Take the Plunge

When you're good and warm, head to the cold plunge for 2-3 minutes. It's bracing at first, but your body adapts fast. Focus on steady breathing and feel the rush of energy.

Repeat the Cycle

Go back to the heat for another 15 minutes, then cold again for 2-3. Do this 2-3 times total. Each round feels better than the last, and your body will recover faster than you thought possible.
