Policies

Regular check-in time is 4-7 PM. We are very flexible with late check-ins. Early check-ins are not possible unless pre-arranged with the innkeepers and are subject to a $30 early check-in fee. Call us at 503-965-6745 to see if early check-in is possible. Please let us know if you need a later check-in and it can be arranged at no additional charge. If we need to step away from the inn or it’s late, a self-check-in may be offered.

Check-out time: By 11 AM

No smoking anywhere indoors. Smoking is permitted outside only ($200 cleaning fee for violations).

The Cottage is our only pet-friendly room. A $30 pet charge per reservation will be charged. One pet guest (dog) is allowed unless prior arrangements have been made with the innkeeper. For all of our guest’s comfort, we ask that your dog is on a leash while outside on our property. Your dog must be with you whenever you leave the cottage.

Rates are for two people and include full breakfast delivered to your door; rates are subject to change without notice. If tax rates change from the time of booking, the guest will be responsible at check-in for any additional room taxes due.

1 night stays will be charged in full (including any add-on packages)

Stays of 2 or more nights require a 50% deposit.

The minimum stay is two nights on weekends (Friday or Saturday). Sometimes openings of 1 night can be made if it’s last-minute or a single night has been created by other bookings. If rooms are still available 3 days prior to the weekend, a 1-night stay is available. There are no minimums if staying Sunday – Thursday except on major holidays. Major holidays may have a 3-night minimum.

Cancellations require ten days’ notice prior to arrival, or a deposit will be forfeited and you will be charged for the entire length of your reservation. If your reservation is made less than 10 days before arrival, your reservation is non-refundable and cannot be changed. A $30 cancellation fee per room applies to all cancellations. Early departures WILL be charged for the reserved time period. Because last-minute cancellations greatly affect us, our cancellation policy is strictly enforced.

Children under 12 years old are appropriate only in the Cottage.

The only gift certificates/cards/vouchers we accept are issued by Sandlake Country Inn.

No flame candles are allowed.

If you leave any items in the room and want them mailed back to you, there is a minimum $20 charge which includes postage and handling.

Our cancellation policy for bad weather is “If the roads are open, so are we.”

Our Green Lodging Commitment to the Planet and Our Guests
Sandlake Country Inn is a green lodging property. We were the first bed and breakfast on the Oregon Coast to have had a green lodging certification.

Going “Green” doesn’t have to mean that you can’t enjoy the luxury! In fact, most of our guests over the years have no idea that when they stay with us we are a “green” property.

Since we purchased the inn in 2001, we have made a commitment in our business practices to promote the sustainability of our planet’s natural resources. Green lodging doesn’t mean you miss out on anything! Here are a few things we have done to help

Buy locally when possible

  1. Use environmentally friendly cleaning products with all-natural ingredients
  2. Use durable products instead of throwing them away
  3. Use e-mail for almost all business communications
  4. All bubble baths & lotions are environmentally friendly…no chemicals, all-natural products, and not tested on animals
  5. Purchase our lotions & bubble bath in bulk & provide each guest room with reusable glass containers instead of disposable travel bottles
  6. When an appliance breaks, we’ve replaced it with an energy-efficient appliance
  7. Replaced light bulbs whenever possible with LED bulbs
  8. Encourage our guests to reuse their towels if they feel comfortable doing so
  9. Reusable grocery bags when shopping
  10. Purchase organic free trade green coffee beans and roast onsite
