Resort Policies

Reservations

  • Reservations must be made in advance. Space is limited, so space cannot be guaranteed without a reservation.
  • A deposit of $60 per reservation is required at the time the reservation is made. The credit card number used for this deposit will be kept on file.
  • Customers will receive a full refund of a deposit if a reservation is cancelled with more than 48 hours notice. If a reservation is cancelled with less than 48 hours notice, the deposit will be retained as a credit for future use. Deposits kept on file may be used for any service at Paws Crossing and do not expire. No show or failure to cancel holiday reservations will result in an automatic charge of the entire reserved period to the credit card on file.
  • In the event of cancellations or date changes affecting holiday reservation dates, deposits ($60) will not be refunded or credited.
