WEATHER
What is the weather going to be like? The weather in the Smoky Mountains is always changing, and can be unpredictable. However, it can make for a beautiful experience. We do our best to watch the weather, and suggest that our guests do the same.
The property on occasion does lose power due to the weather. When this happens, it will affect basic items like heating / cooling / Internet etc. The local utility companies are fairly consistent about getting power and internet restored. Please keep this in mind. We do our best to provide a nice place to stay but the weather is out of our hands. Though we're unable to offer refunds due to utility outages that are out of our hands.
Our cancellation policy does not change for rain, snow, winds, etc. However, if there are road closures or severe weather conditions, we will reach out to our guests about their options.
CONSTRUCTION
Creekside Hideaway is growing and we’re always trying to make the property better! While we expand, there will be some construction and landscaping activities ongoing. Our dedicated crew is doing everything possible to ensure minimal disturbances. Though we're unable to offer refunds due to construction noises, we're confident the upgrades will be worth the wait. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and for being a cherished part of our exciting journey forward!
