Pet Policy
We allow pets because we are animal lovers ourselves. We ask that you abide by our Pet Policy so we can continue to offer pet friendly lodging.
We ask that you do not consider bringing any pet into our cabin that may possibly cause any damage or disturbance.
Because we allow pets, a lot of extra cleaning is required to maintain a home that is pet hair and odor free. We request that you do all you can to minimize evidence of your pet's stay. Please brush your dog and wipe off the paws before entering the cabin. Please use our vacuum as needed. If your dog sheds a lot, please use the extra sheets we provide to cover furniture.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

This includes dangers of predators (bears, raccoons, wild dogs, snakes and others) and other conditions (fallen or falling trees, branches, stinging insects, poisonous vegetation, land/rock slides, and others). I understand that pets are not affected by, but can facilitate human contact with poison ivy toxins.
