Policies & Guidelines

A 50% deposit for your stay is required to confirm your reservation with us. For one-night weekday reservations in the Cottage Suites full payment is required in advance.

Deposits made for the months of June, July and August, holiday, specialty weekends, and NH Motorcycle week are nonrefundable, unless the rental can be booked for an equal number of canceled days. The more notice we have to resell the rental, the more likely a deposit will be returned less a $30 processing fee. Deposits made for all other times of the year may be refundable, provided we are notified 30 days before scheduled arrival.

Cancellation requests must be made in writing through email at cottageplace@gmail.com. If a reservation is canceled with less than 30 days notice, the entire deposit may be forfeited. The full rate will be charged if guests do not arrive, arrive after the reserved date, or depart before the final date of guaranteed reservations. All deposits are credited to the last night(s) of reserved time and will be forfeited in case of early departure.

Personal checks preferred; Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express are accepted.

There is a $30.00 charge for returned checks.

Cottage Suite weekend bookings have a 2 night minimum requirement and a 3 night minimum during peak season, May 21st through November 2nd and holiday weekends.

Cottage Bookings have a 2 night minimum requirement and a 3 night minimum during peak season, May 21st through November 2nd and holiday weekends.

Check in time is 3pm and check out time is 11am. Late check-out must be arranged in advance, and is subject to availability; we reserve the right to attach discretionary fees to unapproved late check-outs.
Checking out after 1pm will incur the full cost of the room for the following night as we will not have time to reset.

Sleeping capacity (determined by number of beds) cannot be exceeded.

All Reservations must have a valid credit card on file before check in.

There is a day time guest fee of $25.00 per person for visitors and they must register with our front office – day visitors are not allowed to bring pets.

A one time $25.00 Amenity Fee will be added to your stay for any bookings from Memorial day 2024 onward . This fee covers all the amenities included with our property, such as the unlimited use of our beach, in room amenities, WIFI, and parking. Use of kayaks and canoe sign up is required through the front desk.

All rooms are considered to be smoke-free. Smoking of any kind and lighting candles indoors are strictly prohibited. A fee of $250 will be charged to your credit card if evidence of either is discovered. Smoking is never allowed inside our rentals or on the porches of the main building. Please ask our front desk if you have any questions on designated smoking areas. We ask that smokers do not throw cigarette butts on our grounds; please use sand filled receptacles provided.

We ask that, during your stay, you take care of your rental as you would your home. We provide cleaning supplies and there is a dumpster on the property. Please leave your rental with clean dishes and free of trash.

We have limited designated dock space available for our guests. It is on a first come first serve basis, a reservation is required and we highly recommended to do so in advance. Our rates are currently $2ft per boat per day of your stay.

Indoor Fireplaces are to only be used during the fall and winter months (October-March). If evidence of fireplace use outside of October-March is discovered, a $250 fee will be charged.

Fireworks are not allowed anywhere on the property including the beach. The safety of all of our guests is paramount. Not only is this a NH State Law, but we feel fireworks are a hazard to our cottages, your vacationing neighbors, boats on our dock and wildlife.

There is no lifeguard on duty at the Lake. Use of the lake including swimming and use of the docks are at your own risk.

The use of the playground is at your own risk. Children under 10 years must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

If you would like to host a wedding party or event, please contact a manager to discuss in detail.

Thank you in advance for understanding that most properties do not allow dogs because of the liability they pose. We feel strongly that your dog should be part of your vacation. The pet fee offsets our cost and covers the additional cleaning costs. Your well-behaved dog is allowed anywhere on the property including our beach. There is a $30 per dog, per night fee. Only well mannered, friendly dogs please.

All poop must be scooped at the time of deposit and placed immediately in the dumpster. Poop bags are available at the office. Dogs must be leashed at all times/under your complete control. Dogs may not be left unattended for long periods of time (inside or outside). A dog left unattended that barks continually
will be asked to leave.

Dogs may not be tied to any Cottage Place property (porch railings, picnic tables, Adirondack chairs, play area, etc).

Be considerate of all other guests. If there is a problem with a dog, we will recommend our very well-respected local kennel for the remainder of your stay.

Guests who do not disclose their pets will be charged a $250 cleaning fee.
