All reservations require a deposit of the first night’s rental amount for stays of less than a week. For stays of a week or longer a weekly deposit rate of $250 for a 2 bedroom cabin or $350 for a 3 bedroom cabin will be collected. Deposits can be made with any major credit card. They can also be made by personal check, but must be received within 10 days of booking your reservation. Balance is paid upon check-in.
Credit Cards
We accept most forms of legal US tender for payment including cash, checks and credit cards. We do charge a 3% credit card fee on all credit card transactions.
Check In/Check Out
Your vacation begins at 2 PM. Please NO early arrivals. We have very little time to get the resort ready for our new guests. Arrival prior to 2 PM will result in a $50 early-arrival fee per cabin. Check out is 8AM.
If you will be arriving late to the resort, we ask that you call us and let us know. This is particularly important if you have never been to Birch Forest Lodge before.
Damages
We reserve the right to charge your credit card for any damage or extensive cleaning caused during your stay. Any damage to boats, including props, lower units and skegs are the responsibility of the renter and must be paid in full.
Early Departures
Renter is responsible for the entire reserved length of stay. Refunds are not given for bad weather.
Day Guests
No day guests allowed unless first approved by Birch Forest Lodge. A charge will be applied for all approved day guests.
