                        A Unique, Self-Help Airbnb Experience

                        The Culpepper Inn is a self-help Airbnb property, where every guest is important to us. While we are not a full-service bed & breakfast, this allows us to offer significantly lower rates while still providing a comfortable, charming, and memorable stay.

                        CANCELLATION
                        As a small, family-run inn, every reservation is special to us, and we prepare for your stay in advance. Because of this, we kindly ask that guests honor the following cancellation policies:

                        • Standard Reservations: Cancellations require at least 14 days' notice to avoid being charged for the full reservation. If you must cancel within two weeks of arrival, we will do our best to rebook your stay, but if we are unable to, you will be responsible for the full cost. We are unable to offer date exchanges for cancellations.

                        • Group (3+ rooms), Long-Term Reservations(extended stays), and local Special Event Dates : A 30-day notice is required. Discounted long-term rates are based on the full stay length—if shortened, the rate will adjust accordingly.

                        • For Peace of Mind: If your plans are uncertain, we highly recommend trip insurance, which is an affordable way to protect your reservation. You can explore options at www.insuremytrip.com.
