Guest Policies

At The Jeremiah Mason House Bed & Breakfast, we aim to provide our guests with a comfortable and memorable stay. To ensure a pleasant experience for everyone, please take a moment to review our policies and guidelines.

Cancellation Policy

We understand that sometimes life throws you a curve ball, but for a small Inn like this, I have a 14 days (minimally) prior to reservation check in, or you are responsible for the full reservation. We are Not responsible for canceled flights, last minute sicknesses or even COVID. I STRONGLY encourage folks to look into travel insurance for your full coverage on schedule changes/illnesses last minute. There will be a $35.00 charge if your credit card has already been charged your deposit to cover fee's. I am a Small Bed and Breakfast and last minute cancellations are detrimental to my business. Certain other occasions during which we may have had to turn potential guests away because there is no room at the Inn.

Large Group reservations that book the whole BNB have a 60 day cancellation policy

Reservation bookings: I require at least a 12 hour heads up for bookings. ESPECIALLY in the wintertime.

Wedding/Party/Large Room Bookings

For all Gatherings where large quantities of rooms are being booked: There is a 50% non-refundable cancellation fee if bookings are canceled in less than 60 days prior to check-in date. If separate parties pay for rooms, this still applies for special discounts etc, have already been applied for said event.

Auto-Collect

Payment for retail items and gift certificates is collected at the time of purchase.

Credit Card Security

Your credit card information is stored and processed securely.

Children

We love to have children of all ages visit, but please note they must be well behaved. No running, jumping or loud banging that may disrupt the other guests. Please do advise us no less than 24 hours in advance if special preparations are needed to accommodate your children. Due to the high energy of toddlers, they are no longer able to stay in the INN itself, however, If you have children that are of toddler age, I suggest that you rent the Studio Apartment for this is the best choice for a very active toddler. Children over the age of 13 shall be entered as adults.

Smoking

For the comfort and safety of all, we are a non-smoking facility. We do have seating areas and butt receptacles around the grounds; please feel free to use them. Please be aware that if we find that you have smoked in your guest room, we will charge your credit card $300 or more depending if I need to get it professionally cleaned. This includes any and all forms of smoke/vape etc.

Pets

We do love pets, but realize that there may be guests with allergies or other issues with allowing dogs and cats to stay in the BNB. For this reason, we no longer allow Pet's to stay in the Inn. I Am now renting one of my Studio Apartments that will be the only available place for a 20 pound or under dog( no cats at all), Quantity (1) that must be on leash at all times, not left alone in the apartment at all, and all waste must be picked up. If a pet is allowed on the furniture there will be an extra fee to remove hair from the furniture or linens. You must pay a $25 pet fee, (per night) when bringing the (1) dog.

Deposit

Deposits are required for phone and online reservations of 50% or the equivalent of (1) night of your stay. Credit Card needs to be collected at time of booking if you choose to pay cash or check.

Payment Methods

We accept Mastercard, Visa and Discover, as well as cash or checks.

Sunday - Saturday : 3 - 7.00 P.M. INSEASON, 5pm in the winter time. (for 1pm check in there is an additional $50 fee, for 2pm check in there is a $25.00 check in fee). There is no check in prior to 1pm. Any Arrivals after 7pm are self check in - which means you must have the door code prior to arriving.

We are happy to have you stay at the Jeremiah Mason House while you are visiting your family and friends in the area, however, our parking is extremely limited! Please have all family and friends find parking on the street while they are visiting or eating at the restaurant across the street so other patrons of the B&B may find parking during their stay.

(Spilling of drinks, wine, lotion/creams, broken glass or beds, etc.) Please do not eat hot foods, pizza, etc. in your guestroom as grease or heat can damage duvets, linens and furniture to which you will be responsible for.
