Madison Arm Resort is located on Forest Service Road 291 (Also known as Madison Arm Road). Forestry is responsible for grading the road, but it can sometimes be a bit rough & washboard like. The ride is a little smoother if you go a little faster (25-30 mph) where safe to do. Usually the road is considerably better coming in from Highway 191, but sometimes the road from Highway 20 is better. Feel free to contact us for current road conditions before your arrival.

Deposits are non-refundable. However, if you cancel at least 24 hours before your check in date and time, you will receive a credit on your account for the deposit amount to be used for a future reservation. Credit expires 1 year from the original reservation date (may be extended at owner’s discretion).

No Show/No Contact: If you fail to arrive on your scheduled reservation
date and do not contact us, your deposit will be forfeited. If you have
multiple nights reserved, you will have until 10:00 AM the next morning
to notify us of your intentions, or your remaining reservation will be
cancelled.

No refunds for early departure unless agreed upon with management.
