We know it’s not fun when you have to cancel a trip. Everyone feels bad. Just as we feel responsible for providing you with a great experience we also feel responsible to the many village businesses and artists, instructors and practitioners that provide the wonderful things we offer. When you cancel they lose income.

The Getaway cancellation fee compensates us for the time we’ve already spent setting up your trip.

Your cancellation request must be received in writing (e-mail is fine). Your fee will be promptly refunded, minus the cancellation fees. Your personalized quote will include notices of any vendor cancellation policies. By accepting the quote and authorizing us to book, you are accepting responsibility for the indicated cancellation fees.
** Missed appointments/workshops/activities are not refunded.

How does it work?

After you find a Getaway Package or an activity/activities that you are interested in, you let us know by clicking on the +Add button, then scroll to the bottom and click on the box that says “Go to Checkout”. At the Checkout page we ask you for:

  • Your contact information,
  • Number of guests in your party,
  • Dates you want to arrive and to depart,
  • Economy or deluxe,
  • Private or double occupancy accommodations,
  • Special needs,

If booking a Getaway Package the deposit is $25.00 (this is a per trip fee for the whole group.) The deposit is non refundable. The deposit compensates us for the time we are going to put in researching and preparing your quote. But the good news is the deposit goes towards your hosting fee when you book.

It is important to get back to us as soon as possible after you receive your quote with your decision and each group member’s e-mail or postal address, because availability can change until you are booked. We cannot be responsible for not completing reservations or securing quoted rates, if we do not receive necessary information for all group members in a timely fashion.

Once payments and bookings are complete, you will receive a detailed itinerary, instructions and directions.

If you want to make a change to your bookings after you’ve paid, there will be a Change Fee of $10.00 per activity plus vendor cancellation fees. We will tell you what the fee will be before each proposed change.

If you need to cancel your trip after you’ve paid, there will be a cancellation fee:
