The Bidwell House B&B Inn Policies:

        ~ Reservations can be made directly through our website or via phone any day. First-night deposit plus lodging tax is required to guarantee your reservation and will be charged at the time of booking. The remainder of the balance is due at check-in and can be paid by credit card or cash. If booking reservation less than 7 days before arrival, the entire reservation amount will be charged. Guests electing self check-in or arriving outside of the normal check-in hours will have the remaining balance charged to the credit card on file automatically. We do not accept any third party gift certificates or gift cards.

        ~ Check-in time is 3-6:00 p.m.; Check-out time is before 11:00 a.m. Self check-in arrangements can be made in advance for late arrivals. It is rare that we can accommodate an early check-in, but we are always happy to store baggage. Please call to make these arrangements in advance. 

        ~ Due to our small size, cancellations affect us significantly and leave us little time to refill the space you have left. For most reservations booked directly through our website or via phone, cancellation notice is required 7 days prior to arrival date. With this advance notice, we will refund your credit card deposit minus a $25 cancellation fee, per room reserved. Reservations canceled less than 7 days prior to your arrival date will be charged in full, unless the room(s) is re-booked by another party. We will make every effort to re-book your room(s) and will refund any room(s) we are able to re-book minus a $25 cancellation fee per room reserved. 30 days cancellation notice is required for certain holidays, special events (including individual room reservation for group events, weddings, reunions & retreats) and group reservations (2 or more rooms). 

        We do not give refunds in the event of unforeseen changes to travel plans, personal sickness or injury, family emergencies, inclement weather or natural disasters; nor do we give refunds on unused meals, late arrivals or early departures. We highly encourage guests to consider purchasing trip insurance in the event an emergency arises that impedes your travel plans. A visit to InsureMyTrip.com to compare affordable options is well worth your travel investment. All canceled reservations, regardless of notice or reason, will be charged a $25 minimum cancellation fee. Any changes in the reservation or cancellation must be made in writing (e-mail or certified letter) and must be confirmed by The Bidwell House in writing (e-mail). The reservation is not changed or canceled until this written notice is send by The Bidwell House.

        If the reservation is made through a third-party website such as Booking.com, Expedia, BedandBreakfast.com, or Airbnb, cancellation policies may differ from our standard cancellation policies. Any reservation made on a third-party website must be canceled through the third-party website under their cancellation policy.

        ~ We suggest the Stover Cottage or Bidwell Suite for families with children. If you are traveling with children under 10, please inquire at the time of reservation whether the accommodations available are suitable for families with children, to ensure we are able to meet your needs and those of the other guests. Please note that we cannot accommodate children at all in some of our rooms; booking room other than Stover Cottage for family with children without consulting with the Inn might resolve in cancellation of your reservation with full payment required.

        ~ We wish to provide our guest with a clean and fresh environment. Those who smoke or vape must do so outside at designated area. A $250 cleaning fee plus any additional related cost will be charged for smoking or vaping indoors.

        ~ We're sorry; we cannot accommodate pets in our rooms. A $250 cleaning fee plus any additional related cost will be charged for pets in the room. One well behaved pet is allowed in Stover Cottage with $20/night fee and signed waiver on file.

        ~ The Bidwell House B&B Inn room rates: $175-$385 per night. 2-night minimum stay is required for all summer weekends; 3-night minimum stay is required for certain holidays and special events. Seasonal rates may vary. Rates are based on double occupancy (Stover Cottage and Bidwell Suite rate is based on quad occupancy).
