If you book within 30 days of your arrival (75 days for Christmas and New Year’s bookings) the full cost of your stay will be charged at the time of reservation. You maybe asked for pre-authorization of $500.00 for a security deposit or High Country Properties reserves the right to hold a credit card number to cover the cost of any damages to the property due to negligence of the guest.
