ACCOMMODATIONS
Each chalet is a privately owned dwelling with the Owner’s furnishings and neither the Agent nor the Owner will be responsible for providing any additional furnishings. Some owners have locked closets containing personal belongings. These are not included in the rental of the chalet. Should the chalet be undergoing any major repairs, or the Owner of the chalet elects to remove his property from our management, Mountain Laurel Chalets may substitute a comparable chalet at the original price if such a unit is open, or refund deposit. Agents or an authorized employee or repairman may enter the chalet during business hours for any purpose connected with repair, care, or maintenance of the chalet. No appliances, whirlpools, hot tubs, or heat/air systems are guaranteed, and there will be no refunds for failures. We try to keep these in as good working order as possible, and any failures will be fixed as quickly as possible after being reported. No refunds will be made for electrical outages or other acts of God. Under these circumstances, you may check out early, but if you stay, you will be charged full rate. Wood is available for purchase at the office and gas is provided for fireplaces from October 1st through February 28.

Dogs are the only allowed pets and must be registered with the office and weigh less than 30 lbs. The presence of any pets in a non pet-friendly home will incur an immediate cancelation of reservation with no refund as well as a $200 fee. Please do not sneak in your dogs thinking "they are the best dogs ever and so well behaved." These private homes are made avaiable to mutliple renters a year as PET FREE homes and should you decide not to follow that policy we will require an immediate cancellation of the reservation with no refund as well as an additional $200 fee. We take this policy very seriously and appreciate your cooperation.
