Our resorts are designed for all guests to peacefully enjoy their stay.

All public areas close at 10p.m. and do not open again until 7a.m.

Pools, spas, and hot tubs are used at your own risk. Children and anyone requiring supervision must be supervised by a responsible and able-bodied adult at all times.

Combustibles are to be used at your own risk. Guests are responsible for ensuring that all fires are contained and completely extinguished after use.

The safety and security of our guests is our top priority. We strictly prohibit the use of firearms or any other projectile weapons on any of our properties.

Our properties are regularly treated by professional pest control and our staff takes preventative measures to keep pests out. However, as our properties are located in wooded areas, it is possible for guests to encounter insects and/or small woodland creatures like mice. If you do encounter an unwelcome pest inside your lodging, please contact our Guest Services team immediately so that our grounds team can address the problem as quickly as possible. We ask that guests help us prevent pests by keeping doors and window screens closed and maintaining proper cleanliness during their stay. By booking with us, you accept that encountering insects and woodland creatures is a possibility and that no refunds will be issued for such instances.

Timberroot is not liable for any interruptions to a guest’s stay that is caused by, but not limited to, weather, strike, riot, orders of public authorities, acts of other guests, any other acts of God, Force Majeure, pandemic, accident, or any other cause, except as outlined above.
