A: Firm cancellation policy: To receive a full refund, guests must cancel at least 30 days before check-in. Guests can also get a full refund within 48 hours of booking if the cancellation occurs at least 14 days before check-in.

Q: Why do I have to go through additional guest screening?
A: For VRBO and direct book guests, we use a third-party to screen my identity and check criminal databases to confirm my reservation. Complete terms regarding the guest screening can be provided by the property manager. You may receive an email to complete your screening. Please check your spam inbox for this email and contact the property manager if you have any questions. Process is optional for Airbnb guests.
Q: Why do you charge an extra guest fee?
A: Instead of thinking of it as a fee, think about it as we're offering discounted rates for smaller groups. We add on a small rate increase for parties over 8, with a maximum of 13 guests, to maintain affordability for smaller groups while accommodating larger ones. This pricing structure ensures that smaller groups can enjoy Underwood Hideaway at a more accessible rate, while the additional fees for larger groups help cover the extra costs associated with increased usage of amenities and utilities. This way, we can provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all our guests.
