For your convenience, below are a few details and information to help you plan and enjoy your time while visiting us.

• Check In is between 3:00 - 6:00 pm. Due to scheduling, please notify us in advance if you anticipate a later arrival. An earlier check-in may be available for an additional fee, but only by advance arrangement.


• Check Out is promptly by 11:00 am due to scheduling and incoming reservations, unless otherwise pre-arranged.


• Deposits: a 50% deposit (100% for a one night stay) is required at the time of your reservation. We accept Discover, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, travelers checks, and U.S. currency. Rates and policies are based on double occupancy (excludes our business traveler rate) and are subject to change at any time.


• Cancellations: The A G Thomson House is a small Bed and Breakfast and, unlike most hotels, we never over book our room inventory. When we guarantee an accommodation, we lose the opportunity to sell it to others; that is why it is important for the guarantee to be honored both ways. A full refund of your deposit on a multiple-night stay or payment on a single-night stay (less a $75 cancellation fee regardless of when the cancellation occurs) will be offered for cancellations 30 or more days in advance of your scheduled arrival. If you cancel your reservation of a one night stay less than 30 days prior to arrival; you will not be offered a refund or credit. If you cancel your reservation for a multiple night stay within 48 hours of arrival, you will be billed for the entire stay and a refund or credit will not be offered. If a gift certificate/gift card is used for your stay, the value of the certificate will be retained to cover the cancellation fee and/or entire cost of the reservation. This policy is subject to change without notice. Our regular cancellation policy does not apply to Grandma's Marathon.


• Grandma's Marathon: A three-night stay at the weekend rate is required for the weekend of Grandma's Marathon (June 19, 2010). Days can include either a Thursday or Sunday. Our normal 30 day cancellation period does not apply for the weekend of Grandma's Marathon. Gift certificates, gift cards, or credits of any kind will not be accepted for this event. Our regular cancellation policy does not apply to this special event. Upon booking your three-night stay, we will process 50% of your stay/reservation total. This amount will not be refunded under any circumstances and will be forfeited upon cancellation at any time and for any reason. Forty-five (45) days prior to your arrival, we will bill the balance of your reservation/stay. At this time, cancellation of your three-night stay for any reason will result in the forfeit of your entire payment regardless of the date and time of your cancellation, or whether we are able to rebook the room. A credit toward a future stay will not be provided. We regret that no exceptions will be made to this cancellation policy.


• Weekend Reservations: We require a two night minimum weekend stay to include a Friday and Saturday. A two night weekend stay that includes a Thursday & Friday, OR a Saturday & Sunday is welcome; however the regular weekend rate will be charged for each night.


• Quiet Season and High Season: Our Quiet Season runs from November thru Mid-May; and our High Season runs from Mid-May thru October. We are flexible on our two night weekend stay policy during our Quiet Season; please inquire.

Smoking is not permitted in guest rooms, on guest room balconies, indoor or outdoor public areas, nor anywhere on our grounds where it may impact other guests or pose a fire hazard. We will assess a $450 fee to your credit card for any violations of our no smoking policy and we reserve the right to ask you to leave the premises immediately. If the room is damaged or requires an excessive amount of cleaning; an additional cleaning fee will be assessed to your credit card at a minimum hourly rate of $75/hour and any damages will be assessed the value of repair or replacement.
