If you’d like to change the dates or accommodation of an existing reservation, please call the Front Desk to make changes.
There is no refund for late arrival or early departure.
Deposits cannot be converted into an Associate Membership. Deposits can be transferred to new reservation dates if changed 1 month or more before the arrival date, and if held by the same member, but must be used in the same summer season.
Payment is due 60 days before arrival. When paying a deposit by credit card (MasterCard, Visa, or Discover) the balance due will be charged to that card 60 days before arrival. If full payment is not received 60 days before arrival, the reservation(s) will be canceled and deposit(s) forfeited.
We do not accept American Express
