Our office hours: 9am-6pm EST Monday-Friday, 9am-6pm Saturday and 10am-6pm EST on Sunday. We encourage you to arrive before the office closes in case you need to review directions to your cabin, chalet or condo with a member of our staff. Moreover, it will be easier for you to navigate unfamiliar roads for the first time during the day. A valid driver’s license matching the guest on file and credit card holder is required upon arrival. Also, we must have a signed rental agreement and related documents on file before we can grant access to any of the units. Please call us prior to your arrival date if you plan to arrive after the office has closed and we will give you the late check-in procedures.

Guests assume all responsibility for finding the units after 6pm; refunds or discounts will not be given for failure to do so.
