Policies and Procedures
Occupancy: The max # allowed in the vacation home is indicated on the individual unit page and on the rental agreement. Children 2+ are counted in the total. Occupancy represents the total # of people allowed in the property (inside or outside) day or night. Violation of this rule will result in immediate eviction.
Bring Your Fur Babies: Some of our units will only accept dogs and some will accept dogs and cats. Please check with us to determine which unit(s) will work for you depending on what type of pet you may have. There is a $125.00 non-refundable pet fee for each rental that has a pet. If a pet is found in an unauthorized property the tenant will be charged for any and all clean up and evicted.
Payment Procedure for Reservations: Half of the total rent is due 7 days after making the reservation. Your final balance is due on arrival, if arriving before 5:00 p.m., with cash, certified check or money order. If arriving after 5:00 p.m. you will need to be paid in full prior to your arrival so we can leave you a key. Reservations made within 30 days of the arrival date payment must be made by certified check or money order. You may pay, at any time, with a Visa, Mastercard or Discover with a 5% surcharge. If any rental prepayment or portion of payment is not received by the specified due date your reservation may be canceled and the property released for general sale. A $30.00 bank charge will be assessed for all return checks.
Cancellations and Reservation Changes: Sometimes cancellations are unavoidable and we will do our best to re-rent your reserved property for the same time period and rate. All cancellations or reservation changes must be made in writing, preferably via email. Cancellations are subject to a $50.00 cancellation fee. Reservation changes are subject to a 15% charge of rent. If the property is canceled by the renter any prepayment monies cannot be returned unless the property is re-rented at no loss to the owner. If we are unable to re-rent the property at no loss to the owner the rental prepayment will be forfeited. We do offer Travel & Vacation Insurance which helps prevent loss of monies for any unforeseeable circumstances. Click HERE for more information
Travel/Lodging Protection Plan: An unexpected incident, extreme weather, injury or illness may cause it necessary for you to cancel your vacation. It is because of the unexpected that Beech Mountain Chalet Rentals recommends that you strongly consider “Cancellation Insurance” to protect your vacation investment. The Travel/Lodging Protection Plane provided by C.S.A. Inc., covers certain unforeseen reasons for trip interruption and/or cancellation. The fee is added to your reservation as an optional item. If you do not wish to insure your travel plans you my opt out and deduct the insurance premium. A complete information pamphlet will be sent with your reservation contract. Coverage is not in force unless payment has been made for this plan at the time of making the reservation. Click HERE for more information
Damage Protection Plan Insurance: All reservations require a $50.00 Security Deposit Protection Plan Insurance in lieu of a refundable damage deposit. This will help to better protect our guests and homeowners against accidental damage to the property. The $50.00 Security Deposit Protection Plan Insurance is NON-REFUNDABLE. We also require a credit card number to be left on file for any charges that may not be covered under the Security Deposit Protection Plan Insurance.
Check In Procedures: Check in begins at 4:00 p.m. during Ski Season and begins a 3:00 p.m. the rest of the year. You may call ahead on the day of arrival to check the status.
