Cabin Rental Policy

The Primary Renter must be at least 21 years of age and hold a valid state-issued driver's license to rent a cabin. Rental fees plus the security/damage deposit must be paid in full at least 75 days prior to your arrival date.

Payment for deposits, rentals, fuel, and supplies may be made by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, or cash. A check will be issued for any refundable cash payment — no cash refunds are issued.

We charge the booking deposit as a portion of the total cost of the reservation, and place a hold on a card for the damage deposit upon arrival.

Silverthorn Resort is committed to making your vacation as trouble-free as possible. This can only happen if we are made aware of any problem at the time it occurs — please notify the resort immediately should you experience a failure of any kind.

Refunds are not given for inconveniences due to cabin malfunction including, but not limited to, weather conditions, power outages, water outages, or mechanical failure of appliances, electronics, plumbing, heating, or A/C units.

Guest understands that the availability of a specific cabin cannot be guaranteed, and Silverthorn Resort may find it necessary to move a guest to a comparable cabin rental.

The cabin must be cleaned and the renter checked-out no later than 11:00 AM on the departure date.

Silverthorn Resort provides a set number of parking passes to guests based on the type of cabin rented.

Silverthorn Resort is a pet-friendly resort and will accommodate one pet at no charge. Each additional pet requires a non-refundable charge of $35.00 to be paid prior to occupancy.

Any excessive cleaning required upon departure (pet hair, urine, etc.) will be charged to the credit card on file at $25.00 per hour. Any damages will be charged at replacement cost.

All cabins are located in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. As such, you are likely to encounter wildlife (deer, bears, raccoons, turkeys, snakes, and insects of various types — including, but not limited to, ants, spiders, scorpions, wasps, and hornets). Neither Silverthorn Resort nor the property owner will accept responsibility for any inconvenience, injury, or death caused by said wildlife.

All cabins are privately owned with furnishings and equipment provided by the cabin owner. Moving of furniture or re-arranging of pre-wired home electronic equipment is prohibited. If you require special appliances or equipment, please bring them with you. Decor, style, color, and themes will vary between cabins. Furnishings are subject to change without notice.

Rental guests are solely responsible for damages to the cabin, decor, equipment, and/or furnishings, or removal of said items during the reservation period — caused by any member of their party, regardless of whether the member is duly authorized (i.e. unauthorized guest or pet) by the reservation invoice.

This is a non-smoking cabin. If it is found that any member of the rental party, or a guest of the rental party, has smoked inside the cabin, half of your $200.00 damage deposit will be forfeited. The entire cabin is designated as a No Smoking Area. Guests may smoke in the outside deck/patio areas. Cigarette butts must not be disposed of in the yard or anywhere on the property.

Our cabins are privately owned and guests are responsible for lost keys. The property must be re-keyed in the event keys are lost, misplaced, or not returned. Guests will be responsible for the cost of this procedure.

Silverthorn Resort shall not be liable for loss of, or damage to, any property left, stored, or transported in or on the cabin or any boat — either before or after return thereof to Silverthorn Resort — whether or not such loss or damage was caused by or related to the negligence of Silverthorn Resort, its agents, or employees. The contract holder assumes all risk of such loss or damage and waives all claims against Silverthorn Resort.

During the term of this Agreement, the renter agrees to comply with all laws and regulations of the United States, the State of California, and local jurisdictions. Silverthorn Resort reserves the right to cancel the remaining period of the rental — with resulting forfeiture of any fees paid — if, in the opinion of a representative of Silverthorn Resort, the use of the cabin contravenes regulations and presents a hazard to people or property or unduly interferes with the rights of others.

For the duration of the Agreement, the renter is fully responsible for the cabin rental and all equipment — including, but not limited to, appliances, appurtenances, and supplies. The renter is not in any way an agent, servant, or employee of Silverthorn Resort and will not permit any repairs to be made, or liens or accessories to be placed against the cabin, without first obtaining express written permission from Silverthorn Resort.
