Cabin Polices
RATES & DATES:
Rates are charged by the number of nights that you are staying in the cabin, not by the days. All cabins have a minimum “night” stay requirement of 2 nights.
There is a 3 or 4 night stay requirement on all major holidays and selected dates throughout the year. Rates vary by season and there is a base rate for all cabins as well as additional charges for additional guests.
One (1) night rentals are considered and are not available more than 1 week in advance of arrival. One night rentals are considered only if it makes good business sense to do so. We cannot accommodate one night stays in 4, 5, or 6 bedroom cabins – the cost to clean normally exceeds our commission. Discounts are not available for one night rentals. Full rack rates apply and include additional fees for outside cleaning services.
TAXES & FEES: All reservations will be charged the current tax rate of 9.25% plus an additional Resort Fee of 9%. Total Taxes & Fees are 18.25%.
ADDITIONAL PER PERSON CHARGES: Each cabin has a base rate for a set number of people and then $12.00 for each additional person, per night. Children 3 and under are free. We respectfully ask that you give us accurate information about the total number of people in your cabin.
PET CHARGES:
Some cabins allow pets and the charge is a non-refundable per pet, per night fee. Please do not bring unauthorized pet(s) as there is always evidence! Pet fees range from $15 to $25 per night, per pet. If booking on-line, please let us know if you will be bringing more than 1 pet in the comment section, we will adjust before sending you a confirmation
All Cabins are Family Friendly. WE DO NOT ALLOW PARTY GROUPS
AGE REQUIREMENT:
For groups of 4 or less: Everyone in the group must be 21 or above. Exceptions are made for married couples ages 18-21.
The restriction is to eliminate parties in our cabins. All cabins are Family Friendly
AGE REQUIREMENT for groups of 5 or more : All cabins are Family Friendly. You must be at least 25 years of age to reserve or stay in a vacation rental. Everyone in the group must be over the age of 25. We will not rent to vacationing students or singles under 25 years of age or un-chaperoned groups. Upon check-in, we reserve the right to refuse service with monies forfeited if any discrepancies in our policies are suspected.
Exceptions: Chaperoned Church functions do not fall into the age requirement restriction.
DOWN PAYMENTS:
We accept MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover. To secure your reservation, we will need a major credit card to apply the down payment. A $100 down payment is required to complete your reservation. Down payments are applied towards the balance. The final payment will be scheduled to automatically post at 5:00 AM – 21 days prior to your arrival.. Please plan to have funds available 20 days prior to prevent a decline. When making a reservation on-line for Geronimo your card will be charged $100 and additional charge of $400 will be applied by the office and a 2nd confirmation will be sent.
CONFIRMATION: A Confirmation for your reservation will be emailed to the address provided at the time of reservation. Please review the confirmation for accuracy of dates and accommodations. Please notify Beavers Bend Vacation Getaways of any discrepancies in the reservation immediately upon receiving the confirmation. We strongly recommend that you check your dates and the cabin assignment to ensure no mistakes were made. It’s human to error; it’s good practice to double check! We will not compensate for error – your confirmation is sent for you to check.
IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE YOUR CONFIRMATION: On-Line reservation confirmation will be sent no later than the following morning by 10:00 am.
When making your reservation by calling us directly, a confirmation will be sent immediately after the completion of the call.
If you do not receive your confirmation, please return to the website/contacts and send us a short note, as we cannot always communicate through some servers. We consistently cannot communicate with sbcglobal accounts. If we are not added to your address book, most confirmations fall into your spam/junk mail folder.
Cabins are “Self Check-In”. Approximately 5-10 days prior to arrival a 2nd confirmation will be sent that includes your combination lock code to enter your cabin. Please print your confirmation as it includes your driving directions to your cabin. There are areas of limited cell service so it is best to print out the directions prior to your travel. At anytime, if you need assistance, please call.
FINAL PAYMENT: The final payment will be scheduled to automatically post at 5:00 AM – 21 days prior to your arrival.. Please plan to have funds available 20 days prior to prevent a decline. If you would like to split payments, please ask each person in your group to call us to arrange payment, prior to the final payment. We can only accept payment over $100.00 and a limit of three (3) payments to one account – not including the down payment. In other words, if you have a group of 10 adults, we can only accept 3 payments, your group will need to buddy-up to make the 3 payments. We simply can’t tie up the telephone lines for 10 payments. (The person making the reservation + two others = 3 payments)
CANCELLATIONS:
If for any reason you need to cancel your reservation the down payment will not be refunded. To avoid additional penalties, we require a 30-day notice of cancellation. Full rental payment will apply if reservation is cancelled within 30 days of the reservation/arrival date. If the cabin can be re-rented, we will refund you (less) the down payment. Your down payment is non-refundable.
Only the guest named on the reservation may cancel or make changes to a reservation. We request all cancellations in writing, via e-mail. We will accept cancellations via phone call, but will again request a follow-up e-mail.
All cancellations will be issued a cancellation number for your file. We regret that we cannot accept cancellations by voice mail.
Your reservation is not cancelled unless you receive a cancellation number.
CHANGING CABINS & CHANGING DATES: Subject to a $45.00 fee. Changing cabins or changing dates cannot be honored during the cancellation clause (30-days; each of the cabins is individually owned). It is considered a cancellation for one owners’ cabin and a booking for another owners cabin. Cancellation policies will apply. This clause does not include additions/subtractions to the number of guests. You can change the number of guests in your cabin at any time, even during your stay. There will be no additional fees charged for adding additional nights to your existing reservation aside from the nightly rate. There will be a charge applied for lowering the number of nights on your reservation.

