FAQS

Check in is 4pm or later. Please do not show up early (unless authorized by Vacay Whitefish). An early 2pm check-in may be available for an additional $25. If interested please text or email us 2 days prior to your arrival so we can check our housekeeping schedule. Please understand that there is no guarantee that our schedule will accommodate your early check in request.

Guests much check out on their final day by 10am or earlier. Unapproved late check outs can result in extra charges to the guest.

You can head directly to your property. For most properties, Vacay Whitefish utilizes a convenient keypad lock system that allows you to enter your rental using a personalized access code, as opposed to having to pick up a key and worrying about keeping track of it during your stay and returning it afterward. This also saves you the trouble of coming to a check-in center beforehand. Our staff is always only a phone call/text/email away if questions arise. Call or text 406.730.3060

When you book, 1/2 of your total reservation amount is charged as a non-refundable payment to secure your rental. 60 days before your arrival, the remaining amount is due and becomes non-refundable if you need to cancel for any reason (see travel insurance above for exceptions). At this time, the credit card we have on file will be automatically charged for the balance.

No smoking and no pets (unless specifically designated as pet-friendly) are allowed in the rentals. No parties where more than the maximum number of people the property sleeps are allowed in the rental at any time. As in your own home, renters are of course subject to citations for noise violations, etc, handed down by public officials. Remember you are staying as a guest in someone's home, where much investment has been made to make your stay enjoyable; please treat all private property with the respect it deserves. Make sure you understand exactly how many vehicles can park at the property you're renting. It's clearly listed in your check-in instructions. As a security measure, most parking areas have a security camera.

When you book direct with Vacay Whitefish you avoid paying service fees that traditional listing channels, like Airbnb, charge.

In addition, we offer exclusive discounts from local businesses, available only to Vacay Whitefish guests. Vacay Whitefish can help you plan and save on your entire vacation experience, not only the rental itself. We also offer last-minute booking specials.
