The remaining rent payment, along with the damage deposit and $30 cleaning fee are due no later than 4 weeks before your stay. Any payment after the 4 week period must be in the form of cash and due upon arrival at the house where it will be collected by me, my wife, or an associate. If within 14 days of your stay you decide to cancel, the damage deposit and cleaning fee will be refunded in full, but your initial deposit and final rent payment will not unless we are able to rent out those same dates to someone else. If we are able to rent out those dates we will refund you the full amount that you have paid. All payments must be in the form of a certified check, money order, bank check, or cash.

7)      Snowmobile Policy: The snowmobile cancellation policy is as follows; if within 7 days of your arrival date we determine that there is not enough snow to ride you can request a full refund. There will be NO refunds if you tell us 1 to 6 days in advance of your stay that you are not coming because of lack of snow. Everyone should know by that time if there is enough snow to ride on. We feel this is a generous refund policy.
