*State and local tax rates are subject to change. Taxes are based on the date of check-in and not the date of booking. Since we do not always get a forewarning on rate changes, this can cause a balance on your reservation which will be due by the time of check-in.
Day of Arrival: Check-in is 4 PM and later on the first day of occupancy. However, we cannot guarantee a 4 PM check-in during our busy peak seasons. You will need to check-in at our office at 420 E Main St, where we will go over our house policies and you’ll receive keys.
*DO NOT attempt to access your vacation rental before being notified that the unit is ready for check-in. We also request that you do not park outside of the unit while you wait as it impedes our ability to prepare the unit for check-in. Early access without manager approval will result in a penalty charge of $200 to your card on file.
*All keys obtained from Red River Real Estate must be returned or a $20.00 replacement fee will be charged per key.
*A valid credit card must be provided at the time of check-in to hold for any damages beyond what our damage protection insurance covers (please see Damage Protection Insurance paragraph for more information) or for missing property that may occur during your stay.
