Often Asked Questions:
- Do you require a minimum number of nights per stay?
Weekends require a two-night minimum stay and three-day weekends require…well, you know, a three-night minimum. Sunday night is not considered a weekend night and may be booked for a single night unless a holiday falls on that day or it is part of a three-day weekend. Holidays and special event weekends may require a longer stay or have a higher rate and longer cancellation period. Please call if you require a single night on a weekend as occasionally we are able to accommodate an exception. - Do you take a deposit when a room is reserved?
Yes. If the reservation is more than two weeks away (14 days), a one-night deposit is required. If you book within 14 days of your reservation, you will be charged the full amount in order to confirm your stay with us. - What if I need to cancel?
You should consider your reservation as final. We understand that events may occur beyond your control, but our B&B is small enough that even one cancellation makes an enormous difference. We do adhere to a strict cancellation policy. Rescheduling is considered a cancellation even if you immediately re-book for a future stay.We strongly advise you to use a credit card which offers trip interruption or cancellation insurance or to purchase trip insurance, which will usually run around $40-$50 for a two-night stay. The following are trip insurance companies (with whom we are in no way affiliated) travelprotect.com, insuremytrip.com, travelinsurance.com - Why can’t we cancel with 24 hours’ notice like we can at a hotel?
Unlike hotels and airlines, we won’t overbook at our small bed and breakfast. Imagine your disappointment if you showed up for your room and were told, “Sorry, we gave it to someone else because they arrived before you did. When you book your room and put down your deposit, we take that room out of our inventory and save it for you. - What if we have to shorten our stay?
When you book a room, we remove it from our inventory for the full duration of your reservation. If you leave earlier than anticipated, please understand you are still responsible for your full stay. - What if someone else books the room we had to cancel?
We will refund your deposit less the cancellation fee. We charge a cancellation fee to cover our credit card fees and labor spent preparing for your arrival. Even if we refund your deposit, we still have to pay the credit card fees and pay our staff. - What if it snows and the Maryland State Police announce a highway weather state of emergency?
In the event the State Police announce a highway weather state of emergency which prevents you from arriving for your reservation, a Lake Pointe Inn gift certificate will be issued to you.
