Sunset Cove Resort Policies

Welcome to Sunset Cove Resort!

Welcome back to our returning guests — we’re so glad to have you with us again — and a warm welcome to all new visitors! Each cabin includes a three-ring binder with helpful information such as the restaurant menu, resort details, and other resources to make your stay more comfortable.

We appreciate your cooperation in reviewing our resort policies before your arrival.

Check-In & Check-Out

  • Check-in: 3:00 PM
  • Check-out: 9:00 AM

Please stop at the Lodge upon check-in to settle any remaining balance on your cabin or boat rental. Miscellaneous charges are due the afternoon before departure.

Before checking out, we kindly ask that you:

  • Wash all dishes
  • Remove garbage and place it in the outdoor bins

This helps our cleaning team prepare the cabins for the next guests.

All cabins and rental equipment are inspected before and after each stay. Guests are responsible for any damages or excessive cleaning required. If you notice anything unsatisfactory during your stay, please let us know right away so we can address it promptly.

What to Bring

To make your stay more comfortable, please remember to bring the following items:

  • Bathroom towels and soaps
  • Coffee and coffee filters
  • Charcoal
  • Dishwasher detergent
  • Laundry detergent
  • Dish soap

These items are not provided in the cabins, so we recommend packing them before arrival.

Deposits, Cancellations & Payments

  • Cabin deposit: $250 per week of reservation
  • Boat or pontoon deposit: $100 per week of reservation (non-refundable if canceled at time of arrival)
  • Payment methods: Personal check, Visa, Mastercard, or Discover
    • A 4% credit card fee applies to all card payments
  • Deposit due: January 15 for rebooking guests

Cancellation Policy
 Should you find it necessary to cancel your reservation, please notify us immediately.
 No refunds will be given within 30 days of your reservation date. Guests who cancel upon arrival or fail to use their reserved accommodations or equipment are responsible for the agreed-upon rate.

A deposit serves as a mutual guarantee — it secures your stay with us and ensures your commitment to the reserved dates.

New for 2024:
 A credit card must be provided at the time of booking to hold cabin charges during your stay.

Arrival & Departure

  • Saturday check-in: 3:00–6:00 PM
  • Saturday check-out: Before 9:00 AM

All other days: Check-in after 1:00 PM / Check-out before noon.

Weekly Reservations (Summer Season)
During the summer months, all weekly cabin and cottage reservations run Saturday to Saturday to help coordinate housekeeping and guest turnover. A three-night minimum stay may be available during spring and fall — please call for availability.

Pet Policy

Please note our pet policy varies by lodging type:

  • Cabins & Cottages: No pets allowed.
  • Campground: Pets are allowed but must be kenneled or leashed.
  • Hunting Season Exception: Hunting dogs are allowed but must be kenneled when not in use.
  • Beach Area: No pets permitted.

If you’re traveling with pets, we’re happy to recommend nearby boarding options.

Occupancy & Extra Guests

Cabin rates are based on standard occupancy.

  • Extra guests (age 5 and older): $25 per day or $150 per week.
  • Spring/Fall rates: $50–$100 per person, depending on group size or minimum daily rate.
  • No tents allowed.

Please confirm the number of guests in your party at the time of booking.

Boats & Rentals

Weekly boat rentals must be returned by 5:00 PM on Friday so they can be refueled before the restaurant’s busy hours.

Please note that boat and equipment reservations are treated the same as cabin reservations — once reserved, they are held specifically for you. Guests who cancel upon arrival or choose not to use reserved equipment are still responsible for the agreed-upon rate.

Deposits and rental policies ensure mutual commitment between guests and the resort, helping us manage availability fairly for everyone.

Housekeeping

Housekeeping is provided between stays. Guests are responsible for maintaining cleanliness during their visit.
 If you need additional kitchen supplies or replacements, please stop by the Lodge — we’ll be happy to help.

General Resort Etiquette

We ask that all guests treat the property, staff, and fellow visitors with respect.

  • Only household garbage may be placed in resort dumpsters (no large items or furniture).
  • Please follow quiet hours and fire safety rules.
  • No tents allowed near cabins or on campground.

Report any issues directly to Bryan at 218-335-2480 or stop by the Lodge.

Thank You

Thank you for choosing Sunset Cove Resort! We look forward to hosting you and making your time with us relaxing, memorable, and fun.
