Deposits.  An advance security deposit will be taken equal to the first night’s rate to confirm your reservation.  All security deposits will be refunded if items rented are returned in the manner in which they were received.  If you break something, please let us know.  Otherwise we will be forced to hold your deposit until repair costs can be determined and assessed.

Cancellations.  All cancellations must be made at least 14 days prior to arrival date or the advance deposit will be forfeited.   If you do need to cancel, we will need to assess a small $75 administrative fee per house reservation for credit card processing and transaction costs.  If cancelled within 14 days the entire deposit is forfeited.  This cancellation policy becomes effective upon booking your reservation.  If you decide to make changes to your reservation during your stay, for instance, leave earlier than your check-out date, no refunds or adjustments will be made. 

Ranch Rules and Policies.  To help ensure the safety and well-being of all our guests, we ask that you observe our rules. We appreciate your cooperation and want you to have a comfortable and pleasant experience during your stay.

Camping & Day Guests.  No camping or RVs are allowed on the property without written authorization.  If you are staying at the ranch and wish to invite friends to visit you during your stay you need to get prior approval to do same.  Event fees may apply if your day guests cause the maximum occupancy of the home to be surpassed.  If your day guests decide to stay the night you will need to contact management immediately and notify them of your additional guests and the stated rates for additional guests will apply.  If it is found that you have day guests and overnight guest and management is not notified the maximum occupancy nightly rate for the home that you are staying at will be charged and an event fee (starting at $500 or more depending on the number of people you have on the property) will be assessed.  Basically, please let us know if you want to have people visit you during your stay, we will be happy to work with you.

Adult Supervision.  All children MUST have adult supervision. Water activities, including swimming and fishing, are prohibited without parental/guardian supervision for anyone under the age of 16.

Fires.  All fires must be contained to the fire pits near the ranch houses and must not be left unattended.  All fires must be thoroughly extinguished.

Trash.  Trash from the ranch house can be deposited in the garbage cans next to the house.  If all your trash will not fit in the cans provided, you must take your overflow to the dumpster located next to the Green House.  Be sure to not leave trash out on the ranch or in the creek.  Please help us maintain a clean environment and preserve the beauty of our land.

Hunting.  Due to leases that we have with hunters, hunting is not allowed on the ranch.  Firearms of any kind are not allowed on the ranch (this includes Beebe guns and paint ball guns as well).

Smoking.  Smoking is not permitted inside the ranch house.  A $150 surcharge will be assessed to the credit card on file if smoke is detected in the ranch house.  If additional cleaning expenses are incurred as a result of any type of cigarette or cigar smoke, those expenses will be charged to the credit card on file.

Pets.  We are a pet-friendly ranch.  The ranch houses have fenced areas so you do not need to worry about your dog running off.  When your pets are in the house we ask that you not leave them unattended.  If you want to leave them in the house you are required to bring a crate to put them in when you leave the house.  You will forfeit your advance credit card deposit if pet accidents and/or damage is detected in the ranch houses.  In order to keep our ranch pet-friendly we kindly ask that you keep pets off the leather furniture and off the beds.  If excess debris/pet hair is found on the linens & blankets the full cleaning fee will be charged to the credit card on file.  If additional cleaning expenses are incurred as a result of the pet accident, those expenses will be charged to the credit card on file.  So please help us keep our ranch pet friendly! 

Trail rides.  When riding ATVs, bikes or horses on the ranch we ask for your own safety that you stay on the dirt trails.  You must wear helmets when riding any ATV, bike, or horse on the ranch - no exceptions.
