LODGING POLICIES
We know the policies are a lot to read, but it is in your best interest to do so.
The Ponderosa Ridge is an exclusive property where every guest reservation is both important and special to us.
If your travel plans change, we ask that you call us at least 7 (seven) days prior to your arrival date to cancel or move, if possible, your reservation at no extra cost. So that others may reserve that room.
If you need to move or cancel your reservation within 2 (two) days of the arrival date, there is a $100 charge; change of date/cancellation fee. No shows will be charged full price!
Full payment will be taken upon check-in, by the credit card you reserved the room on or by cash only. No checks will be accepted.
If you shorten your stay or check out early, please understand that we must ask you to take responsibility for your entire reservation. If we can re-book your room(s), a full or partial refund may be made.
Rates/policies are subject to change and vary during high impact periods and special requests.

_______ Damages: You are guests in our bed & breakfast. We ask that you please respect the inn and belongings in it. We request for make-up removal, that the guests utilize the black colored washcloths and the make-up towelettes supplied in each bath rather than the white washcloths. You wouldn't take a white towel from your friend’s house and use it to wipe off your make-up. A stained towel takes time to clean and most times the towel will not be savable.
If damages incurred to the bed & breakfast during your stay, i.e., shades, furnishings, or food in the hot tub, stained bed linens or towels, rugs, lost/missing items etc. will be charged to your credit card on file ~ the innkeeper determines the charges which are non-negotiable and might vary depending on the actions taken ~ i.e., the need of a plumber, dry cleaning, total replacement of an item, etc.
______Kitchen: Kitchen is NOT open to guests, yes that includes: Refrigerator/Freezer, Microwave, Stove and Oven. Plan accordingly. Which requires keeping your perishables in your own cooler.
