Things To Note

Melissa Barnes, host of Nature's Loft

Welcome from Melissa Barnes, your host. Before your stay, please review these important rental requirements and policies so you arrive prepared. We maintain high standards for our properties and ask our guests to do the same.

Rental Agreement and Deposits

  • We require all guests to sign a rental agreement that acknowledges our house rules and explains our cancellation policies.

  • A fully refundable security damage deposit is required: $200–$300 depending on the rental, or $600 for our retreat properties. The deposit is held on your card at the time of booking, placed 48 hours before check-in, and released 48 hours after check-out, provided no major damage has occurred. Normal wear and tear is not considered damage. If something breaks or stops working, please notify us immediately. We understand accidents happen.

House Rules

  • Our properties are smoke-free.

  • We are not pet-friendly. We cannot risk damage from pets or dander that may trigger allergic reactions.

Cancellation Policy

  • 100% refund if cancelled 30 days before check-in

  • 50% refund if cancelled 14 days before check-in

  • No refund if cancelled within 14 days of check-in

Before You Arrive

At the time of booking, you'll receive a house manual with everything you need to know about the property and how to check yourself in. We recommend downloading it to your phone. Our properties have limited to no cell service, but WIFI and WIFI calling are available.

Road Conditions and Vehicle Recommendations

Our remote location is one of the beautiful aspects of our properties. We recommend arriving in a truck or SUV. While guests have arrived in cars, it is not advisable due to road conditions:

  • Nature's Loft: gravel road that can be rough at times

  • The Creek Cabins at Brush Creek: gravel road

  • Mudita: mostly highway with a steep gravel driveway

Questions or Special Arrangements

If you need to arrange installment payments for your booking or have any questions about our properties, please contact us. Thank you. We appreciate our guests very much.
