Pet Fee: We Have a $25.00/Pet/NIght Pet Fee. Airbnb's system makes note of dog, it does not collect this fee so it will be invoiced along with 7.5% WA sales tax via the Resolution Center. No other pets besides dogs are allowed. Dogs may be allowed with prior permission. Guests agree to conform to the following Dog Policy:
o Dog is non-aggressive to caretakers or anyone else who may happen to be working on the property.
o Dog is friendly with other dogs, as the neighborhood dogs sometimes come over to play in the meadow. Dogs -- "Bruiser" is a retired resident dog who has free-range of the property. He is very social and loves to be loved. Because of his age, he doesn't visit as often as he used to, but loves our guests (both human and canine) but may seem intimidating because of his size. You have the option of interacting with him or sending him "home." Keeping the gate at top of the stairs shut will keep him off the stairs and out of the treehouse. Sometimes joining Bruiser in the "Meet and Greet" duties is "Loki" our neighbors' yellow/white dog. Although the dogs are friendly and social, we suggest parents caution and supervise their children about how to interact (or not) with dogs not known to them just as you would with city dogs.
o Dog may go in the treehouse but must stay on the main floor and is not permitted to get on the furniture. Also Dog is not permitted on the second floor, in the master bedroom suite, on the bed, in the shower, nor in the hot-tub.
o Guest assumes full responsibility for cleanliness of or damage to the treehouse/property as result of dog's occupancy, and any risk to dog if allowed to run outside without leash (eg. getting lost in the woods).
o Guest affirms that female dogs are not in heat. If Dog goes into heat during the stay, Dog is to be confined to the deck, and not allowed into the house. Guest is to supervise Dog when on the grounds and accepts responsibility for any consequences of their dog being in heat.
o Guest accepts liability for any damage or loss whether in and around the treehouse, to the property of the treehouse keeper(s), or to neighboring properties.
o Guest accepts liability for any action of the dog which results in bodily harm to another person or the farm animals while on the treehouse property.
Occasionally, our caretaker may need to enter the tree house for repairs or routine maintenance. Except in case of emergency or to prevent one, we will restrict our entry to times when you will be absent or for which you give us permission to enter.
