Mangy Moose Trailside Lodge Policies

2 Night Minimum

Occasionally we can make an exception and offer 1 night stays. Please contact us if you would like to request a 1 night stay. That said, we ask that you please respect our 2 night minimum policy. Please do not book 2 nights with the intention of dropping one. If you must do so, you will be billed for 2 nights, or subject to a cancellation. Of course you may book 2 nights and only stay for one. Sometimes three nights may be required during certain times throughout the season. 

Room Rates

Room rates do not include the sales tax of 12.38% and are based on a two-person occupancy. Please note that children and infants of any age are considered part of total occupancy of the room.

Room Capacity

Each unit at Mangy Moose Trailside Lodge has its own listed maximum occupancy based on the size, layout, beds, bathroom capacity, and overall guest comfort.

The maximum occupancy shown for each unit at the time of booking is the maximum number of guests allowed in that unit. This includes adults, children, and overnight guests.

No unit may exceed its listed maximum occupancy at any time.

Only registered guests are permitted to stay overnight. Additional guests may not be added after booking unless approved by Mangy Moose Resorts in advance and confirmed on the reservation.

Exceeding the listed occupancy may result in additional charges, cancellation of the reservation, or removal from the property without refund.

These limits help us keep each unit comfortable, safe, and properly maintained for all guests.

Reservations

Rooms must be reserved with a major credit card. We charge a non-refundable 30% deposit plus taxes for our standard rooms and the Moose Hus. You will be charged the remaining balance on the morning of your arrival.

INSIDE of 10 days from reservation, 1 night penalty will be taken in addition to the deposit already processed."

Early Departures

Once a guest has checked in, the reservation is considered active and dates are blocked from being rebooked. Refunds or credits are not provided for early departures.

If a guest chooses to depart before their scheduled checkout date, all remaining nights on the reservation remain non-refundable.

We understand that plans can change unexpectedly. However, once your stay begins, your accommodations have been reserved exclusively for your group. (After all, it probably wouldn't feel great if we asked you to leave early because another guest wanted the room!)

In the event of a verified maintenance or property-related issue that cannot reasonably be corrected, management may review charges at its discretion.

Deposits

We charge a non-refundable 30% deposit plus taxes/fees for all our rooms. SINGLE NIGHT STAYS- the full room charge is taken upon booking and is non- refundable
