REVISIONS & CANCELLATIONS: Changes may be made to reservations up until 60 days prior to arrival. Within 60 days of arrival, there will be a $75 charge for changes to reservations and cancellations.

RESERVATION SCHEDULE: WBC has a long history of early sellouts, but our room block at Seven Springs is substantially larger than past guarantees. Nevertheless, to ensure that our guests have adequate opportunity to make reservations, rooms will be reserved only on the following schedule.

  • as of Aug. 10, 2015 – Stays of 5 nights or more
  • as of Feb. 1, 2016 – Stays of 4 nights or more
  • as of May 15, 2016 – Stays of 2 nights or more
  • as of June 15, 2016 – Single Night stays (hotel rooms only)

CONDOMINIUMS: A wonderful feature of Seven Springs is the availability of nearby condominiums on the property that can be rented for stays of two days or more once reservations are accepted for stays of that duration as per the above schedule. These are available in varying sizes of one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom units for the daily rate of $129 per bedroom. 

Guests who can group together with friends and family to cohabit these units will find these accommodations most welcome given their inclusion of kitchens and common living room areas that can enhance your visit. While having access to a car is recommended for condo rentals, it is not required as free shuttle service is available on property around the clock. 

Even when the hotel website lists no vacancies, condo rentals are available. Call 1-866-437-1300 to speak to a reservationist about the options. 

Multi-bedroom condos are rented to one individual who is responsible for payment for all bedrooms in that unit. Individuals getting together to share a condo, need to elect one amongst themselves to handle the payment for the entire group. To aid those looking for roommates or other groups to share a condo, contact acd@boardgamers.org to have your contact information listed on this page as looking to share a condo. Indicate your intended length of stay and notify us to remove your contact information once your needs are met.

CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT: Hotel check-in time is 4 PM. Check-out time is 11 AM. A $50 surcharge is added to late checkouts.

SMOKE FREE FACILITY: The resort—inclusive of all hotel rooms, cabins, chalets, hallways, lobbies, meeting rooms, lounges and dining areas—is “smoke-free”. Our smoking guests may request ashtrays from the front desk for use on hotel lodging room balconies.

PROHIBITIONS: No alcoholic beverages may be brought into any licensed function room within the resort. The hotel must dispense all such beverages on the property. Similarly, outside food and beverage is limited to consumption in guestrooms and not allowed in meeting space. For the safety of our guests, no cooking of any sort is allowed in hotel rooms, suites or function rooms.
