Guests are not required to make a deposit at the time of booking. They simply need to provide a credit card to guarantee the reservation. For those counties who do not have a card, they would have to use a personal credit
card to hold the reservation. They can then mail Shanty Creek a county check, and it will be applied to their account before the credit card is charged. The check must be received 7 days before check-in for the credit card not to be charged.
Shanty also will not accept personal checks, only corporate or municipal checks.
Instructions for Guests who plan to share a room:
Step 1: Select the arrival and departure dates, and choose 2 guests for the room occupancy. It is very important that they select the correct number of guests staying in the room.
Step 2: Select the desired room type.
Step 3: Enter the reservation details. In the Special Requests section, guests should include the name of the person they will be sharing a room with.
Because reservations are being made individually, the booking system will initially display the balance for two occupants. However, once we receive the reservation, we will adjust it on our end and assign the guest to the roommate listed in the Special Requests section.
