Can I check-in to my room or cottage early?
Although we try to accommodate your requests for an early check-in, it's not always possible, depending on how full the resort or cottages were the night before and how quickly our guests check out in the morning. Our reservation center will be happy to note a request for early check-in on your reservation; however, we cannot guarantee such requests. It's a good idea to call the resort the evening before or the morning of your arrival to see if they can give you an idea of how early you can check in.
Can I check-out of my room or cabin late?
We're glad you want to linger at our park for a while, but we can't always allow you to linger in your room! As long as the resort is not sold out and we do not need your room, an extra hour for check-out is allowed. We do ask you to be considerate of guests checking in behind you who don't want to wait for their room to be ready. Please check with the front desk the morning of your departure to see if a late check-out is possible.
Is there an entrance fee to enter the park?
There are no park entrance fees to enter Hueston Woods State Park.
How far in advance can I make lodging reservations?
We offer reservations up to 12 months in advance of arrival.
Do you have a waitlist for room reservations?
We do not offer a waitlist for reservations.
Since you don't have a waitlist, should I check back every day for a cancellation?
Cancellations do occur; however, they can occur at random with limited success in obtaining the dates and accommodations desired. If your first choice is not available, rather than scheduling your vacation around the possibility of a cancellation, we suggest checking alternate dates instead. If you want to continue to check for cancellations, you may do so by visiting our Check Availability - Book Online page.
Why can't I find my reservation through the Web site reservation system?
Currently our online reservation system will only allow modifications or cancellations to reservations initially booked on our Web site.

Pets are not permitted in any resort rooms or cottages not designated at "pet friendly." All assistance dogs for visually or hearing impaired or orthopedically challenged individuals are permitted in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1991.
