Terms and Conditions

We would like you to have an enjoyable and memorable stay. To help us provide you with the best possible service, please review the following policies. 

Check-in/Check-out

We will welcome you with physical distancing, either in the parking lot or inside the guest side of the lodge.  


Currently, it is mandatory in Nova Scotia to wear masks in all public indoor spaces, including B&Bs. Therefore, we ask guests to wear masks when entering the lodge in common areas like hallways.


Check-in: 4-6 pm 

Check-out: 11 am


It helps our daily life greatly if we know approximate when you will arrive, please let us know your approximate check-in time. If you arrive at the airport that day and plan to come straight here, you might want to give us your flight details, so we can check if the flight is delayed and you don't have to worry.

In case your scheduled arrival time has changed, please notify us.
Early/Late Check-ins

We will accommodate early and late check-in times whenever possible. Please arrange with us in advance. If we don’t know that you will be arriving before or after 4 pm-6 pm, you might arrive at an empty house since we do NOT have a 24-hour front desk.


Please also see Adjustments to Our Check-in Procedures Due to COVID-19

Cancellation Policy

Rest assured that we will be flexible if new  Covid-19 related travel restrictions get introduced within the cancellation period. These are extraordinary times, and we understand.


May 1 - October 15

  • If the booking is cancelled less than 10 days before arrival, then a charge equal to the full booking amount will be made.
  • In the event of a no-show or booking reduction (after arrival date), the booking's full cost is charged.

For multiple room bookings of 3+ nights, a 12-day cancellation policy applies throughout the year.


When you reserve a room or rooms, we agree to turn away all other requests for the room(s) you reserved, guaranteeing to hold them for the day(s)  you requested. We want our policy to be fair for our guests, yet we also need to prevent income loss to our B&B by cancellations.

Smoking is prohibited inside the building. We ask that you be considerate of other guests when smoking outside. Please ask us for ashtrays.

River Ridge Lodge reserves the right to charge the credit card on file a $250 fee to cover the cost of deep cleaning.

Should your room not be ready yet or you would like to enjoy the property/area before check-in or after check-out, we gladly offer to store your luggage and allow you to park your car on the premise free of charge.
