💡 Other things to note
🐾 Our Dog-Friendly Approach
We happily welcome well-behaved, house-trained dogs over 1 year old to join you. To ensure a comfortable stay for everyone and protect the cabin, please message us with your dog’s age and breed upon booking so we can confirm suitability. A $100 per stay pet fee applies (unless otherwise noted) to help cover additional cleaning. Our official limit is 2 dogs, but let us know if you are bringing 3. We appreciate you ensuring your furry friend treats the cabin gently, as guests are responsible for any damages beyond normal wear. Please use the designated outdoor pet area and help keep the space clean by picking up after your dog. Waste stations may be provided for your convenience.
A friendly note for guests with allergies: This is a dog-welcoming home. While we thoroughly clean after every stay, this may not be the most comfortable environment if you have severe dog allergies.
📝 Helpful Cabin Information
✔ We welcome guests 21 years of age and older to book and be the primary renter.