HOT TUBS & COVERS: Please do not allow anyone in your group to walk-on, jump-on or play-on the hot tub covers, they will break. The condition of your hot tub cover was documented prior to your arrival. Our hot tubs are cleaned and chemically treated after every rental. Hot tub use is strictly at your own risk. Persons who have high blood pressure, skin sensitivities, or who might be pregnant are strongly urged not to use a hot tub. Hot tubs can cause your blood pressure to rise if you have been drinking.

RV HOOK-UPS & TENT CAMPING is prohibited on most cabin properties due to the deed restriction of that area. Please call for clarification before bringing a RV or Tent. (A pup tent for kids play is OK)
SHOOTING GUNS OR FIREWORKS is prohibited on cabin property. Frankly we don’t know where you can set-off fireworks. All land is private or government owned and neither will allow fireworks. If you have a gun and want to target practice, you can in the national forest but MUST have some sort of hunting license. Game Wardens do not like target practice in the woods because of the danger of accidents. Our suggestion is to leave your guns and fireworks at home.
WILDLIFE ENCOUNTERS: When on vacation in the forest there is a heightened probability Guests will encounter some type of wildlife, insects or stray animals (normally cats). Each property is professionally treated on a scheduled basis for interior pests, but because of the natural habitation of the forest, no refunds or compensation will be given for any pests inside or outside of cabins. Guests may also encounter dogs or cats at the property. These animals are the family pets of a neighbor or a stray animal. Guests should NOT feed these animals or permit them to enter the cabin. Guest should not allow their children to play with, pet or feed these animals. We are not responsible for any wildlife or animal encounters of any kind. Keep in mind wildlife and strays do NOT have vaccinations. I will not pay your medical bills or attempt to capture or kill a wild animal or stray for rabies observation/testing.
PROPERTY AMENITIES – TELEVISION PACKAGES – INTERNET SERVICES
All properties are privately owned, furnished and equipped by the cabin owner. As such, (BBL) cannot make any changes to the furnishings or equipment provided by the owner. We cannot alter television provider or subscription package, and cannot guarantee any program or event. Internet service is available at most properties, but BBL cannot be responsible for computer compatibility or internet failure. No refunds or compensation will be given for internet failure or computer incompatibility.
PROPERTY ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
There is a fee of $100 for tampering with the electronics, ie: television, receivers, etc. equipment in the cabins. Please do not unhook or disconnect the equipment for video games or for any other reason. Housekeeping will check the TV’s, DVD’s, stereo, surround sound, etc. to ensure they are in working order.

FIREWOOD is not provided at most cabins. If you would like to purchase firewood and have it delivered to your cabin prior to your arrival, please let us know in advance. We cannot reimburse you for unused wood. Please take it home, it’s yours! We really don’t know if the wood is going to burn well or not & cannot reimburse you for wood that you feel is not satisfactory. We suggest you purchase a fire starter of some type to help your wood burn better.
DO NOT BURN PINE IN ANY INDOOR OR OUTDOOR FIREPLACE. The high sap content of pine wood makes it dangerous. When the sap is burned, it creates tarry smoke that can coat the inside of a fireplace, causing a possible fire hazard. The charge to clean the pine from the fireplace can exceed $500.00.
CLEANING: Linens and towels are included in the cabins; daily maid service is not included in the rental rate. We suggest you bring extra towels for outdoor use. Please do not remove towels or linens from the cabin.

We love weddings and events but please understand that this is a cabin and not a wedding chapel. We do not have the space to properly host a wedding and know that you will be moving and making a lot of rearrangements in the cabin to accommodate your needs.
