Policies & Refunds

All Rates are subject to availability and may change at any time before your confirmed booking. Rates do not include food from our restaurant or any of the merchandise we sell. As an environmentally conscious hotel, sheets, linens and towels are changed every 4th day or upon request. Rates do not include 13% sales tax. Management reserves the right to withhold deposit per their discretion at time of reservation and is as follows: 50% of reservation is due at the time of booking. The remaining 50% is due at check-in. You may also extend your stay if our rooms are available. Please understand that sometimes our guests ask for a specific room. So if you extend your stay you might need to change rooms to accommodate a previously booked guest. We are more than happy to help you with the transition from one room to another.

As of 2022, Children under 12 are not allowed at this time unless all cabins are booked out for a family or friend reunion/ wedding/ event etc. We are a very tranquil and quiet hotel and we need to respect all of our guests privacy so that you all may enjoy the peace and solitude of your jungle surroundings. Having young children disrupts this tranquility and as much as we love them, it was a decision we felt we needed to uphold moving forward into 2022. We are built on the top of a natural mountain ridge and unfortunately there are too many areas that young children could be injured or hurt. If you choose to book all of the rooms for a special event ie: family / friends reunion, wedding etc. then they will be allowed on case by case basis. Please message us to discuss before booking. If you do book out the entire property for your event, family reunion etc, children need to have adult supervision at all times. If a guests shows up with children under the age limit and without prior approval, we have the right to refuse accommodations and there will be no refund for your stay.

We do have pets of our own ( a jungle cat named Simba and 3 super friendly rescue dogs named Otis, Owen and Ozzie) so unfortunately we can not accommodate pets at this time. If you have a dog, please e-mail us at we can help to find you suitable accommodation for your furry friends.

CANCELLATION CONSIDERATIONS: IF we are able to rebook during that time you cancelled, we will consider waving the service fees. We are a small boutique hotel with minimal rooms so we most likely will not be able to rebook your room in that short amount of time. With that being said, it is under our discretion to refund or waive any fees associated with a cancelled booking. No shows/No calls will NOT be waived. Please contact us immediately if you have problems with making your reservation time slot. If you are cancelling due to a positive COVID test or illness, please contact us with your insurance policy information, proof of your positive COVID test results and your cancelled flight information. Then we can help guide you to file a claim with your insurance. Cancellation refunds will not be considered unless you provide these documents. We will do our very best to accommodate you but please understand we are a small family run business and this is our livelihood. We do not have the same leniances as the bigger establishments. Thank you for your respectful consideration and understanding of our policies.
