Our Policies
Our goal at the Garden Gables Inn is to provide a high level of service and comfort for our guests throughout the entire process of exploring, reserving and enjoying your stay at the Inn. For that reason we have established the following policies, which hopefully will answer your questions about your upcoming stay. Please contact us and let us know about any questions you may have.

We maintain a smoke-free policy for the comfort of all guests**.  
The Inn welcomes children who are 13 and older. 
We regret we are not able to accommodate pets with the exception of service dogs.

Normal check-in is from 3pm-8pm.  Check-out time is 11 AM. We will do our best to accommodate a request for early check-in/late check-out, but cannot guarantee this option will be available, especially during the summer season.  

A full country breakfast is included. Seating, at your convenience, is from 7:30–9:45 AM. Should you have special dietary needs, we will do our best to accommodate them if we are notified in advance of your stay. Should you need an earlier or later breakfast service, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. You may invite others not staying at the Inn to join you for breakfast, space permitting. There will be a charge of $30 per person. Please check with the Innkeeper to make a reservation and confirm that space is available.

Minimum stay requirements—We generally have a 2-night minimum stay required.  This will be specified at the time of booking.

Official rates are published on our website, which may vary from time-to-time based on pricing policies in effect at the time of viewing. The proper rate for your reservation is the rate quoted on your confirmation. If you are booking a stay using a published "3rd night free" special offer—the free night will be the lowest priced of the three night stay; the discount for this package will be 33% if all three nights have the same rate, otherwise it will be lower discount, reflecting the price difference.

Complimentary offerings at Hilltop Orchards JMASH Cidery and Furnace Brook Winery are available during appropriate seasons. Guests will be provided with a complimentary bag to pick-your-own apples in the orchard during apple-picking season. Cider and wine-tasting is available for those 21 years of age and over. Use of hiking and cross-country snowshoe trails subject to signing use waiver, available at the Orchard. Rental of equipment is available, but not included. Call the Inn for further details and availability.

Complimentary wifi/internet service— basic wifi/internet access is provided throughout the property. Due to inconsistencies in our wifi service provider we cannot guarantee the bandwidth/fidelity required for high-definition or streaming applications, such as video calls and movies, will always be available. Our Innkeeper can assist you should you need to schedule an important video call.

Pool - Our outdoor, heated pool is available daily, from 7 AM - 9 PM, from approximately early June through Labor Day, subject to weather conditions. Please call the Inn to confirm that the pool is open if you are staying near these opening/closing dates. Use of the pool is strictly at your own risk - no lifeguard is on duty. Parents are solely responsible for ensuring the safe conduct and use of the pool by their children.

Occupancy - All rates are for up to 2 persons, except Room 12, which is automatically quoted for the number of occupants specified, from 2-6. Smaller rooms cannot accommodate a cot, so please check with our innkeeper to ensure your room can accommodate an additional person.  For rooms where an additional person can be accommodated, there is a charge of $60 per night per person.

Taxes, Gratuities, Resort Charge—Published rates and service prices do not include taxes (11.7% State and Local Room Tax will be added to your room bill) or gratuities. For group reservations of 5 or more rooms, a 10% service fee will be added.
