How do I make a reservation?
To make a reservation, you can go to our Online Reservation Request Form, contact us by phone at 256.927.6175 or 918.607.6881, contact us by email or download and mail us the Reservation Request Form. Before you seek a reservation, please read the reservation and cancellation policies below.
What’s your reservation policy?
You can rent the Main Lodge (sleeps 10-12) or the Main Lodge with cabins (sleeps 40-42) for lodging or special events. Reservations can be made up to 6 months in advance. A two night minimum lodging stay (three nights for holidays) is required. At the time of reservation, a deposit of 50% of the reservation is due. Your reservation is held by your deposit. Your reservation is not confirmed until receipt of your deposit and any dates requested can be booked by others prior to receipt of the deposit.
Are you flexible on reservations requests?
We will try our best to accommodate your reservation request.
What’s your cancellation policy?
Since we are off the beaten path, have numerous requests for use and have few walk-in guests, cancellations affect us significantly. Therefore, your deposit will be refunded if we receive notification of your cancellation at least three weeks prior to your planned arrival date. After that, we regret that a refund is not possible regardless of the reason. The same policy applies to a no-show or an early departure.
What’s your damage policy?
Guests are responsible for leaving the premises in the same condition as it was found. Guests are asked to be careful not to damage the buildings or personal property and, if damage occurs, will be held responsible.
What's your smoking policy?
We are a non smoking facility.
Are pets permitted?
Because previous guests have not prevented damage by their pets, pets are not permitted.
