Once the signed copy is received we will proceed to process your reservation. Access details will only be given after confirmation is signed.
THE ONLY TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT GOVERN YOUR RENTAL WITH CARRAIG COTTAGES ARE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT ARE ON THIS PAGE AND THIS PAGE ONLY. ANY OTHER STATEMENTS ON ANY OTHER WEBSITE OR MEDIA, WHETHER OWNED BY US OR NOT, WHETHER WRITTEN BY US OR NOT, SHOULD NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE CONSTRUED AS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND CARRAIG COTTAGES LLC OR DOOR COUNTY STAY LLC.
If you do not talk to us or email us directly you do not have a reservation. If you do not sign our confirmation you will not get access. We are not responsible for, nor will we be held to, any guarantees made elsewhere. The only terms and conditions that govern any agreement with us arr on this page.
Lodging taxes to stay short term in Door County are 11%. 5.5% goes to the State of Wisconsin and 5.5% goes to the Door County Tourism Zone Commission. We are registered with both entities and are obligated to collect the tax. As of June 1st, 2019, VRBO will collect the State portion of this tax. They will not permit us to collect the DCTZ Tax on their site. Therefore, should you book through VRBO or some other OTA, we will have to charge the DCTZ Tax as a separate transaction. This is NOT a new tax. If you purchase more days or other products we will have to charge you 11% tax.
By agreeing to rent one of our properties you are entering into a short term rental agreement. This agreement will have a defined start time and date and defined end time and date. You will receive an email with an invoice attached that will confirm these details. The State of Wisconsin does not require rental agreements for leases of under one year to be in writing. Oral agreements are legal, binding and enforceable. By making a payment of any kind (consideration) you are agreeing that you have read, understood and agreed to our terms and conditions.
Each house, if rented weekly, is rented from 3pm on Friday to 10am the following Friday.
For rentals that are less than one week, the daily rate will be greater than the pro-rated weekly rate.
The responsible party to the contract will be the person that makes the reservation.
We expect you to leave the house as it was when you came.
50% of rental is due to secure reservation. We work on a first come, first served basis. The remaining 50% is due 30 days before your arrival.
We will email you an invoice that will have the details of your reservation. Please review this invoice thoroughly. There will be a link to this page on your invoice. Please review these terms and conditions carefully. Upon making any payment to us you are agreeing to a legal, binding and enforceable oral contract.
The laws of Door County and The State of Wisconsin will govern this contract
If you want to change your reservation to a different time, and that time is available, and we can find a replacement guest for your original reservation, we will do so for no additional charge.
If you want to cancel your reservation, you will be refunded only if we can find a replacement Guest for your time reserved. All payments, of any type, for any purpose, received by time of cancellation will be applied to towards your outstanding balance. If we can only resell a part of your reservation you will only receive a refund for the portion resold. There is a $250 processing fee for all cancellations. Credit card convenience charges, if charged, cannot be refunded.
You agree to disclose how many people will stay and visit the properties. Having undisclosed persons on or in the properties may result in immediate termination of your contract, forfeiture of monies paid and liability for any and all damages incurred. You agree that the posted maximum occupancy limit will not be exceeded. Exceeding this limit will result in eviction and forfeiture of all monies paid or owed. SHOULD THE COST TO RECTIFY EXCESSIVE USE AND OR DAMAGE EXCEED THE SECURITY DEPOSIT TAKEN, THE ADDITIONAL COST PLUS FEES WILL BE CHARGED TO THE RESPONSIBLE PARTIES CREDIT CARD ON FILE. (The primary reason for this is to cover our costs in the event of there being more guests than disclosed and or the number of guests exceeding house capacity and/or the hosting of unauthorized parties or events. Basically, if the house gets thrashed you will be charged all additional costs and fees.)
Returned check charge is $30.
