Reservation FAQs

What happens if I don’t cancel my cabin reservation before the 14-day deadline?

If you cancel 14 days or fewer in advance of your reservation, please understand that your deposit and payments are non-refundable. Similarly, your payments are non-refundable if you shorten your stay or check out early.

Do you consider any extenuating circumstances?

We certainly do. For example, things like unexpected illnesses or death are extenuating circumstances. We delineate them below, but in general, an extenuating circumstance must have occurred before the official check-in date for your reservation.

Will I have any fees if I cancel because of an extenuating circumstance?

We must apply a $50 processing fee to a cancellation made under these circumstances.

What are these extenuating circumstances?

We have limited extenuating circumstances to the following:

Death of a guest or an immediate family member of the guest
Unexpected serious illness or injury affecting the guest or member of the guest’s party (A statement from a physician confirming that the person can't travel due to an unexpected, serious illness or injury is required.)
Government-mandated obligations including jury duty, travel restrictions, court appearances, and military deployment (We require a copy of the official notice dated after the reservation was booked, including the name of the guest fulfilling the obligation.)
Natural disasters that prevent travel to the Gathering Place Resort & Lodge, or that make it unsafe to travel
Epidemic disease or illness that suddenly affects a region or an entire group of people based on determinations by the World Health Organization or CDC, and local authorities
Travel restrictions imposed by a government, law enforcement agency, or military that prevent travel to or from the Gathering Place Resort & Lodge

What happens with my deposit if bad weather interferes with my pontoon rental?

That’s a common question. Please be assured that if you have reserved the pontoon, but cannot use it and have not taken it out onto the water because of inclement weather, we will refund the full amount of your deposit.
