Policies, Guest Terms, and Conditions

Property Representations

By agreeing to stay and securing a reservation, you acknowledge Cypress Creek Cottages and/or any of its booking and reservation affiliates has accurately represented the property to be rented through pictures on our website or by pictures emailed/faxed to you.

Credit Card Authorization

To secure your reservation, you authorize PAMABA Bears, LLC, doing business as Cypress Creek Cottages, to charge your credit card for all fees associated with your stay at the time of booking. You also acknowledge that additional charges are authorized for damages, for missing items, and/or for products and/or services not anticipated at the time of booking but which are provided during your stay.

Cancellations and Refund Policy

COVID-19 / Coronavirus Cancellations

Effective March 22, 2020 and until further notice, our cancellation policy is:

• You may suspend your reservation with a minimum of three days notice for non-holiday, 15 days notice for holiday, prior to your scheduled arrival date.
• A reservation suspension is a full store credit that never expires and can be used for a future stay of your choosing.
• The suspended reservation does not incur a cancellation fee.
• Store credits obtained through your reservation suspension can also be converted to gift certificates and/or transferred to family and friends.
• Cash and/or credit card refunds cannot be issued.

HOW TO SUSPEND

Email us at cancellation@cypresscreekcottages.com or call us at 512-847-5950 during our office hours – 9 AM to 9 PM Central Standard Time.

WHY WE HAVE A SUSPENSION POLICY

Unlike chain hotels with a large supply of units, we have a very limited supply. We guarantee our reservations fully and never overbook, so when you reserve with us, we take your cottage completely offline. This practice guarantees your reservation, yet it exposes us to vacancies and lost revenue. A policy that is time sensitive allows us the opportunity to re-book when suspensions are received.

Early Departures

Early departures, defined as concluding your stay before the reservation end date, are not eligible for refund, suspension, or any type of credit.

Guest Representations and Point of Contact

• If the number of guests staying at the rented cottage exceeds the number of guests specified in the original reservation, a per person fee for the number of guests in excess of the original reservation will be charged to the credit card on file.
• If the number of pets staying at the rented property exceeds the number of pets specified in the original reservation, a per pet fee for the number of pets in excess of the original reservation will be charged to the credit card on file.
• The guest who paid for the reservation will be the sole point of contact and accountable person to Cypress Creek Cottages or its affiliates for all billing issues, problems, damages, and/or issues concerning the property rented.

Problem Resolution

• In the event of a problem with the property or the amenities, contact Cypress Creek Cottages and/or its affiliates immediately at 512-847-5950 to report the situation and nature of the problem. If the problem is corrected within a reasonable period of time, i.e. 24 hours, the guest is responsible for payment of the rented property in its entirety.
• If a repair or reasonable solution to address a problem is not completed within 24 hours of the problem being reported, a rental credit may be issued in the form of a “Store Credit” which can be used by you within 90 days of the original reservation to offset the cost of a future stay. Store Credit eligibility is determined exclusively by Cypress Creek Cottage management on a case-by-case basis.
