We allow ONE dog per booking. Your dog must weigh less than 50 pounds. If you have a second furry friend you would like to bring, message me before booking. Sometimes exceptions are made depending on size and for an additional fee. Bringing your pet means you agree to the following:
PET RULES:
1. Absolutely no dogs on any furniture.
2. The dog MUST be crated when/if left alone.
3. 100% off all clean up after your pet both inside the cabin (hair) and outside will be done by you. This is not part of the cleaning service.
4. Any and all damage done by your dog will be billed to and paid for by you.
**Please Note**: This cabin is best suited for 6-8 adults max, couples, one family, or two families with small children for a total of 10 guests. 10 adults would likely be uncomfortable due to sleeping arrangements in only three rooms and two bathrooms.
