We reserves the right to request a security deposit of $250. A $250 security deposit, in the form of a check or cash is required to hold reservation dates.  The security deposit will be returned within 10 business days if there is no damage or missing items.  If you choose to stay with us again in the future, the deposit may be carried over for future dates.

Please report any damage, broken items, or items in need of repair immediately during your stay.  Charges for damages and/or missing items following your stay will be at the discretion of Heartland Retreat & Rental Hall owners. 

Smoking or use of any tobacco product is not allowed inside the property or in any entrances, exits, or other areas immediately adjacent to the property.  The use or possession of any illegal drugs or substances is strictly prohibited.  If there has been a determination that smoking has taken place inside the property, it will automatically constitute as damage to the property and your $250 security deposit will be forfeited or, if no security fee was required, you will be billed the amount of $250 which must be paid within 7 days of receipt.

While pets make great companions, it is our policy that no animals of any kind are allowed at Heartland Retreat & Rental Hall, with the exception of certified service animals.  Please leave your animals at home.
