Parking: We provide parking for one car per room. Please call if you need help with additional parking options.

Smoke-Free: All rooms are non-smoking. Smoking is allowed outdoors.

No Pet Policy: Chapter House does not accept or allow any pets in the rooms. As pet lovers, we understand it can be difficult to leave part of the family at home and can recommend local kennels if needed. Resident pet: We have a resident dog; his name is Thumper, and he is a small silky terrier. After breakfast, you can find him visiting guests, playing, or resting in the Main House.

How Chapter House Honors Your Reservation

Larger or city hotels often practice what is known as overbooking, selling more rooms than they actually have, and always counting on cancellations. Small hotels and inns, like Sesuit Harbor House, never overbook rooms. We guarantee your reservation. We have designed and implemented our cancellation policy to ensure that your room will be available for the dates you reserved. This policy is explained when each reservation is made, whether by phone or online, presented on our website, and it is a part of the written confirmation. We understand that certain life events occur and prevent guests from honoring a reservation made with us. We strongly encourage guests to look into travel insurance options when making any vacation plans and reservations. Unfortunately, we are unable to make exceptions to our cancellation policy.
