All cabins have some type of stairs, whether inside for a loft or second story or on the front porch, which could be dangerous for smaller children/babies. Also, cabins are not “child-proofed”. If bringing children, you should check each space for potential hazards and mitigate the potential danger.

CANCELLATION POLICY - Note this policy is for direct booking thru MMIC. All other policies are denoted by the platform being used (VRBO/Airbnb, etc.) & all cancellations will be managed per their guidelines. We are a small business and cancellations impact us greatly. When we reserve a cabin for you, we turn away all other inquiries as we have agreed to hold that cabin for you. Cancellations or amendments to reservations must adhere to our cancellation policy as described below. In order to officially hold a reservation 50% of the total balance is due upon receipt of the invoice. Failure to pay the required balance within 24 hours will result in the booking being canceled. After booking - if the check-in date is at least 14 days away or within 24 hours of booking, a refund can be made. A 10% fee may be deducted from the refund to cover processing fees & MMIC time/effort. No refunds for cancellations made within 14 days of check-in. ​

DAMAGE DEPOSIT - A $125 hold will be placed on your credit card 15 days prior to your reservation and it will be released 3 days after checkout. 

TRIP CANCELLATION/INTERRUPTION - We highly recommend direct book guest purchase trip cancellation/interruption insurance in case of family emergencies/bad weather delays, flight/rental car cancellations, job loss, snow/ice, Covid-19 bans/restrictions, etc. If you live in an area prone to hurricanes, forest fires, etc. and cannot make your trip, please seek reimbursement through your travel insurance.

NO refunds may be given outside of the stated cancellation policy unless there is a mandatory evacuation or declared emergency by Union County officials for our area. Please check what travel insurance your credit card may offer. You can also visit www.insuremytrip.com to acquire travel insurance.
