Rental Rates
Our rental rates are listed on the rates page.  Please add 5.5% sales tax to all rates listed.  If you have any questions on our rates, please contact us and we'll be happy to give you an exact quote.

Deposit and Shortened Stay
We require a $150 deposit per unit to guarantee your weekly reservation and a $75 deposit per unit to guarantee a weekend reservation.  We will hold your reservation for 10 days without a deposit.  Upon receipt of your deposit, we will send you written notice that we have received your deposit.  Should you be forced to cancel your reservation, we will retain your full deposit, unless you cancel at least 6 weeks prior to your reservation, in which case we will refund two-thirds of your deposit.  If you must shorten your stay, we will charge you for the all the days of your reservation, including any reservations of any outboard motors.

Payment Types, Number of Occupants, and Pets
We accept cash, personal checks, money orders, and traveler’s checks.  Sorry, we do not accept credit cards.  All persons count as occupants, regardless of age.  Sorry, but we cannot allow more than 6 people per unit.  Pets are allowed only by prior arrangement; please call us to discuss your pet.  Normally we don’t charge extra for pets.

Boats, Life Jackets, Playground
Each rental unit comes with a 14-foot aluminum rowboat, including one set of oars.  We have a canoe, two kayaks, and one paddle boat that are available for our guests to use at no charge.  Most guests bring their own life jackets and boat cushions, but you may use ours (at no cost) if needed.  Play areas, shuffleboard, badminton, and horseshoes are also available for our guests.

Outboard Motors
We have 2 outboard motors available for rent: a 6 horsepower and a 2.5 horsepower.   We provide free fuel for these outboard motors.  Motors should be reserved in advance.

Sailboat Rental
We will only rent our sailboats to those people that have successfully completed a sailing tutorial offered by Jackie or can otherwise demonstrate sufficient sailing knowledge and experience.  We will only rent sailboats during weather conditions that are reasonably safe and adequate for sailing.  Should weather conditions change unexpectedly, we may require that you immediately return to our resort.  In this case, you will be credited for any unused sailing time.  If you damage a sailboat by allowing it to sail into shore, docks, swim rafts, boats, or other objects, you will be charged for the repair and/or replacement of the damaged parts, plus additional fees determined at our discretion.  We highly recommend that you wear a life jacket at all times while boating, whether in our sailboat or any boat.  Children under the age of 12 will not be allowed to sail unless accompanied by a responsible and sober adult.  We advise that a responsible person in a motorized boat be available as a tender, in case the sailor is unable to return the sailboat to our resort.  While we have listed lots of rules and considerations for using our sailboats, we believe that with some instruction and prudence, you can have a great time sailing our Snarks on Benoit Lake.  They are rather easy to sail.

Damage
We always do our best to keep everything clean and in working order.  We will not charge for items that break or malfunction from normal use.  At our discretion, we may charge you to repair or replace items that are damaged due to misuse.

Personal Watercraft (Jet Skis)
We don’t allow personal watercraft (jet skis) to use our dock or shoreline.  We also do not allow off-road vehicles on our property.  There are, however, trails designated for use by 4-wheelers in the area.  Our property is open to our guests for hiking all seasons and to snowmobilers during winter.

Bringing Your Own Boat
If you bring your own boat, we will gladly make complimentary space available for it at one of our docks.  We will also gladly provide free parking space for your trailer.  Please do everything possible to prevent transmission of harmful exotic organisms (for example, Eurasian watermilfoil, zebra mussels) into our lake by draining your live wells and cleaning off your trailer before launching your boat.

Campfires
We have a campfire area and provide free firewood (reasonable amounts).  If you use an excessive amount of firewood, we’ll charge you a nominal fee.  Occasionally we will not allow campfires because of dry conditions or excessive wind.  If you are unsure if conditions are safe for a campfire, please ask first.  We ask that our guests be in attendance of fires and that they extinguish them when retiring.

Linens and Paper Products
We provide bed linens, kitchen towels, 1 roll of toilet paper, and 1 roll of paper towels.  Most guests bring additional toilet paper.  Please also remember to bring bath towels and any personal items.  If there is something special that you need (large cooking pot, cork screw, etc.), often we can help.  There is a Weber grill and picnic table in front of each unit; guests need to provide their own charcoal.

Please contact us if you have any questions regarding our amenities, policies, or rates.
