TERMS AND CONDITIONS: Guest are required to fill out our Guest Registration Form (click here) This reservation is unlike a hotel reservation in that you are obligated for all the dates of your booking. All vacation rentals are privately owned and the owner/property manager has taken these dates off the market to accommodate you, hence the reason for the following terms. Deposits - a credit card number is taken at the time of reservation to secure your dates. A check for 50%, including the rental/processing fee (which also includes the NM Gross Receipts Tax) is due within 7 days to: RossLynn Reservations, PO Box 2668, Ranchos de Taos, NM 87557. For reservations of less than 30 days, your balance is due 30 days prior to arrival. For monthly reservations and the Christmas/New Years Holiday, your balance is due 60 days prior to arrival. Cancellation - with more than 30 days notice before arrival your deposit will be refunded, minus a 15% handling fee (of total reservation plus rental/processing fee inc. tax), and 60 days + notice for Christmas/New Years and monthly stays. Notice of less than 30 days (60 days for Christmas/New Years and monthly stays) before arrival will result in 100% forfeiture of full reservation unless the property is rebooked for the entire stay at the same rate. When rebooked, the cancellation fee reverts back to the 15%. If booked for less than the entire stay, the refund portion will be prorated (less the 15%). There are no refunds for late arrival or early departure. There are  no refunds for any reason after arrival date. We strongly advise purchasing vacation insurance to protect against any circumstances that could lead to cancellation. Contact Travel Guard International at www.travelguard.com or 800-826-1300. Security Deposits - a separate check for the refundable security, damage, missing items and excessive cleaning (this includes house, grounds, and hot tub) deposit is to be sent with the balance due.
