Cancellation Policy

Your booking is important to us and Spoke Hollow Outfitters puts a great amount of care into being preparing for your visit. We offer very limited number of daily visits to Spoke Hollow Ranch, most often your party will be the only party hunting our 1,000 ac property. Our fishing trips are also intentionally limited in quantity to help maintain the high-quality standards that Spoke Hollow offers. Cancellations and “no-shows” can have a significant impact on the financial health of both out Outfitter and Ranch operations. We do not over-book or double book our hunted areas or fishing trips, so if you cancel your reservation, it is often difficult to fill the time reserved for you with another guest’s activities. (If we are able to fill your booking, we will adjust your cancellation charge).

  • Cancellations must be in writing via mail or e-mail and you must receive written confirmation from Spoke Hollow Outfitters of receipt of your cancellation notice.
  • Cancellations received more than 30 days prior to the booking incur a $100 cancellation fee.
  • Cancellations received less than 30 days but more than 14 days prior to the booking have a 35% cancellation fee. The balance of your deposit will be applied to a future booking.
  • Cancellations received less than 14 days but more than 7 days prior to booking have a 50% per person cancellation fee. The balance of your deposit will be applied to a future booking.
  • Cancellations received less than 7 days prior to the booking are charged 75% per person cancellation fee. The balance of your deposit will be applied to a future booking. “No-Shows” are charged the full value of the booking.
  • If you must cancel, you can avoid a cancellation fee by finding a replacement to fill your booking.
  • Rescheduling must occur within one year of the original reservation arrival date or the amount on deposit for the reservation will be forfeited.
  • Spoke Hollow Outfitters reserves the right-to-cancel, postpone, or substitute an alternate activity if weather conditions prevent the delivery of the specific services reserved. Appropriate adjustments will be made to clients’ charges.

Because we’re dedicated to delivering an excellent experience every time you visit, this cancellation policy is necessary. Our policies allow us to make the most of our Outfitters limited availability and provide our guests the most enjoyable experience. Let’s be sure that we communicate and avoid unnecessary situations that result in extra expense for all of us.
