HONESTY and EXPECTATIONS:
At "The Drift Lodge", we want our guests to have a clear understanding of the distinctions between vacation rentals and hotels. While we diligently maintain our properties, wear and tear are inherent aspects of vacation rentals. Although we address issues promptly, the high volume of guests may result in occasional delays between stays. Any significant damage or serious concerns are prioritized and resolved before a guest's check-in, provided we are made aware of the issue.

PLEASE NOTE, OLDER, BUDGET FRIENDLY PROPERTY:
This property is a budget-friendly, older home that offers great value for guests looking for a simple and affordable stay. As an older property, it does show some signs of wear and tear, including limited or dated finishes and furnishings, which are reflected in the pricing.

While it may not have modern updates or luxury amenities, the home is basic and functional for a simple stay.

CLEANING:
Our dedicated cleaning team meticulously sanitizes and cleans each home. Unlike standard hotel rooms, homes entail a more detailed cleaning process due to their larger size. Despite our team's efforts to ensure optimal cleanliness, minor oversights may occur. For substantial errors, we are committed to rectifying the situation promptly. While we take pride in our cleaning standards, we ask for understanding that, as in any human endeavor, perfection is not always attainable, especially when minor details have no direct impact on your stay.

HOUSEHOLD ITEMS:
As private residences, it's important to recognize that household items may break or require repairs during your stay. While we understand the inconvenience this may pose to our guests, it's equally disruptive for us. Appliances such as water tanks, HVAC systems, dishwashers, and refrigerators may experience issues. We cannot guarantee immunity from such occurrences, but we pledge to address and resolve any situation swiftly. While we assure our commitment to guests' well-being, we're honest about the potential for unforeseen issues.

AMENITIES:
-WiFi included.
-Linens, towels, and basic amenities provided.
-Guests must purchase their own amenities when stock runs out.

-Rates/prices subject to change based on reservation adjustments.
-Guests may request to change booking dates up to 14 days before check-in, subject to availability and possible rate differences. Within 14 days, date changes are not guaranteed and may be treated as a cancellation.

OTHER DETAILS:

OUR COMMITMENT:
We strive to provide each guest with a 5-star experience, enabling them to truly enjoy their getaways. However, we acknowledge that achieving absolute perfection in a private residence may be unrealistic. If a flawless experience is your expectation, a vacation property rental might not align with your preferences. Our aim is to be transparent, manage expectations, and ensure a comfortable stay for all our valued guests.

We live in the city and are available 24/7 for your guest services.
