SERVICE FEE NOTE
When making your reservation, you may have noticed a line item/fee that said “Service Fee”. Please note that as of March 1st, 2020, we are *required* by ReservationsOnline – our local, Hocking Hills based reservations processing vendor – to collect a service fee from guests. The fee is 6% if the reservation was made on-line, and 2% if the reservation was made over the phone. We pass that fee on to them. It does not originate from us, Ash Ridge Cabins, and we do not keep it. The vast majority of cabin rental businesses in the Hocking Hills use ReservationsOnline to process their reservations, so they too will be required to charge the same service fee. The service fee is non refundable.

Cancellations
Reservations cancelled more than sixty days  in advance of booked dates will receive a refund of total booking cost, less a 10% cancellation fee and processing fees. (Processing fees are generated through the online scheduling platform and are not fees from ash ridge cabins). Reservations cancelled 30-60 days  prior to arrival receive 50%  refund. Cancellation 30 days or less no refund. Cancellation to move reservation to a later date within these guidelines are still subject to fees/policies. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND TRAVEL INSURANCE AS WE ABIDE BY THSES POLICIES STRICTLY. WE HAVE COMPASSION FOR THOSE WHO HAVE TO CANCEL FOR UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT WE DO NOT WAVER FROM THE POLICIES LISTED HERE. INSURANCE WILL COVER YOUR TRAVEL EXPENSES IN AN EMERGENCY OR IF YOU NEED TO CANCEL OUTSIDE OF THE REFUND PERIMETERS.

COVID-19 cancellations
Unless there is a state wide stay at home order issued by Governor Dewine we will not be issuing refunds for cancelations that are COVID-19 related.

Power outages, no cell signal, satellite outages, or other inconveniences out if our control will not be subject to refunds. Guest can choose to stay or check out early at their own discretion.

Please do not assume that your reservation has been cancelled until you receive confirmation from us by phone or e-mail. It is your responsibility to make sure that we have received your request for a cancellation.  The service fee is non refundable. ONLY the person who made the reservation can cancel the reservation.

Damages
We reserve the right to charge your credit card for any damages or excessive cleaning required after your stay. If you notice any damage on arrival, please let us know right away to avoid damage charges to your credit card on your departure.

Weather/Driving Conditions
Our cabins are available for rental all year, so Winter weather may be a factor during your stay. We suggest the use of four-wheel drive vehicles in the case of inclement Winter weather. The terrain in this general area is winding and hilly, but the roads are very well maintained in the Winter. We routinely maintain our driveway to keep it in good condition, but it can be slippery at times during inclement Winter weather. Two-wheel drive vehicles will have no problem accessing our cabins in fine weather, but if inclement Winter weather is in the forecast for your booked dates, we do recommend you strongly consider bringing a four-wheel drive vehicle. We do not give refunds due to inclement weather.

Amenities
Sometimes hot tubs, appliances, electric outages, satellite outages  etc. can occur. We always service and restore  these amenities or report outages as soon as possible, but we cannot make refunds for time without these items. In addition, loss of electricity, water, or other Acts of God outside of our control will not result in a refund. Due to servicing, hot tubs may sometimes need several hours to fully heat the water. They may not be ready for use immediately if you arrive on the early side of our 3-6 p.m. “arrival” time. Please respect our policies/guidelines regarding the use of our cabins and the amenities/appliances within. That will ensure that everything continues running well and that we can maintain reasonable rental prices.

Smoking
Smoking is absolutely forbidden inside the cabins. If you smoke inside the cabins, you will be subject to a $100 charge. You are welcome, however, to smoke outside or on the decks/porches.

Illegal Drugs
Use of illegal drugs is absolutely forbidden inside the cabins. If any evidence is found of drug use on the premises, you will be subject to a $250 fee and a report will be sent to the local authorities.

Pets
We love animals, but unfortunately we cannot allow pets on the cabin property premises. Evidence of pets or fur inside the cabin will result in extra cleaning of $60/ hour and loss of security deposit. We advertise as allergy friendly & need to maintain cleanliness for these guest. If we find our guest have pets inside or around the cabins you will be asked to leave immediately or find a kennel for your pet during your stay.
