WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND PURCHASING TRAVEL INSURANCE through companies/websites such as travelsafe.com, travelinsurance.com or travelguard.com in the event you have to cancel unexpectedly. We are NOT affiliated with, nor do we endorse any insurance company. We do NOT sell travel insurance. Guests may purchase this insurance themselves for their protection from unexpected cancellation costs.

3- OCCUPANCY POLICIES: We are only able to welcome children 15 years and older. All rooms have a maximum occupancy of 2 persons. For Groups traveling together, we are unable to accommodate more than 6 guests or 3 rooms, regardless of whether the rooms are booked individually. In the event that anyone attempts to circumvent this policy, we will immediately cancel the bookings and refund the deposit amounts less a $100 cancellation fee for each room.

4- Lookout Point Lakeside Inn is a NON-SMOKING FACILITY. Smoking is allowed ONLY at the designated area at one end of the parking lot. This policy also covers e-cigarettes and any sort of vaping device. Guests choosing to not honor this non-smoking policy will be charged a $500 fee.

5- Dog Policy: Guests traveling with dogs are welcome in 3 of the guest rooms (on the first floor). Dogs of any size are welcome, and must be friendly, non-threatening to strangers, and have current vaccinations plus flea/tick prevention. Prior arrangement with the Inn is required. Pet charge is $35 per day per dog. Dogs are allowed in the guest room and grounds only, not in the common areas of the inn. Dogs should not be left in the room unattended unless crated. Our dog friendly rooms are: Ozark, Evening Shade and Paris. Unfortunately, due to some bad actors, for the health of our staff and guests, and to preserve our luxury décor, if a guest sneaks a dog into the guest room without having notified us, we will charge you the pet fee of $35 per dog per night, plus a $250 cleaning fee as we were unable to make the room suitable for a pet to stay in prior to check-in. If a guest sneaks a dog into a non-pet friendly room, the guest will be evicted immediately with no refund for any additional room nights. PLEASE follow our generous and friendly pet policies. We love our four-legged guests!
