  • Is a security deposit required?

    Accidental Damage Protection (ADP) is offered as optional on some booking platforms while automatically included (mandatory) on some platforms. ADP is required and included in Guest pricing provided at the time of booking a reservation on many online travel agencies (OTA’s) and booking platforms such as Airbnb, VRBO, & Booking.com. An ADP is required and included in the rates associated with reservations booked directly on 5RK Ranch Lakeside websites. This approach benefits all parties and is activated in place of a significantly larger security deposit at the time of booking.
    ALL Guests of 5RK Ranch Lakeside MUST activate an ADP with 5RK Ranch Lakeside prior to check-in, or execute a Host determined and approved security deposit if the Guest stay is for 21 consecutive nights or longer.
    For Guest stays of 21 consecutive nights or longer, additional ADP considerations may be required by Host. Host will reach out directly to Guest at time of booking as necessary & applicable.
