Reservations are secured by deposits paid at the time the reservation is made. Deposits will be equal to 50% of the total charges for the reservation. Reservations without timely deposits will be canceled without notice. Your final payment will automatically be taken 7 (seven) days prior to your arrival date. (we accept all major credit cards).
Cancellation Policy
Should a reservation be canceled prior to 30 days of arrival, your deposit, less than a $150 processing fee, will be refunded. Once you are within the 30 day cancellation time frame, cabin changes and date changes (including dropping nights) are not allowed and the deposit is non-refundable. Our cancellation policy is strictly enforced for circumstances beyond both the company’s and guest’s control, including wildfires, smoke, air quality issues, adverse weather, guest health or family emergencies, challenging road conditions, power outages, government shutdowns, and canceled flights.
Pets Policy
Pets are allowed in pet-specific homes only. Only 2 pets per cabin are allowed. Please specify your need for a pet unit when you make your reservation. There is a $60 charge per pet per night. Pets are not allowed in non-pet homes. Pets may not be left alone in a cabin for more than 2 hours daily. The damage protection plan does not cover cabin damages caused by your pets, and you will be responsible for the entire damage repair cost. Pets have to be leashed at all times and are not allowed on any park trails except the paved ones. There is a kennel in Yosemite Valley. Guests can walk around Wawona with leashed pets, and there are hiking trails in that vicinity where you can hike with your leashed pets. Pet "house rules" include:
1. Bring something for your pet to sleep on. (a favorite blanket, towel, or bed.)
2. Pets are not allowed on the furniture. Please do not let pets rub against furniture.
3. Wet animals are NOT allowed in homes. If your pet took a swim in the river please wash off the excess sand and keep the pet outside until completely dry.
4. Remember that your pet is in a strange home. Do not leave pets unattended for long periods of time. Do not leave him unattended at all if he barks, chews, etc. when left alone.
5. Your neighbor is on vacation too, be considerate of others and do not disturb the peacefulness of the park. You will be held responsible for any damage done by your pet, and may be asked to vacate immediately if these guidelines are not followed.
