This page contains important information regarding your stay at Lakeside   Cottages. Please take the time to read this page and ask the manager if   you should have any questions or need clarification. Thank you and we   hope you enjoy your stay! 

Check In and Check Out 

The resort check in time is 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM. In the event you need to check in before 3:00 PM or after 8:00 PM, please make arrangements with the manager prior to your arrival. Check-out time is 11:00 AM. Depending upon the resort reservation schedule we may be able to accommodate early check-in or late check-out at an additional charge  

Your Guests 

Overnight guests are NOT permitted, unless arrangements have been made in advance with the manager. Day guests may be permitted at an additional charge of $15.00 per day, providing the resort is NOT at capacity and the registered guest has made advance arrangements with the manager. 

Key and Damage Deposit 

• In order to continue to keep the resort in good condition and nice for all of our guests, we require a key and damage deposit. For stays of less than 7 days a minimum of a $100 key and damage deposit is due at time of check-in. For stays of 7 days or more a minimum of a $250 key and damage deposit is due at the time of check-in. Our rental houses will require a larger deposit between $250- $1,000, depending upon number of guests and rental period.
• Damage deposits for the houses run slightly higher due to the number of persons they sleep and the additional furnishings. The key and damage deposit is fully refundable within 24 hours of check-out, providing the keys are returned, the unit is vacated timely, and the property has not been damaged. 

Reservations and Cancellations 

• Advance reservations require a minimum $100.00 deposit or 50% of the total rent due for the stay, whichever is greater. Each unit reservation requires a separate deposit, and deposits must be received within 72 hours of making the reservation. 
• All deposits are non-refundable. 
• A deposit can be transferred to an alternative reservation date one time. Once reservations are paid in full, 30 days prior to the arrival date, all payments are non-refundable. We recommend you look at third party, travel insurance companies as a way to protect your money should you need to cancel due to illness or other covered reasons.
• Final Payment: Your remaining balance will be due 30 days prior to your arrival date. The credit card on file will automatically be charged the balance due at this time. Alternative payment methods must be called in prior to your final payment due date. This email serves as your authorization to bill the card on file accordingly.
