The Leavenworth Lodge Rental Agreement
Please read this Rental Agreement for The Leavenworth Lodge (TLL) carefully. Making a reservation or submitting payment formally establishes a binding rental agreement, and Guest agrees to all terms and conditions herein. “Guest” refers to the Primary Renter and all other occupants. “Owner” refers to Nathan and Kendall Newell / The Leavenworth Lodge.
Reservation & payment
Full payment of rates, additional fees, and applicable tax is required to secure the reservation.
Cancellation policy
All reservations require full payment at the time of booking. This payment is a non-refundable deposit.
Owner strongly recommends that Guest purchases third-party travel insurance at the time of booking. Travel insurance can protect against many unforeseen circumstances (illness, travel delays, family emergencies, etc.) that are not covered under this Agreement. Guests are encouraged to review policy details carefully, including whether the policy offers “Cancel For Any Reason” coverage.
Examples of well-known travel insurance providers include Allianz Travel, Travel Guard (AIG), Travelex, Generali Global Assistance and World Nomads.
If Guest cancels:
- The reserved nights will be released and marked as available.
- If Owner is able to rebook those exact dates to another guest at the original rate (or higher), Owner will refund 90% of the amount paid. A 10% cancellation/administrative fee will be retained.
- If the dates are not rebooked, no refund will be issued.
- Owner will make reasonable efforts to rebook the dates but is not obligated to accept a lower rate in order to process a refund.
- If only some of the nights are rebooked, Guest will receive a pro-rated 90% refund on the rebooked nights only.
