🐾Our Dog-Friendly Approach
We love hosting well-behaved, house-trained dogs over 1 year old. Please send us a message with your dog’s age and breed upon booking so we can confirm suitability. A $100 pet fee per stay 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. Some waste stations may be provided for your convenience. A friendly note for guests with allergies: While we thoroughly clean after every stay, please remember this is a dog-welcoming home. If you have severe dog allergies, this may not be the most comfortable environment for you.
