Important Things to Know

We hope that you will enjoy your glamping experience here at Longleaf Piney Resort. We can’t wait to welcome you. Just remember that staying on a campground—even a totally awesome one like this—is not the same as staying in a fancy hotel. Please make sure you read the terms, conditions, and rules of the house (or should we say “woods”) before you come. Things like campfires and septic systems may not be concerns at that hotel down the road, but last time we checked, they frown upon making s’mores on an open fire right outside your room. It’s a great trade off if you love nature and fresh air and a place to lay your head that’s a WHOLE lot better than a plain old tent.

Check In Instruction:

Everything is self-check-in. You will receive a check-in email a couple of days prior to your arrival with detailed directions and check-in instructions that include your lockbox code for your house key. We ask that check-ins start at 3 pm and checkouts by 10:30 am so that we have time to clean our houses for the next guests. Oftentimes we can accommodate an early check-in or late check-out so just ask.

Check Out Instruction:

• Checkout time is 10:30AM - If you need a little extra time we will do our best to help, just email us and ask,
• Please wash any dishes and leave in dry racks near the sink or load and start the dishwasher on houses with dishwashers.
• Close and lock all doors.
• Turn off all lights and ceiling fans
• Please bag all of your garage and put bagged garbage into our outside garbage cans near the logo’d silo at the front of the property.
• Turn off AC/heater
• Please leave any keys in the lock box. 

Cancellations

If you need to cancel your reservation, you are required to cancel seven days in advance. If you cancel seven or more days in advance, you qualify for a full refund. If you must cancel your reservation within the seven days before your reservation begins, we will do our best to book your tiny house for someone else. If we are able to do so, we will offer you a full refund for any nights that we are able to book. If we cannot book the tiny house, we will not be able to refund your money. If you do not show and fail to cancel your reservation, you will be charged the full fee for your stay. So if you don’t want to burn your money away like the firewood out beside our houses, be aware of these cancellation policies. 

LPR houses and campers are all non-smoking. Because the tiny houses are small, and smells tend to stick around, please throw out cigarette butts in the garbage area rather than in the tiny houses. Any violation of the smoking policy indoors will be charged an $250 additional Cleaning Fee to remove smoke odors from the home and/or linens.

No Smoking Indoors

House Substitution

LPR reserves the right to substitute a “Piney House” of similar or greater value than specified in the guest’s reservation should the situation require it.

Sewer System

Parking

In trying to keep the Great Outdoors feeling like the Great Outdoors, LPR offers limited parking, only available for LPR guests. Each guest will have parking for two vehicles. One vehicle is allowed near your unit. Any other vehicles will need to be parked in the designated parking area near the entrance of the campground.

Instead of going in the woods and using leaves like other camping experiences, LPR offers comfortable, well-ventilated, clean bathrooms and toilets. These beautiful bathrooms are serviced through a GREAT septic system. But septic systems do not perform the same as your city slicker plumbing back home. DO NOT put anything in the toilet that does not come out of your body naturally along with OUR supplied toilet paper. Our special septic-sensitive toilet paper has been well proven to take care of the biggest messes in the woods without leaving you with poison ivy or so much as scratch on your tush. Seriously—nothing but our TP goes down the toilet—no cotton swabs, wipes, tampons, etc. 

Likewise, the sinks all go through the same system and we do not have any sink disposals. So nothing but fluids down the sink. No food, straws, toothpicks or whatever.

If you violate any of the above requirements we will perform an exhaustive DNA search and hunt you down to come back and fix the sewer.

Pets

Longleaf Piney Resort (LPR) welcomes one well-behaved family pet (dog or cat) with a pet fee of $25 per house plus tax in our Roadhouse and Humdingers houses. Your pet must be declared during guest registration. State guidelines for service animals apply, but service animals are free of charge at all LPR. The following guidelines have been established to protect the comfort of all of our guests: 

• 
  No more than 1 pet not to exceed 40 lbs per house. 
• Houses with a pet will be charged $25 in addition to any regular cleaning fees.
• Your dog may be left unattended in your house. However, if you leave your house with your pet unattended in the room, the pet must be in a crate or pet carrier while you are gone.
• Pets are permitted in the common areas of the campground while on a leash with an adult owner. Your pet must be on a leash or in a pet carrier when traveling to and from your house. 
• Please use waste bags to clean up after your pet. 
• You are responsible for the cost of repairs due to damages caused by your pet and the loss of revenue due to noise complaints about your pet. In the event of a problem, you may be asked to leave LPR without a refund. 
• Service animals are welcome at LPR at no additional charge. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, a service animal is limited to any dog or miniature horse that is “individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other cognitive disability.” 
• According to Federal ADA guidelines, animals whose sole function is to provide emotional support, comfort, therapy, companionship, or crime deterrence are considered pets and are not considered service animals.

The Longleaf Trace and Neighbors

LPR loves being a part of the Longleaf Trace and puts the safety and right of way first to all trace users and neighbors. Please take extra caution as you cross the Trace when entering or exiting LPR. Please take extra time to look both ways before crossing and always yield to the traffic on the Trace. Also be mindful that Lavel Graves Road is a single lane partly-gravel road with numerous blind spots. Please travel Lavel Graves at idle speed to avoid any near misses and allow plenty of room to pass other vehicles with care.

Directions

Coming off 4th Street, travel north on Lavel Graves Road for .25 miles. When the blacktop road ends you will take a sharp left down a single lane gravel road with many curves and blind spots. Travel about .5 miles and stop at the crossing of the Longleaf Trace. Please take care to yield to any pedestrian traffic on the Longleaf Trace. Proceed over the Longleaf Trace, and the entrance to the Longleaf Piney Resort will be directly on your right. Each house has one parking spot near the house. Any additional vehicles will need to park in guest parking near the entrance of the campground.
