Check-in is 4pm - 7pm. If you anticipate arriving after 7pm, please let us know in advance so we can arrange our schedule to greet you.  If you require an early check-in,  we have an Early Bird add-on that allows you to check-in any time after 1pm.

Check-out is 11am. We know it can be difficult for guests to head back to reality; however, if you find yourself  wishing to relax for the afternoon, we have a Lazy Day add-on that will allow you to stay until 3pm.

As a traditional bed & breakfast, a complimentary country-style breakfast is served each morning at the communal dining table or one of our outdoor settings at 9am. Guests may request breakfast to be delivered to their room for an additional fee of $15 per day, per room. If requesting breakfast accommodations, please let us know by 6pm the day before.

No breakfast? If any guests want to sleep in or have other breakfast plans, that’s absolutely fine. Just let us know the evening before, so we don’t overprepare.  

The Pines of Dresden is a smoke-free Inn. For the safety of the property and the comfort of other guests, there is no smoking inside the inn including vaping & e-cigarettes. For 180+ years this property has remained intact, we're just trying to keep it that way while it's under our care. Thanks in advance for your understanding. We have provided ashtrays on the porches, and secluded areas on the property where you are welcome to relax and enjoy a smoke away from other guests.

Violators of our smoking policy will be charged a $200 fine in addition to cleaning and damages. Please see the Damage to Property & Contents section for more information.

Complimentary parking is available at The Pines and large trailers can be accommodated. Motorcycles are welcome and are encouraged to park by the flag pole where the ground is flat.

For guest safety and the safety of our staff, housekeeping services are limited to cleaning and advanced sanitation measures between guest stays. 

The Pines of Dresden staff does not enter occupied rooms unless there is an emergency situation. Fresh towels are available upon request.

At The Pines of Dresden, we never want to say the words, "and that's why we can't have nice things!" So for the ongoing care and protection over the property, we've developed the following Damages Policy. 

From washcloths to demitasse spoons, from pillow swapping to missing rooster napkin holders, we prefer to keep the search parties to a minimum. As such, The Pines of Dresden reserves the right to charge guests the cost of missing items or rectifying damage caused by the guest's deliberate, negligent, or reckless acts to the property, structure, and contents.

Fines & Fees: Any damages done by guests or persons visiting/staying with guests will be the responsibility of the person who made the reservation. The Pines of Dresden guest is responsible & agrees to make restitution for such damage. Should any damage come to light while a guest is onsite or after departure, The Pines of Dresden reserves the right to charge the guest's credit/debit card or send an invoice of fines & fees to the registered guest's email address.

Our Promise: Before we charge the guest's credit card, we will attempt to make reasonable efforts to rectify any damage internally prior to contracting specialists to restore or replace. Therefore, we will make every effort to keep any costs that the guest would incur to a minimum.

No candles, oil lamps, incense, or any open flame devices are permitted in guest rooms at any time. 

Please let us know if there is an accident in the room and something needs to be cleaned immediately so we can avoid permanent damage and related damage charges.

The rental of The Pines of Dresden guest rooms does not include access to the kitchen, other guest rooms, and laundry facilities. The basement and basement porch entry is reserved only for the Oriole Room and Staff. 

If a guest would like to reserve exclusive access to any of The Pines of Dresden common areas please contact us directly for availability and rental fees.
