🐾 HoneyBear Hideaways Pet Policy($350 Pet Fee per pet)
We’re happy to welcome pets at our designated pet-friendly cabins. To ensure a safe and enjoyable stay for everyone, please review and follow the guidelines below:
• Up to two house-trained dogs or cats are permitted per stay, each under 75 lbs (no exotic pets).
• Proof of current vaccinations is required at the time of booking for all pets.
• Property-specific pet fees apply. These fees do not cover excessive cleaning or any pet-related damages.
• Pets must remain off furniture and beds and be crated when left unattended inside the cabin. Closing a pet in a room is not a substitute for crating.
• Pets must be kept on a leash and supervised at all times outdoors, in compliance with Tennessee’s state leash law and for their safety, as wildlife is common in the Smokies.
• No pets are allowed in pools, hot tubs, or on outdoor furniture.
• All pets must be healthy, flea-free, and parasite-free before arrival.
By bringing a pet, guests agree to uphold these standards. These policies help us preserve the comfort, cleanliness, and elevated experience that HoneyBear Hideaways is known for.
📱 Cell Service Notice
Please be aware that, due to the cabin’s mountain location, cell phone service can be limited or spotty at times. Coverage may vary depending on your carrier and location around the property.
We recommend keeping this in mind when planning your stay. We want to make sure you know what to expect before booking so you can fully enjoy your mountain getaway! 🏔️🍯🐻
✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and security deposit. We know security deposits are annoying, so to make it easier on you we have 2 options that you can choose between:
Option 1: Damage Waiver ($47) - Have a worry-free stay with coverage for up to $1500 for accidental damage (spills, breaks, mishaps) with no surprise charges. Just relax and enjoy your stay. Coverage up to 10 nights, +$2/day for longer stays, and provided by a third-party insurance company.
Option 2: Security Deposit ($1,000) - Refundable temporary hold that releases after your stay.
To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it's a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of our favorite local spots.
If you have any questions, just message us anytime!
