WE LOVE PETS! Pets are allowed but we do have strict policies for the safetly and well-being of both our two and four legged guests. WELL-TRAINED pets are CURRENTLY allowed in ALL cabins. With that being said, we also try our best to keep all our cabins clean and nicely decorated so have put in place the following policies….
Pet Fees: $25/day or $125/week per pet
-All pets must be checked in upon arrival, a $250 fee will be charged per non-registered pet to the person booking the cabin along with the daily or weekly pet fee, any pet damages, and any applicable pet clean-up fees. It is YOUR responsibilty to pass this information on to anyone in your cabin who is bringing a pet and make sure all pets in your cabin are checked in.
-Owner of pet must provide credit card information at check-in in case of damages and sign a waiver/pet agreement.
– Pets must be clean, healthy, and free of fleas and ticks. We strongly recommend a quality flea and tick preventative from your vet.
-NO pets over 65 lbs.
-Must submit proof of rabies vaccine prior to visit.
-All pets MUST be crated/kenneled when left alone in your cabin.
–NO Puppies ALLOWED, ALL pets must be fully trained. Pets that have destructive or agressive behaviors, bark excessively, or do not tolerate being crated/kenneled are NOT ALLOWED.
-Any cabins that will have pets must bring BLANKETS (We will still provide sheets, pillows & cases) for ALL the beds in that cabin. We also ask that you bring blankets to cover any furniture your pet might lay on. If at all possible we strongly prefer your pet have a bed for the floor and not be allowed on furniture.
–Pets MUST be leashed at ALL times and cleaned up after both in and out of your cabins, no exceptions. There will be extra charges charged to the owner if we have to do it.
