Policies

Cancellations

  • All cancellations are subject to a non-refundable $25.00 processing fee per room. We will gladly provide you with a 100% refund on a cancellation made within 5 days of your confirmed arrival date, minus this fee. After 5 days, no refunds will be given.

  • No refunds are provided for late arrivals, early departures, or no shows.

  • Ellijay River House reserves the right to cancel your reservation due to acts of God, such as sudden natural disasters, or if emergency house maintenance is needed.  A 100% refund will be given for unused days.
     

Payment for confirmed reservations

  • Your confirmed reservation must be guaranteed with a valid credit card - Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover and you authorize the Ellijay River House to charge this credit card (given via phone or online reservation).  

  • If reservations are made within 30 days of arrival, you will be charged 100% of the full rental amount, plus taxes, to confirm your reservation.  

  • If reservations are made more than 30 days out from your arrival date, you will be charged 50% of the full rental amount, plus taxes.  The remaining 50% will be automatically charged to your credit card 30 days prior to your arrival date.  No reservations will be held on declined credit cards.

  • We accept cash and credit cards for any extra charges incurred when at the Bed and Breakfast.
     

Keys and front door access code

  • Upon check-in, you will receive a private code to gain access to the front door during your stay.  We ask that you not share this code with anyone.  The code will expire on your check-out date. Also, for your security and privacy, you will receive one key for use with both your bedroom and private bathroom.  This key must be returned upon check-out.  If not, there will be a $50 re-keying charge applied to your credit card.
