Security Deposit / Additional Costs
Each reservation incurs an accepted commitment of monetary remuneration as a damage/security deposit. As travelers ourselves, we don’t like ‘holds’ being placed on our payment methods when we check into a place when traveling so we choose not to do that to our guests here at the Lodge. What we do ask is that you commit to replacing, repairing or making right any and all damages caused by you, or your guests during your stay. By confirming and completing your reservation with the Acoustic Cellars Lodge you agree to all charges for damages be billed to the payment method used when making your reservation. This security deposit commitment and your credit card will be used at the sole discretion of Acoustic Cellars Lodge to pay for the restoration of the property to its original move-in conditions (outside of other normal wear and tear). Additional costs include but are not limited to: cleaning beyond normal wear and tear, bedding stains or damage, furniture damage, removing excessive garbage, and repairing or replacing any part of the premises, its contents, common areas, and recreational facilities, for damage caused after your move-in and stay. You agree to allow & do hereby authorize
Acoustic Cellars Lodge to charge your credit card on file to pay the additional costs or we may send you an invoice that is payable in full upon receipt.
Repairs and Maintenance
We cannot guarantee against mechanical failure of heating, air conditioning, appliances, power outages, etc. Please report any issues to Acoustic Cellars Lodge and we will make every reasonable effort to have repairs done quickly and efficiently. If you demonstrate that the problem persists after being given phone instructions by an Acoustic Cellars Lodge property associate, a maintenance service professional will be dispatched.
NO REFUNDS OR RENT REDUCTIONS WILL BE MADE DUE TO MECHANICAL FAILURES OR MALFUNCTIONS, INTERRUPTIONS OF UTILITIES, MAINTENANCE PROBLEMS OR CONSTRUCTION IN THE AREA. WHILE Acoustic Cellars Lodge WILL MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO REPAIR ANY MAINTENANCE ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER, IT CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THE ISSUE WILL BE FIXED DURING A GUEST STAY, AS THE COMPANY MAY HAVE TO GO THROUGH HOME WARRANTIES. Acoustic Cellars Lodge will always look for alternative solutions to ensure and prioritize our guests' comfort.
