Windswept Manor House Room Reservations & Rules
We have compiled a list of rules to help reservations and Manor House usage go smoothly. The Manor House is a unique and amazing asset for Windswept. From its start as 1800s log homes 500’ below us on the river as working farms to being moved to the top of the peninsula by mules upon the making of Cherokee Lake and its transformation into the awe inspiring it has become, you have something to be proud of and show off. We hope that everyone will treat it as such and treat it and fellow property owners with the utmost respect whenever using your hidden treasure. Each property owner in Phase I-IV receives 5 room-nights per lot per calendar year. That is, 1 room for 5 nights or it could be used as 5 rooms for 1 night; any combination of rooms per night that equals 5 total nights. The intended purpose of the free nights is to allow property owners the chance to “test-drive” the community and area and meet their future neighbors. Nights do not carry over to subsequent years. Reservations may only be made through the property owner portal.
Any property owner who does not follow the rules is subject to suspension of privileges. If property owners remove items from the Manor House, break items due to negligence or destructive behavior, overstay their dates or arrive a day early, have more guests than requested, use more rooms than requested, have pets/animals present (other than certified animals), or cause any damage to the premises are subject to suspension of privileges, loss of nights, eviction from the premises and/or the cost of any repairs or replacements resulting from their or their guest’s actions.
Please remember when using the bedrooms at the Manor House that the common areas are still open for use by other property owners and their guests, even if you are using all the bedrooms. The Manor House is not like renting a cabin in the Smokies, it is more like staying at a B&B, or like borrowing a friend’s house. We ask that you and your guests remember to lock your bedrooms and keep personal items in your rooms when you aren’t at the Manor House.
Manor House Rules
- Manor House hours for property owners/guests not staying the night: 9am – 9pm. When we have overnight guests, we ask that property owners not staying the night observe the hours of 10am – 8pm in order to accommodate the people staying.
- No more than 5 nights may be reserved in a row. Owners may not “borrow” extra nights from other owners.
- Check-in times are between 1pm and 6pm. Checkout is 11am.
- Rooms must be reserved at least 15 days in advance. No last minute reservations will be accepted. Only reservation requests made through the owner portal located at (www.WindsweptLakefront.com) will be responded to.
- Cancellations or changes must be made15 days in advance, or the nights reserved will be counted against your allowed nights.
- No cleaning fee will be charged for the first stay per year no matter the number of nights or rooms used. However, if a property owner splits up nights and stays multiple times, a cleaning fee of $125 will be charged for each subsequent stay after the first one. For example: if a property owner uses 3 nights in April and then 2 nights in June, the first stay will have no cleaning fee and the June stay will have a $125 cleaning fee.
- No rooms may be reserved that aren’t going to be used. Two guests per room.
- Property owners must make all reservations and meet their guests upon arrival. We are not a hotel or B&B so we do not have a staff to do so. Owners will ensure that their guests understand the rules that they, as owners, are 100% responsible for their guest’s and their own compliance.
