Hamilton HOUSe POLICIES

We are a non-smoking establishment, although we do provide smoking areas on our property. Since smoking is not allowed in the house there will be a $250.00 cleaning charge if anyone smokes in a room.

Room rates do not include the Maine State Lodging tax of 9% or any gratuities. There is a one night or 1/2 of your stay deposit required on all rooms at the time of your reservation. The deposit is applied to the last night (or nights) of your stay and you are responsible for the beginning portion. We do not accept cancellations on a portion of your stay. Because we are so extremely busy, we do require Fourteen days’ notice prior to arrival (30 days’ prior for weekends in July, August & September, or special events) is required to cancel or change the date of a reservation. For cancellations less than 14 days prior to arrival (less than 30 days for weekends in July, August & September, or any special event), you will be held responsible for all room charges unless we are able to re-book the room. Guests are liable for payment of all nights reserved regardless of their actual arrival/departure date. No-shows are also responsible for full payment of their entire reservation. There is a $25.00 charge per room per cancellation.

Sorry, but we cannot accommodate pets in The Hamilton House.  A small pet may be considered in the cottages. 

Due to the cost to clean such a large property we do not take reservations for less than 2 nights.  In peak season we reserve the right to increase that minimum.  Deposits must be received by check within 30 days or the room will not be held. Please verify both the dates listed and the number of people scheduled are correct and notify us of any change needed. Because of fire codes, any extra person or persons beyond confirmed original number will not be allowed as most rooms cannot accommodate them. There will be no refunds for early departures or cancellations once the reservations are confirmed.

No refund is given if cancellation is shorter than the required time. No refund is given for early departures. No Transfers!
