WHAT KIND OF LODGING FACILITIES
DO YOU HAVE?
We have 10 guest lodges ranging from 2-20 rooms in them. We also have two private lodging facilities for couples, a Honeymoon Cottage and restored Log Cabin. While every building is different, all rooms have their own entrance, with common hallways and/or stairways to the rooms. Except for the Main building, all rooms have their own private bath. While we do not have air conditioning in any of our facilities, ceiling fans provide cooling comfort during some of the warmest summer temperatures. Some guests prefer to stay in the same room in the same building year after year. Others enjoy trying out each of the different cottages. Every location has its own charm and benefits so it is up to each guest to see which one best matches their needs and preferences. If this is your first time, try whichever one meets your room requirements and then see what other options are available after your first trip. Visit our Rooms & Cottages page for more information.

HOW MANY NIGHTS DO WE HAVE TO STAY?
The majority of our summer guests continue to stay for a full week, Sunday to Sunday. Numerous opportunities for shorter stays or even one night visits are available throughout the season.

HOW DO I MAKE A RESERVATION?
Once you know who is coming and when, just call or use our reservation request form. While the first four weeks of August are traditionally our busiest times, don't hesitate to inquire about space for any part of our season, even at the last minute, since reservation changes regularly occur.

CHECK IN/CHECK OUT:
Check-in time is 3:00 pm. If not occupied the night before, some rooms may be available earlier. On busy summer Sundays, some rooms may not be available until after 3:00 p.m. Please inquire at the Front Desk for the current status of your room.

Check-out time, Monday through Saturday is 2:00 pm. On Sundays, check-out time is 1:30 pm. While we ask that you have your room completely vacated by these times, you are welcome to enjoy Capon’s recreational facilities into the afternoon. Thanks for your assistance in helping our incoming guests begin their Capon vacation. Please check your room thoroughly for personal items before departing.

PEACE AND QUIET/CAPON CURFEW:
So that all may have a restful night’s sleep, we ask that you honor our curfew by returning to your room and being quiet by 11:00 pm. We also ask that you please use headphones with all radios and musical equipment.

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES:
Capon is a great place to gather with friends and socialize. While we do not provide alcoholic beverages in our dining room or allow them in public places, you are welcome to enjoy them in the privacy of your own room or porch.

In keeping with Capon’s family friendly and healthy atmosphere, smoking is now prohibited in all indoor areas, as well as the Main Front Porch. If you do choose to smoke elsewhere, we ask that you be especially considerate of your neighbors.
