Policies

Black Sheep Inn has established the following policies as an important part of the successful management of our intimate, country inn, in order to provide the finest possible setting for your personal or business retreat. Your cancellation will affect us greatly.

• No candles are permitted.

• Food or beverage in guest rooms is prohibited, and we ask that when finished in common areas you clean up after yourselves, so that other guests may enjoy the space. Any damages to the Inn are the responsibility of the guests involved.

• Rooms may be assessed for damages and guests may be charged accordingly. Smoking within the Black Sheep Inn is considered as damage due to the expense incurred to remove the odor from fabrics, carpets, etc.

• Black Sheep Inn is not responsible for loss of any money or valuables.

• A 50% deposit of the total reserved stay, including tax, will be required to guarantee a reservation. This deposit must be made by credit card or receipt of funds within seven days to confirm reservation. Reservations not secured by a deposit will be cancelled.

• Deposits will be refunded if cancellation is received no less than 14 days prior to the first day of the reservation, less a $35 cancellation fee. However, if the reservation occurs on a weekend during the months of May through November, cancellation must be received no less than 21 days prior to the first day of the reservation.

• Cancellations are received with shorter notice, regardless of the reason; all deposits may be forfeited in the event the Inn is unable to re-book the room(s) for the duration of the cancellation period. Guests are financially responsible for the entire duration of their reservation. Changes will be treated the same as cancellations. No shows or less than the above notices will result in a full charge.

Eco-Policies

In an effort to perpetuate a lifestyle of conservation and consideration of our impact on the environment, the Black Sheep Inn has adopted several policies to address these issues.

• Water Conservation
  As most of us are not accustomed to changing our bed linens daily at home, we have adopted a similar philosophy here at the Inn. We strive to conserve water by extending the time frame in which we change bed linens from daily to twice weekly (for extended stay). If, for some reason, you would prefer fresh linens every day, we would be happy to accommodate this request for an additional fee
  Similarly, we will graciously restock your bathroom with fresh towels if you request. However, we encourage our guests’ participation in water conservation by hanging up wet towels to dry for use the next day.

• Energy Conservation
  It is our goal to provide you with the safest and most secure environment possible. You will always find sufficient lighting in all of the common areas, but you can greatly help us to achieve this goal by turning off any lights or fan units before you leave your room for the day.

• Organics
  Black Sheep Inn is very proud to offer organically grown products in all of our meals, soaps, and cleaning products. We feel very strongly that using these products not only supports local agriculture, but also is overall better for you, our guests, and the environment.
  
  We welcome suggestions you may have to make your next stay more relaxing and comfortable.
