What are your room rates and taxes?
Room rates range from $129 to $239 per night, depending on the specific room and dates you select. 
Our Rooms & Rates page provides more detailed information about each room, and our Availability page will display the appropriate room rate when you make a specific reservation request.  
Or simply call our toll-free number to discuss any details and make your reservation!

Rates are based on Double Occupancy (or Quad Occupancy when reserving the Braeburn Cottage with 2 Bedrooms).

There will be a charge of $20 per night for each additional guest, in rooms that can accommodate them.
Please call for details.

Or for children under 2 years old, a "pack & play" crib is available for $10 per night, in the Braeburn Cottage or McIntosh Room.  Please call for crib availability.

If a king bed arrangement is desired in the 2nd bedroom of the Braeburn Cottage, a 2-night minimum stay is required.

Taxes are 7.1%, and will be added to all rates shown above (significantly lower than the 11% taxes charged by motels!)

While we accept one-night reservations most of the year, certain holidays and peak weekends may require a 2-night minimum stay.  Please call for details.

What is your cancellation policy? 
When you reserve a room, we agree to turn away all other requests for the room you select, and guarantee to hold it for the nights you reserve. In return, you agree to pay the quoted rate for the number of nights you reserve.
We understand that changes can occur to your travel plans.  However, since late cancellations affect us so significantly, and we have no control over the weather or your personal circumstances, we cannot assume all of the risk for late cancellations.  Therefore the following cancellation policies apply for each type of reservation:

For Most Reservations (not involving a Holiday or Group Booking):
-  Cancellations within 7 days of your scheduled arrival date will be charged for one night or 50% of the total reservation amount, whichever is greater.
-  Cancellations within 3 days of your scheduled arrival date will be charged the full amount of the reservation.  This includes "no-shows" and premature check-outs.

 For Holiday Reservations:
-  Cancellation of a holiday weekend reservation within 14 days of your scheduled arrival date will be charged one night's stay or 50% of the total reservation amount, whichever is greater.
-  Cancellation of a holiday weekend reservation within 7 days of your scheduled arrival date will be charged the full amount of the reservation.  This includes "no-shows" and premature check-outs. 
-  Holiday weekends include Friday, Saturday, and/or Sunday for the following holidays: Valentine's/Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Columbus Day.

 For Group Reservations:
-  Group reservations (3 or more rooms) require a non-refundable deposit, at time of booking, of 25% of the total reservation amount.  The remaining 75% will be due and payable on the scheduled arrival date. 
-  Guests may make changes to their reservation at least 30 days prior to their scheduled arrival date with no additional cancellation charges.  The deposit paid at time of booking will be applied to the remainder of the reservation.
-  Changes made within 30 days of scheduled arrival, which result in fewer total room nights, will be charged 50% of the room nights cancelled.  This charge will not be applied to any of the remaining reservation.
-  Changes made within 14 days of scheduled arrival, which result in fewer total room nights, will be charged the full amount of the room nights cancelled.  This includes “no-shows” and premature check-outs.  This charge will not be applied to any of the remaining reservation.

Please note:  Any cancellation that does not fall within the above descriptions will be charged a $35 cancellation fee if advance payment was made via credit card.

Is the Apple Bin Inn Eco-Friendly?
Here at the Apple Bin Inn, "eco-friendly" is more than just a buzzword... we try our best to be good citizens of our planet. Our efforts include recycling paper, plastic, metal, and computer components; using energy-efficient "compact fluorescent" light bulbs; using a water-saving front load washing machine; using a high-efficiency dishwasher; using biodegradable detergents and cleaning supplies; mulching or composting of all lawn and garden waste; donating towels to the Lancaster Humane League; donating clothing and linens to Goodwill; using home-grown ingredients and local products in our cooking; and being active members of our township's Village Renewal Committee.  In fact, even our website is "green", because we utilize a web hosting company that powers its servers and offices with 100% renewable energy!
