Cancellation
Your deposit will be refunded up to 21 days prior to your scheduled arrival date minus a 10% cancellation fee. Within 21 days of the scheduled arrival date,
we cannot refund or transfer any deposits regardless of the reason of cancellation. Unfortunately there will be no refunds due to medical or family emergencies, inclement weather, missed or cancelled flights or
ferry reservations. We highly recommend purchasing a trip cancellation insurance, available at nominal
cost from any travel agency or online at insuremytrip.com.

Pets:
Although we understand how hard it is to leave your loved ones behind, The White Porch Inn cannot accommodate any pets. If you are traveling with
pets we would be happy to refer you to our local
pet resort at www.ptownpets.com
Parking:
Unfortunately we only have limited parking available at the White Porch Inn and thus a “first come, first served rule“ applies. Nearby parking at guest expense is available. We cannot accommodate any oversized vehicles.
