All cancellation requests must be received via email- we will not process cancellation requests over the phone. (This is so both parties have a record of the transaction) We will issue a 100% refund up to 14 days prior to your arrival, minus a $25 processing fee. Within 14 days, you are responsible for the full cost of the reservation, less any part that can be rebooked. Please email or call us after your checkout date to see if we were able to rebook the unit. Should you need to cancel, please contact us as soon as possible. We will make every effort to rebook the unit. Please note: if you booked through a third party (Expedia, booking.com, airbnb, VRBO, Homeaway, etc, their policies supersede ours)
CHECK-IN. We operate on a self check-in basis. There are two doors you will need codes for- the outside door, and the door to your specific apartment. (Exception is the Seahorse Cottage- you only need one code). The codes will be emailed to you 14 days prior to your arrival, and again at 3 days before you check-in. If you are traveling, and will not have access to your email, please let us know when you make your reservation, so we can arrange an alternate way to send you the codes. Check-in time is after 4:00 p.m. on the Check-In Day. Please call in advance to arrange a specific check-in time if needed. Reasonable check-in requests can be accommodated, depending on circumstances.
CHECK-OUT. Check-out must be complete and the premises vacated by 11:00 a.m. on Check-Out Day to allow time to prepare for the next scheduled guests. We can occasionally accommodate reasonable late check-out requests (depending on how many rooms we have to turn over that day). You must ask to stay later by texting us at (907) 491-0473 or (907) 422-7125. We have a $20 per hour late check-out fee, which will be charged the day you are scheduled to leave.

Sauerdough Lodging is represented as a pet free rental inside and out, and we cannot make exceptions for fish, reptiles, dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, mice, or any living things other than Guests.
