FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  1. Is the hot tub currently open? Yes, it is! We clean and chlorinate it daily.

  2. Does each cabin have its own hot tub? No, we have one hot tub rated at a 7 person capacity but 4 is most comfortable. The hot tub is situated centrally away from the cabins and is sunk into the ground and landscaped for a private feel.

  3. Can I get to the cabins in the winter/Do I need 4WD? The city gets everything plowed very quickly. The roads to us are mostly paved and bare off quickly. The little bit of gravel to us usually is also plowed quickly, but if not, Steve, will plow it.If you are not used to driving in snow, I do just recommend renting a vehicle with AWD. 4WD is definitely not necessary to get around. However, if you are not used to driving in snowy weather, AWD will make it much easier on you, but 2WD will also get you around just fine.

  4. Does the kitchen have everything I need to cook? Yes, the kitchen is fully stocked with cooking utensils, pots/pans, etc. Everything you need to prepare a meal! There are also two gas grills on site for guest use.

    Booking:

  18. What is the difference between booking direct and booking through a booking platform?
    Platforms like Airbnb and VRBO typically charge around 15% in fees for you to book through them. If you book directly, there are no fees other than the 8% MT Lodging tax and the exit cleaning fee which you are paying no matter where you book. We will authorize a hold of $75 on your card the day before your arrival as a Security (Damage) Deposit, which will be released after you check out.
    Booking direct usually ends up saving at least $75-$150.
    Note: The Airbnb service fee is also usually non-refundable no matter when you cancel and VRBO only refunds theirs if the host fully refunds the reservation.

  19. How does the payment process work? You will be required to pay 50% of the reservation total up front to confirm your reservation. You will receive another email from us (the email will be support@chargeautomation.com) to complete your Pre-Checkin. This is for your second payment and your Security (Damage) Deposit. It will ask you to enter your CC info again. Then it will automatically charge your card 30 days before your arrival for the 50% owed. It will also authorize a hold for the $75 Security Deposit the day before your check-in which will be released after check-out. YOU CAN ENTER YOUR INFO RIGHT AWAY OR WAIT FOR THE DUE DATE OF 30 DAYS BEFORE CHECK IN. You will receive email reminders if choose not to enter the info immediately.
