A 25% non-refundable reservation deposit is required and will be applied to the total amount due. The final payment is due 60 days before your arrival date and is non-refundable at that point. The final payment will be billed to your credit card on file unless other payment arrangements have been made. Please note if the 60-day final payment falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a holiday it may be charged the last business day prior to your final payment date.

Confirmation: You will receive your reservation confirmation via email. Should you prefer another method, please let us know. We know that mistakes can happen, so please be sure that you verify the accuracy of the reservation when you receive your confirmation. Any errors must be directed to Red River Real Estate within 3 days of booking. After 3 days then the reservation information will be considered correct and no changes will be made. Any changes to your reservation after 3 days are made at Red River Real Estate’s discretion. Upon approval, a $50.00 change of property fee/change of date’s fee will be applied to your reservation.

*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. Each property is inspected prior to arrival and once again after your departure.

Late Arrivals: If you will be arriving after 5 PM, call us at 1-800-453-3498 to notify us of your late arrival and for our after-hours procedures.

Early Check-In: Due to our Quality Control Procedures that we implement with each property on the day of our guests’ arrival, there is no check in’s before 1 PM without prior arrangements being made with our Guest Relations Department. If these arrangements are made, there will be an additional charge of ½ nights rent added to your reservation. Our check-in time is 4 PM or later.
However, if we are able to accommodate you and your party between 1 PM and 4 PM we will make every effort to do so. *We do not guarantee to check in time at 4 PM during our busy Peak Seasons.

Day of Departure: Check-out time is on or before 10 AM on the final day of occupancy. Please lock up the house and return the keys to our office at the front desk or if you leave before 8 AM, keys can be placed in the drop box located on our front porch.

Late Check-Out: Please know that it is our desire to try and accommodate your needs when possible. If you need to have a late checkout, please schedule with our Guest Relations Department. There will be a late checkout fee of 1/2 nights rent added to your reservation.
