Each reservation is charged a non-refundable fee of $60 for a Damage Protection Waiver. This waiver is designed to protect you from charges due to accidental damage only. The DPF can provide up to $500.00 to repair accidental damages (beyond normal wear and tear). If any damages surpass $500.00, additional charges will be applied to the credit card on file and written documentation will be sent to the Guest(s) of record. If damages are determined to be caused by the willful misconduct, misuse, or pets; the Damage Protection Waiver will be voided on the grounds of an intentional act(s), gross negligence, willful and wanton conduct by Guest(s) or Licensee of Guest(s), or visitor. These occurrences will result in the Guest(s) credit card on file being charged in full for any damages and management fees. The waiver does not cover any additional management fees or fines. All accidental damage must be reported to the Georgia Mountain Cabin Rentals office before guest departure to qualify for protection.

No, A guest MUST REPORT any damage to the property during their stay to qualify for full coverage. If the damage is discovered by our Property Care team after departure the DPF waiver can be denied. Please report any damage if it occurs. If it denied, then the guest will be responsible for any damage charges.

For cabins with wood burning indoor fireplaces, firewood is provided. The fireplaces do not have a gas starter so, if you are not proficient at starting a fire without one, you might want to bring small "Duraflame" type logs or "Fire Starters". Firewood is provided only for wood burning fireplaces. Firewood is not provided for fire pits and outdoor fireplaces. You may not cut wood surrounding the properties but small bundles of wood can be purchased at the local gas stations and grocery stores. Absolutely no liquid accelerant is allowed! These are very dangerous to you and our property. Your full deposit will be kept if one is used!

Any of our North Georgia Mountain Cabin Rentals that have wood burning fireplaces inside the house will have firewood supplied at the cabin. For cabins that have fire pits outside, you may need to get firewood and take yourself. There are several places in Blue Ridge, GA that you can get firewood in bundles. Please ask us and we can help direct you.
