Limited In Person Check-In Procedure
IF you do not want to do the standard, online check-in procedure, you may follow our in person check-in procedure - however an ADDITIONAL FEE required, and there are strict guidelines for this and in person check-in is NOT available after 9pm. No exceptions. You WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET INTO YOUR UNIT if you arrive after 9pm.
Checking into your unit in person may be difficult here in the high/snowy mountain area due to severe road and weather conditions – especially at night.

Check-in times are only available during a 2 hour window and are split into two, 1 hour sections of time from 5pm-6pm and from 8pm-9pm.

Additionally, a $200 refundable deposit against the guest’s credit card will be charged for ID verification purposes.
