Dear Travelers,

Thank you for choosing Southern Comfort Cabin Rentals.

First, we would like to start by saying how fortunate we feel that we get to live and work in such a beautiful place. Sharing the laid-back outdoor lifestyle gives us tremendous joy! The remote and scenic rolling countryside with the endless mountain views seems to give everyone a peaceful and carefree feeling. Being a ‘drive to’ destination is a major benefit to us and the people who choose to visit Blue Ridge. Together we are a community.

During these unprecedented times it would be remiss to assume the news of the coronavirus / COVID-19 and now Monkeypox has not crossed your mind and how these events may affect your upcoming visit. The associated travel restrictions, self-imposed quarantines and social distancing are affecting all of us in different ways.

Please read through all of the information provided so that you can be prepared during these times.

All the information provided in this update as of today is contingent upon state and federally mandated orders. We reference best practices from Center for Disease Control Travel to help set the guidelines for our travel policies. To help with your planning, we have prepared a somewhat lengthy and important update with frequently asked questions. We will continue to update you through our social media, newsletters and website.

There is one simple objective that guides us: keeping our guests, homeowners and our staff /contractors safe. This has been at the center of our conversations the last few weeks. With this in mind, we have made several moves in our business in response to the potential threats associated with the coronavirus.

Providing a safe and clean home for our guests is always a top priority for Southern Comfort Cabin Rentals. To help protect you and our community we are actively following the CDC guidelines and recommendations on the steps that can be taken to help prevent the spread of the virus. We have shared specific instructions with our staff / contractors and housekeeping teams on the importance of washing their hands and staying home if they feel sick or are returning from an area identified as posing a coronavirus-related risk.

When You Are Preparing To Travel:

We have received a lot of questions recently. To help keep you informed we have added them to this update.

What is SCCR doing to help create a safe environment during these times?

SCCR has elevated and will continue to place an emphasis on our cleaning practices and policies. Here are some of the steps we take between each visit:

All of our in-house cleaning staff wears gloves and face covers while in our properties
All hard surfaces and high touched areas are cleaned with household disinfectant including doorknobs, handles, toilets and faucet knobs, light switches, handrails, remote controls, lock boxes, electronics, thermostats, game areas, furniture, kitchen cabinets and refrigerators, etc.
Hot tubs are ALWAYS completely drained, filled and sanitized with bromine.
All bed and bathroom linens professionally laundered and installed with care
Our cabins include hand soap, dish soap and other approved household disinfectants for your use
Self Check-ins and Check-out so there is no need to come to our office during your stay

What should we bring with us?

Things are changing daily, and supplies are not as reliable as they were before a pandemic was announced. We strongly suggest all guests consider bringing additional items such as:

Additional Toilet paper, paper towels, soap and hand sanitizer.
Medications. If you have specific medications, bring more than enough.
Food. Stores are being restocked regularly but essentials go quickly. Please consider having the same supplies you would if you were staying in and preparing all your meals at home for the same duration of your visit plus some additional days.
Additional board games, puzzles and books. Most of our homes are equipped with these items, but we want to make sure you have more than enough to enjoy the downtime and time with each other.

Before You Are Here:

If we run out of something can SCCR help?

We are here to help! But we need your help as well. Please be prepared. Our staff will be on call for all the common requests we normally handle. If you need something delivered, we can do it. Just know in advance it may take some additional time and as always there are associated delivery costs with most requests. Call us, we can cover all the details if you arrive and find yourself in need.

When You Are Here:

Will you be offering on-site check-in?

We will be offering our guests in-home check-in so you will not need to visit our office prior to your arrival. If you wish to pick up your check-in instructions in person, we can offer a curbside pick-up. Please give our team 48-hours’ notice prior to your arrival.

What is your policy on cancellations, rescheduling and refunds?
