Terms & Conditions
Bryce Mountain Management & Maintenance LLC (d.b.a. Bryce Mountain Escapes)
Thanks for your business and we hope you enjoy your stay!  Please make sure you're comfortable with these terms; we strictly enforce them.

RESERVATIONS: All Reservations are subject to Bryce Mountain Escapes and Property Owner approval. Online rates are subject to change without notice. Should we have ANY issues with your reservation, we will contact you within 48 hours.

PROPERTY: Guest rents, for vacation purposes only, the furnished real property and improvements described in the property listing.

PAYMENT: Bryce Mountain Escapes requires Guests to pay in full at the time of reservation booking.  For reservations booked prior to 30 days to the check-in date, we accept payment via credit card, eCheck, or paper check mailed to our office at 2565 Orkney Grade, Mount Jackson, VA 22842. Please make checks payable to Bryce Mountain Escapes.  Reservations made within 30 days of the check-in date must be paid via credit card or eCheck. A 3% processing fee applies to all electronic payments.

SECURITY DEPOSIT: In lieu of security deposits, we purchase Accidental Rental Damage insurance for each booked reservation (see DAMAGE WAIVER below).  If covered damages exceed the Program's $1,500 coverage limit, or if the damages are of a nature not covered by the insurance program, we will charge Guest's credit card for the cost to restore the property to its original undamaged condition. We agree to provide documentation of the damage/loss, and Guest grants us consent to charge their credit card for uncovered or excess damages.

CANCELLATION:  We provide a full refund for cancellations made up to 30 days prior to the check-in date. Refunds for cancellations made within 30 days, but prior to five (5) days, of the check-in date depends on our ability to re-rent the same property during same time period for which the Guest has cancelled.  We limit such potential refunds to the lesser of the re-rental amount or the Guest's reservation amount, less a $150 cancellation fee.  Bryce Mountain Escapes does NOT issue refunds either for reservations cancelled within five (5) days of.the check-in date, or due to acts of nature such as: weather, road conditions, snow conditions, power outages or forest fires.

To help our Guests safeguard their pre-paid reservations against unforeseeable events, we partner with RentalGuardian® and InsureStaysTM. Given the strict cancellation/refund policy desired by our property owner-clients, we strongly encourage Guests to purchase optional travel insurance for a cost of 7%-10.8% of the reservation total (depending on level of coverage). Guests may purchase travel insurance at the time of booking or shortly thereafter. If Guest purchases travel insurance at the time of booking, it will show on the reservation breakdown.  To learn more about these travel insurance options, please read more here.

UNFORESEEN OCCURRENCES: Bryce Mountain Escapes does not assume liability for any loss, damage or inconvenience caused by, but not limited to, the following: weather conditions, natural disasters, pests, construction, acts of God, or other reasons beyond its control. Accordingly, Bryce Mountain Escapes does not provide refunds for such occurrences.  We highly recommend that Guests consider acquiring travel insurance as discussed in CANCELLATIONS above.

UNAVAILABILITY: For any reason beyond the control of the Property Owner, the property becomes unavailable, Bryce Mountain Escapes may substitute a comparable property or cancel this Agreement and refund in full all payments made by Guest.

OCCUPANCY: Only the paying Guest and their identified party members may occupy the property.  No unlawful activity or any other activity that constitutes a nuisance is permitted on the property. Approved Guests take full responsibility for all lost or broken items, and any damages to the property of any kind. Guest agrees to bear the cost to repair all damages that either exceed the Accidental Damage Program coverage limit or are not covered by the Accidental Damage Program.

CAPACITY RESTRICTIONS:  The Max Occupancy for a property is based on the sleeping capacity the beds provided.  For example, twin beds sleep 1 guest; double, queen and king beds sleep 2 guests each.. Extra guests beyond the Max Occupancy are not allowed without our advance written consent.  Often, extra sleeping capacity is not possible at certain properties.  Guests with occupants that exceed the Max Occupancy will be charged 10% of the nightly rental rate, per additional occupant.

We will make effort to repair items promptly, or provide Guest with an alternative comparable property if the inoperable item(s) materially impair the fit, form or function of the property.
