Cancellation & Pet Policy
The full rental terms for stays at Peace of Joy Acres.
Pet / Animal Policy
Peace of Joy Acres is a "Humans Only" property with a strict no-pet policy. This is maintained due to the needs of guests and some owners who are sensitive to pet dander and other allergens.
Several pet-friendly accommodations are available within 20–30 minutes of Peace of Joy Acres, as well as an excellent local kennel. We are happy to provide referrals upon request.
Platform Cancellation Policy
If you book through platforms such as Booking.com, Airbnb, or VRBO, the rental agreement you sign with that platform overrides this agreement. Please review it carefully. See also our Holiday Cancellation Policy below.
For VRBO bookings, a 10% fee will be deducted to cover administrative costs and credit card processing fees incurred by Peace of Joy Acres. If you wish to recover the platform's "guest fee," please contact that platform directly, as these funds are not paid to us.

Refunds
We are committed to providing guests with an enjoyable and memorable stay. If any issue arises during your visit, we will make every reasonable effort to resolve it promptly.
Refunds will not be issued for:
- Dissatisfaction with the property you selected.
- Items or amenities not meeting your personal expectations.

Peace of Joy Acres LLC reserves the right to issue refunds by check rather than credit card reimbursement.
Travel Insurance
