RENTAL POLICIES
Ownership of Homes
All Cool Ruidoso.Com properties are privately owned vacation homes.
The owners have contracted with Cool Ruidoso.Com to make their
homes available to guests during periods their homes would otherwise
be unoccupied.
Although very rare, occasionally a home can become unavailable
due to circumstances beyond our control; therefore, we must reserve
the right to move you to the most comparable accommodations we
have available.
Phone Reservations
When reserving a home by phone and you provide your credit card
number, your expiration date and your name as it appears on your
credit card you are agreeing to authorize Cool Ruidoso.Com and
your Credit Card Company to charge to your credit card the deposit/payment
for your lodging accommodations and payment for any damage incurred
to the property during your occupancy. No signature is required.

A deposit of 30% is due by credit card when your reservation is
made. Total charges are due in full 14 days prior to arrival date.
Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Years reservations are due in full
on or before November 1 and December 1, respectively. Final payments
can be made by Master Card, Visa, American Express, Discover,
Money Order, Cashier’s Check or Personal Checks.
Rental Charges
The standard daily rental rate is displayed below the amenities
