For cancellations made within 30 days of stay, the full payment will be retained unless the house is re-rented. We will do all that we can to advertise the available dates and get the Guesthouse rerented. Failure to check in for the first night of a reservation will result in the cancellation of the remainder of the reservation and the full payment will be retained.
