Checking Out

Check-out time is 10:00 a.m. on your check-out day. No Exceptions! Please understand that it is a challenge to prepare all our cottages between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. for the next Guests, so 10:00 a.m. is a firm check-out time. Your assistance in completing the check-out procedures on the back of your Check-In packet and leaving the cottage by 10:00 a.m. is greatly appreciated. Additional rent in the amount of $100 per hour may apply. You will be given instructions upon check-in of what we ask of you when you leave your cottage, or you can review our check-out procedures below.

Early Check-Out

If you check-out before our office opens in the morning, simply drop your keys and Check-in packet in the box, place rental linens and towels back in the nylon bag and leave it in the foyer of the office.

Check-Out Checklist

Our rental weeks begin on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Due to the limited amount of time provided for housekeeping to ready your cottage for the next occupancy at 4-6pm, we ask your cooperation to see that your cottage is ready for our housekeeping staff at 10am. Please complete the following, or if you prefer to check with the housekeeping department (prior to the day of check-out) for a price to complete it for you.
