What if I need to cancel after making a reservation?

By Elizabeth Arneson, About.com

Question: What if I need to cancel after making a reservation?
Answer: Each inn has its own policy on cancellations. These policies are most often detailed on the inn's web site. It is always wise to understand a bed and breakfast's cancellation policy before you make a reservation.

Generally speaking, as long as you cancel far enough in advance you should be able to obtain a full or nearly full refund.
