Rental Policies

Rates & Bookings:

Your reservation is considered to be "held" once we receive your required information and booked once we receive your deposit. You are agreeing at the time of booking to the reservation policy which can be reviewed on our website: www.desertpineproperties.com.

A two night minimum stay is required on all non-holiday reservations. Holiday reservations have a 3 night minimum. Rates and descriptions are subject to change without notice. 11.4% City of Bend transient room tax and 1% State tax are required to be collected on all properties as per State of Oregon.

In addition to the cleaning fee, a reservation fee of $25 is applied to all reservations at the time of booking. Properties that require above average cleaning at the time of check out will have the additional fee deducted from the security deposit.

Desert Pine Properties reserves the right to cancel any reservations or substitute rental homes due to circumstances beyond our control. Should the home confirmed by the guest become unavailable for any reason whatsoever, Desert Pine Properties will inform guest prior to check in and every attempt will be made to relocate guest to a comparable home, unless guest requests a refund.

Unit Policies:

The owners of these vacation homes have graciously furnished their homes for your comfort and pleasure. Please respect and care for it as if it were your own. Our owners have requested that their units be smoke and pet free (unless otherwise specifically stated). Laws with regard to pets of the handicapped are honored. If you smoke or have pets in the home you will automatically forfeit your full Security Deposit.

Security deposits vary on our vacation rentals. $500.00 - $2000.00. Security Deposits can be used for infractions of rental policies, damage, theft, additional cleaning, unpaid rent or any other incident causing harm/damage to the property.

There are occupancy limits for each home published on our website and included in the property description. These limits cannot be exceeded for any reason other than an infant. Exceeding the maximum specified occupancy constitutes a breach of the lease agreement, as well as fire codes, and will result in termination of lease without refund of rent and full forfeiture of your full Security deposit.
