Can I cancel or change my existing reservation?
The time factor is critical in vacation rentals and your deposit will hold this rental off the market for a period of time. NO refunds will be made for canceled reservations unless White Eagle Resort is able to re-rent the accommodation for the same period of time for the same rental amount. If White Eagle Resort is able to re-rent the property at no loss to White Eagle Resort a full refund will be issued minus the nonrefundable $100.00 administrative fee, taxes, and any discounts or expenses required to re-rent the property. If White Eagle Resort is able re-rent the home for a portion of the cancelled stay, or for a reduced amount or portion of the original rental fee, the guest will be refunded for the re-rented days or the reduced amount only, minus the nonrefundable $100.00 administrative fee, taxes, and any discounts or expenses required to rent the property. White Eagle Resort does not make any representation or guarantee that White Eagle will be able to re-rent the property for what was originally paid by the guests. Guests covered under the travel insurance recommended by White Eagle, may be exempt from this loss if the reason for cancellation is covered under the policy. The travel insurance fee is non-refundable. If guest has to shorten their stay or change their unit after the final payment due date, normal cancellation penalties apply, whether travel insurance was purchased or not. If guest shortens their stay resulting in an early departure after they have checked in, no refunds will be provided for the nights not used. If a non-arrival, late arrival, early departure, cancellation or alteration results in a loss of revenue to White Eagle Resort, it will be charged. The loss can be avoided if the recommended travel insurance was purchased and the reason for cancellation is covered under the travel insurance policy. White Eagle Resort reserves the right to cancel any reservation subject to issuing a full refund. |

Should I reserve a boat before I arrive?
Yes, June-August availability is limited, and in the spring and fall we will have a boat available, but for the best options let us know in advance if you plan to rent a boat or pontoon. How do I know what boat rental is right for me/my group? We are happy to listen to your concerns and discuss the various boat options with you. Call 218-666-5500. A rule of thumb, if you have more than 4 people who want to fish at the same time, a pontoon would be the best option. |
