General Rental Information

Thank you for choosing Goose Pond Colony as your vacation destination. We would like to take this opportunity to familiarize you with a few procedures.

Management will strive to comply with all reservation requests. However, a specific cottage, tiny cabin or lodge room cannot be absolutely guaranteed.

Maximum occupancy per cottage is 8 people including children. Maximum occupancy per lodge room is 4 people including children. Maximum occupancy per tiny cabin is 2 people including children. The rate will be based on persons 12 years and older. A violation of this rule will result in the forfeiture of your rental fees and you will be asked to leave.

Current Reservations

Once a reservation is made, we will email a lease agreement to you. You will need to return a signed copy of your lease along with an advance rent payment equal to one night’s rent per cottage or lodge room. Your deposit may be paid by check or credit card. If the deposit is paid with a credit card we will add an additional fee of 4% to the deposit. The signed lease and advanced rent payment must be returned to us within 14 days of the reservation date or the reservation will be automatically cancelled without notice. You will not receive a confirmation of your reservation until the lease agreement has been returned to us.

Please read the lease agreement carefully as it includes an explanation of charges. When making your deposit, please include the name the reservation is booked under along with the dates of stay.

All Reservations

We require a two night minimum on weekends and a 3 night minimum on holidays.

Rates and Taxes

All lodging is subject to a 14% lodging tax, a $10 resort fee and a lodging fee of $1 per cottage or room per night.

Final Balance

Payments to your reservation may be made at any time before your check-in date or final payment will be due at the time of check-in. All checks should include the name the reservation is under along with the dates of stay. Payments may also be made by credit card for an additional fee of 4% of the total amount being paid. For any group of more than 8, one person in the group will be required to collect the balance and pay at the time of check in. We will no longer accept multiple payments from groups of more than 8. In the case of a reservation being made by one person but the deposit being paid by several people, the reservation will still be considered a group of more than 8 and payment will be required from one person in the group only.

Last Minute Reservations and Payments

All reservations made less than 21 days to actual check-in require a credit card for a deposit. If time permits, you will receive a lease agreement with your confirmation that you will be required to sign and bring with you at check-in. If time does not permit, you will be asked to sign the lease agreement at the time of check-in.

Security Deposit

Each reservation will require a valid credit card on file for the security deposit of $125.

In this case, your deposit will be refunded less a $30 processing fee per cottage, tiny cabin or lodge room. If the reservation is cancelled less than 21 days prior to check-in, your deposit will be forfeited unless we rent the unit to another party in which case we will refund your deposit less a $30 processing fee per cottage, tiny cabin or lodge room.

In the event you need to transfer your reservation to another date, there will be a $30 processing fee charged per change made per cottage, tiny cabin or lodge room.
