Payment & Cancellation Policies
Owing to a brief season, remote location, the highest safety standards and industry leading service, our wilderness experiences are operationally cost-intensive. For that reason, our payment and cancellation policies are as follows:
Fishing, Riding and Cabin Stays…
Deposits & Payments:
When booking for the next calendar year, a deposit of $250 per person is required to reserve dates, then 50% is due January 15. When booking for the same calendar year, a 50% deposit is required to reserve dates. New reservations will be held for 1 week, upon which a deposit is required to secure them. Your reservation will not be confirmed until we receive your deposit. The balance is due 30 days prior to arrival. Reservations made inside 30 days require payment in full. All deposits and payments are non-refundable under any circumstances. If payments are not received when due, we reserve the right to assume that the reservation is cancelled and your space may be offered to our wait list.
Cancellation Policy:
Owing to a brief season, remote location, the highest safety standards and industry leading service, our wilderness experiences are operationally cost-intensive. For that reason, our Cancellation Policy is as follows:
You may cancel your trip at any time, but all payments, deposits and fees paid to Budge’s are 100% non-refundable. No exceptions. If a fishing trip, horseback riding trip or cabin stay is cancelled with more than 60-days notice prior to the arrival date, the non-refundable deposit may be credited toward other guests or other available dates within 12 months of the date of the original reservation. For cancellations made less than 60 days prior to the arrival date, the exact reservation may be transferred to another guest, or the payments received will be forfeited. For these reasons, we strongly advise guests to purchase cancellation insurance. These are the standard operating policies of Budge’s and are subject to change without notice.
Hunting Trips…
Deposits & Payments :
When booking more than one year in advance, a deposit of $500 per person is required to reserve your dates, then 50% is due December 1 the year preceding your hunt. When booking less than a year in advance, a 50% deposit is required to reserve your dates. New reservations will be held for 1 week, upon which a deposit and signed contracts are required to secure them. Your reservation will not be confirmed until we receive your deposit and contract. The balance is due 60 days prior to arrival. If payments are not received when due, we reserve the right to assume that the reservation is cancelled and your space may be offered to our wait list.
ARCHERY AND MUZZLELOADER HUNTERS: Our area requires preference points to draw archery and muzzleloader tags. Please contact us BEFORE the draw to reserve your spot. If you contact us after the draw, we will not have a spot saved for you. A $500 deposit will reserve your spot and lock in your price at current rates. If you do not draw, your deposit will be rolled over to the following year. This deposit does not expire and will remain active until you draw the license. Upon drawing the license, 50% of the hunt cost is due by June 15 to confirm your hunt dates. The balance will be due upon arrival.
Cancellation Policy:
Owing to a brief season, remote location, the highest safety standards and industry leading service, our wilderness experiences are operationally cost-intensive. For that reason, our Cancellation Policy is as follows:
You may cancel your trip at any time, but all payments, deposits and fees paid to Budge’s are 100% non-refundable. No exceptions. If you are applying for a limited elk license and are not successful in drawing the tag, your deposit will be rolled over to the following year.
If a hunting trip is cancelled with more than 90-days notice prior to the arrival date, the non-refundable deposit may be credited toward other guests or dates within 12 months of the date of the original reservation, subject to availability. For cancellations made less than 90 days prior to the arrival date, the exact reservation may be transferred to another guest, or the payments received will be forfeited.
For these reasons, we strongly advise you purchase vacation cancellation insurance through your local provider. These are the standard operating policies of Budge’s and are subject to change without notice.
