- Your name and the names of guests included in a stay
- Email address and phone number
- Requested dates, guest count, and details about your trip
- Messages, questions, or special requests you send us
We ask that you do not send sensitive information — such as full payment card numbers or government identification numbers — through website forms or email.
2. Information You Provide Voluntarily
Some information is entirely optional, such as preferences, accessibility needs, occasion details, or feedback about a stay. You are never required to provide it, and you may ask us to remove it at any time using the contact details below.
3. Website Usage Data, Cookies, and Analytics
Like most websites, this site may automatically collect limited technical information when you visit, including your device type, browser, general location derived from your IP address, referring page, and the pages you view.
- Essential cookies keep the site functioning and secure.
- Analytics technologies help us understand which pages guests find useful so we can improve the experience.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how parts of the site work.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use the information described above to:
- Respond to inquiries and provide availability, rates, and stay details

5. Third-Party Services and Booking Platforms
Reservations may be completed through third-party platforms such as Airbnb, Vrbo, or a direct booking provider. When you follow a link to one of these services, their own privacy policies and terms govern the information you provide there.
We may also rely on service providers for website hosting, email delivery, analytics, and messaging. These providers may process limited information on our behalf and are expected to safeguard it.
6. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information we hold, including limiting access to those who need it and using secure, encrypted connections for this website. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Data Retention
We keep inquiry and reservation information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy — for example, to manage a stay, answer follow-up questions, and maintain ordinary business records — and then delete or anonymize it, unless a longer period is required by applicable law.
8. Your Rights and Privacy Requests
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, which can include the ability to:
- Request a copy of the information we hold about you
- Ask us to correct inaccurate information
- Ask us to delete information we no longer need
- Object to or limit certain uses of your information
- Unsubscribe from non-essential messages
To make a request, contact us at [Contact Email]. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
9. Children's Privacy
This website is intended for adults booking travel. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. If you believe a child has provided information through this site, please contact us and we will remove it.
10. Updates to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices, the website, or applicable requirements. The effective date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised, and continued use of the site means you accept the current version.
