PET POLICIES:
- Only 2 pets are allowed at $50 per night. Guest must notify Host of pet and pay pet fee.
- Some breeds are known to shed heavily, which can require extra cleaning time and may delay check-in for the next guest. To keep things fair, if your dog is a heavy shedder (examples include Akita, Husky, Corgi, Retriever, Great Pyrenees, German Shepherd, Chow Chow, American Eskimo, and Alaskan Malamute), please note:
• An additional cleaning charge may apply if the time and cost of cleaning exceed the standard pet fee.
• If cleaning takes longer than usual and results in a delayed check-in or refund for the next guest, the guest will be responsible for that loss.
- Pet must be fully potty trained, flea and tick free, and current on prevention treatment.
- No pet on furniture.
- Never use human towel for pet.
- Do not leave pet alone in the house unless pet stays in a crate and is fully crate trained.
- Guest must clean up after pet both indoor and outdoor. If Guest needs cleaning assistance, please contact Host.
- Guest must keep pet quiet. Continuous barking is not acceptable.
MUST-KNOWS BEFORE YOU BOOK:
- If you have a credit card with travel insurance, use it to book. Otherwise, we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for peace of mind.
- The primary guest must be at least 21 years old.
- The cabin is only decorated for Christmas from approximately mid Nov to late Jan. Please contact us if you want to have it on earlier or later than that.
- There are three flights of stairs from Level 1 to Level 2 and two flights of stairs from Level 2 to Level 3.
- Several short portions of the road to the cabin is moderately steep. This is very common for mountain cabins which offer spectacular views in return. During winter, four-wheel drive or snow chains are recommended.
- Our driveway is steep and curvy as the cabin is built on a slope (see picture in listing). We will send you tips to help you park like a Ski Mountain local! Our previous guests found it very helpful and have no problem with parking so far.
- Driveway parking at the top is limited to 2 sedans. If your cars are larger, you can park on the lower section of the driveway or across the street.
- You must inspect the home on arrival and report any cleaning issues that same day. All other issues must be reported immediately when they occur. We do not issue refunds for issues reported after check‑out or for incidents that occurred days earlier but were not reported promptly.
