If you are under 18, you may use the Site only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.
4. Reservations and Booking
All Reservations are subject to availability and to acceptance by the Retreat. A Reservation is not confirmed until you receive written confirmation from us and the required payment has been processed.
You agree that all information you supply when booking is accurate, current, and complete. We reserve the right to refuse, cancel, or modify any Reservation that we believe was made in error, contains inaccurate information, involves suspected fraud, or violates these Terms.
Rates displayed on the Site are subject to change without notice until a Reservation is confirmed. Displayed rates do not include taxes, fees, or optional add on charges unless expressly stated.
In the event of an obvious pricing error or typographical mistake on the Site or on any booking channel, we reserve the right to correct the error and to cancel any affected Reservation, with a full refund of amounts paid as your sole remedy.
5. Payment
Payment terms, including deposits and final balances, are disclosed at the time of booking and are part of your agreement with us. You authorize us to charge the payment method on file for the Reservation total, applicable taxes, fees, and any additional charges permitted under these Terms, including charges for damage, excess cleaning, lost keys, unauthorized guests, unauthorized pets, or violations of Property rules.
You represent that you are authorized to use the payment method provided. If a payment is declined, reversed, or disputed without valid cause, we may cancel the Reservation and pursue collection of amounts owed, together with any costs of collection permitted by law.
6. Cancellations, Changes, and No Shows
The cancellation policy applicable to your Reservation is presented to you before you complete your booking and forms part of these Terms. Please review it carefully at the time of booking.
Unless the policy shown at booking states otherwise:
- Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing to manager@geronimocreekretreat.com and are effective only when we acknowledge receipt.
- Deposits may be nonrefundable in whole or in part.
- Date changes are treated as a cancellation and rebooking and are subject to availability and current rates.
- Failure to arrive without notice, or departure before the scheduled checkout date, does not entitle you to a refund.
- Refunds are not issued for weather, insect activity, wildlife, creek levels, water clarity, seasonal conditions, road construction, illness, travel disruption, or changes in personal plans.
We strongly recommend that Guests purchase travel insurance.
We may cancel a Reservation at any time for reasons including but not limited to safety concerns, emergency, natural disaster, property damage, mechanical or utility failure, government order, or violation of these Terms. If we cancel for reasons that are not attributable to your conduct, we will offer alternative dates where possible or issue a refund of amounts paid for the affected nights. That refund is your sole and exclusive remedy, and we are not responsible for travel costs, lost time, or other incidental or consequential expenses.
7. Arrival, Departure, and Occupancy
Arrival and departure times are stated in your booking confirmation. Early arrival and late departure are not permitted without prior written approval and may incur additional charges.
Each Accommodation has a maximum occupancy stated at the time of booking. Occupancy limits are set for safety and insurance reasons and are strictly enforced. Exceeding the stated occupancy, or hosting visitors who are not registered Guests, may result in additional charges, immediate removal from the Property, and forfeiture of all amounts paid.
Day visitors are not permitted unless approved in advance by management.
