We keep the rules simple and clearly posted so every guest — and every neighbor — has a great stay. Minimum age to book is 21, and we don’t allow parties or unauthorized guests. Smoking and vaping are not permitted inside (air quality is remotely monitored; violations carry a $250 charge plus cleaning costs).
Dogs are welcome with advance notice and a per-dog fee — just keep pets off the furniture and clean up after them. Please follow posted hot tub safety guidelines, and use the bear-proof cage outside for all trash. Check-out is by 10:00 AM; start the dishwasher, clear the fridge, and bag your trash so our cleaning team can turn the cabin around for the next family.
Welcome to our home! We’d like to take a moment to share our House Guidelines which are designed to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort for all our guests! These are common practices that help us provide a welcoming space for everyone.
• Minimum age requirement for booking is 21 years old.
• No unauthorized guests or parties allowed.
• No smoking, illegal substances, or vaping inside the unit. Smoking incidents will result in a $250 charge plus additional cleaning fees. The air quality is remotely monitored.
• Dog Policy: Message us prior to your stay if you’re bringing a dog, as we’ll need a bit more information. As fellow pet lovers, we ask:
– Keep pets off furniture and bedding.
– Pets must be house-trained.
– Please pick up and dispose of all waste.
We welcome dogs at the cabin with a $150 pet fee per dog. Please note that Airbnb’s system only allows us to collect for one dog at the time of booking. If you plan to bring more than one, an additional $100 per dog will be requested after your reservation is confirmed.
• Follow hot tub safety guidelines. We are not responsible for accidents due to improper use.
• Kindly place trash in the bear-proof cage outside and ensure it’s locked to prevent wildlife from accessing it. Do not leave bags of food or trash outside.
• We pay our cleaners fairly and they have a big job to turnover the unit and sanitize. Your appreciation for their hard work can be shown by not leaving excessive mess behind.
• Unauthorized late check-outs will incur a fee of $50 per half-hour after 10 AM to compensate for our cleaner’s time.
• At check-out, we kindly ask for your cooperation: secure your trash, wash or load dishes into the dishwasher, and clear food from the fridge. We’ll take care of the rest.
Please know that any confirmed violations of these rules may lead to reservation cancellation without a refund, along with fines for additional guests, community rule breaches, extra cleaning, and property damage. We are always available to answer any questions you may have about our house rules as we want to make sure that you feel informed and have a wonderful stay with us!
