CANCELLATION POLICY
As a small, seasonal business operating in a remote location, cancellations have a significant impact on our viability. As such, the Monhegan House has a strict cancellation policy of 30 days (60 days for suites).
With 30(60) days notice of cancellation, deposits are refunded in full less a per room rebooking fee of $30.00 plus tax ($60.00 plus tax per room for ground floor suites).
With less than 30(60) days notice of cancellation, deposits are refunded only if all same type (suite, double or single) rooms are fully booked.
Shortened reservations are not liable for cancelled nights if reservation dates are changed 30(60) days prior to original arrival date.
In the event the Monhegan House is able to rebook a reservation in full or part with less than 30(60) days notice, deposit refunds will be issued on a pro-rated basis, less per room rebooking fees.
If you need to change the arrival date of your reservation (within the same season) we will do our best to accommodate the change given availability and will not consider such change as a cancellation as long as no days are removed.
GROUP bookings and room blocks are subject to separate cancellation policies as determined by Monhegan House management and group leader(s) and/or responsible parties or businesses.
