Reservations

Reservation Policy

  • To confirm a reservation a deposit for the first night, not including tax, is charged at the time of booking.
  • Only the registered guest with the confirmation number is authorized to discuss details of a reservation or make any changes
  • Deposits cannot be transferred from one existing reservation to another.
  • Guests must provide the names and addresses of the individuals occupying all rooms they reserve. A maximum of three rooms can be reserved. If additional rooms are needed, reservations for them must be made by the individual who will occupy them. Reservations made in person, by phone, and online are reviewed for compliance of this policy.  Reservations violating this policy will be cancelled, and deposits forfeited.
  • If you plan to use a gift card, auction certificate, or other approved form of payment, a first night deposit is still required. Your deposit will be refunded when you present a valid gift card or certificate.  Standard cancellation policies apply to these reservations.      
  • We will do our best to provide the accommodations you requested. If we are unable to do so, we reserve the right to provide comparable accommodations.
  • All units have occupancy limits.  If occupancy limits are exceeded, you will be charged $100 per person per day.    Air Mattresses, rollaway beds, and cots are not permitted.  
  • With the exception of a limited number of rooms in Fiddler's Pond, pets are not allowed in any of the resort hotels, homes or condominiums. Violators will be required to take their pet to a kennel and will be charged a $200 per night cleaning fee. 

Arrival & Departure

  • Check-In begins at 5:00pm, and check-out is no later than 11:00am. While we will do our best to accommodate requests for early check-ins and late check-outs, it is not always possible to do so.  Our staff is not allowed to guarantee either.
  • You are welcome to use the resort’s facilities before check-in on the day of your arrival and after check-out on the day of your departure. To do so, you can pre-register at the Welcome Center starting at 12pm on the day of arrival. 
  • A security deposit is required if you are staying in a Grand Vacation Home or Villa. On departure, your accommodations will be inspected. If there is no damage, your security deposit will be refunded. If there is damage, your security deposit will be applied to correct. If your security deposit does not cover the cost of corrections, you will be liable for the balance. All or any portion of your security deposit that is due to you will be refunded within two weeks of departure. 
  • Most of our accommodations have one parking space for which you will have a parking permit. If you have more than one vehicle or a boat trailer, you will also have a parking permit for the Transportation Station or Mountain Village. Camper and RV parking is not permitted, vehicles in violation of policy will be removed at the expense of vehicle’s owner.
  • Charging of electric vehicles and golf carts using exterior outlets is prohibited due to fire and electric hazard.  The use of golf carts on Homestead roads is not permitted by rental guests. 
  • Guests who have not vacated their accommodations and checked out by 11:00am will be charged for an additional night.
  • Our vacation homes and villas are privately owned, and guests are issued a set of metal keys. If you lose a key, you will be liable for the $150 cost of rekeying.
  • ​No changes or adjustments to reservations are permitted at time of check-in.  This includes changing of unit type, unit location, arrival/departure dates, and number of nights. 
  • We do not provide refunds for late arrivals, early departures, or for unused portions of packages.
