Privacy Policies for Hummingbird Cabins

If for any reason registered guests are unhappy with their lodging while staying with Hummingbird Cabins we ask that they report with all deliberate speed any and all issues that are not acceptable or of concern during their stay and give Hummingbird Cabins a good faith opportunity to correct what ever issue guests may have. Post departure reports of issues and concerns are appreciated and will be used to improve the product but will rarely be considered for any guest refunds.

Typically, there is only one name on a guest reservation. Additional names can be added. We ask that only the individuals listed on the reservation and who sign the guest license agreement contact Hummingbird Cabins concerning their stay, whether it be to request late check out, extend a stay or report a concern or anything else we can help you with. Please have your your reservation number handy for the fastest service.

Hummingbird Cabins is not responsible for the performance of the local utility companies. Neighborhood to area wide outages in water, sewer, trash electricity, Wi-Fi, internet, cable satellite and gas will not be cause for Hummingbird Cabins to refund all or part of any guest reservation. We also do not guarantee the drivability of roads in the winter. Four wheel drive and or chains are advised. It is your responsibility to know the weather forecast. We advise the purchase of travel insurance for some protection to these matters.

If you have paid in full but have not executed and returned your guest license agreement, we will deny you access to the rental until we have the signed guest license agreement. If this is the case and you arrive after business hours you may be looking for somewhere else to stay until morning.

Trash collection in the Ruidoso area is different. There is no curb trash service. There are central collection containers in the neighborhoods. Guests are required to haul ALL their trash off when they check out. If the guest fails to do so there will be charges back to the guest and it won’t be cheap.

If you purchased a damage waiver in lieu of a security deposit you will still be liable for trash left in the home after departure and intentional damage like breaking into owner locked areas or defacing furniture as well as accidents as a result of intoxication.

Over occupancy of vacation rentals is now being strictly enforced by Ruidoso and Alto officials. The number of people a home is advertised to sleep means the total of adults and children of any age. All vehicles must be able to park off street and not exceed more than 1 vehicle per bedroom on the property over night. You can be fined as well as removed from your rental without refund if your group over occupies the vacation rental. We are watching, the neighbors are watching, the local government is watching. Quiet time is 10PM to 8AM Please respect it. Voices carry a long way in the mountains.

Follow the rules and have a great vacation!

GUEST LICENSE AGREEMENT

Vacation rentals are a popular and growing lodging option for travelers such as you and your group. Vacation homes and cabins offer a unique experience with expanded amenities over traditional hotel and motel experiences, as well as, in many cases offering value on per person per night costs to guests.

We at Hummingbird Cabins feel that vacation rentals offer a good deal for both home owners and guests in this capacity sharing arrangement. That being said, vacation properties are on occasion politically targeted by neighboring property owners for a host of reasons many of which are unjustified… but from time to time justified mostly because of noise at inconsiderate times, over occupancy, unsupervised children and unleashed pets or failing to pick up after them.

We ask that you and all those in your group live by the Golden Rule. While enjoying your mountain vacation, please conduct yourself as you would want people to conduct themselves if they were staying in a home next door to yours back home. In this way, we can all work together to keep vacation rentals a viable option for your future vacation travels to not only Ruidoso, but around the country and the globe.
