We understand that plans can shift unexpectedly, and we aim to offer flexibility while ensuring fairness for both guests and homeowners. For cancellations made 30 days or more before your scheduled arrival, you will receive a full refund, minus a modest $25 administrative cancellation fee. This gives you peace of mind when booking one of our luxury vacation rentals in advance. For cancellations made between 8 and 29 days prior to arrival, the initial 25% deposit is non-refundable. If you cancel 7 days or less before check-in, the full reservation amount is forfeited. Since our premium properties in Gilford and the surrounding Lakes Region are in high demand, this policy helps us maintain top-tier service and quality for all guests. We highly recommend purchasing trip insurance for added protection.

At the time of booking one of our luxury vacation homes, a security deposit hold is placed on your credit card as a standard precaution. This amount is not charged but reserved shortly before your arrival and automatically released after check-out—provided there is no damage and all keys or access codes are accounted for. This policy ensures transparency and trust between guests and homeowners, helping us maintain the high standards of our Gilford-area properties. From start to finish, we aim to provide a smooth and secure experience so you can focus on enjoying your stay.

We proudly partner with Truvi (formerly SUPERHOG), a trusted guest-screening platform used by top-tier vacation rental providers. Truvi ensures secure and compliant bookings by verifying your identity and helping protect both you and the property. Guests must complete their Truvi application within 48 hours of booking. This includes ID verification, uploading a valid government-issued photo ID, and signing a rental agreement. A $50 non-refundable damage waiver is also collected through Truvi to cover accidental damage. This quick and secure process is designed to give you peace of mind, so you can enjoy a world-class, worry-free stay in Gilford.
