Traveling with your pet? Read our pet friendly policy below.

Sweetheart’s Retreat

2 Bedrooms:

3 Bedrooms:
Mountain Memories

Our pets are part of our family and we understand that vacations are more enjoyable when we don’t have to leave pets behind in a kennel or at the vet’s (which is often costly). We like to travel with our pets.

We also know how hard it can be to find pet friendly vacation rentals. Part of allowing pets means more deep cleaning to accommodate health concerns of future guests of our cabins.

Also, many cabin rentals fear lost business as some potential guests will never use accommodations that allow pets, and face it, some pets aren’t as well behaved as we think they are, and can cause damage.

Knowing this, we DO want to accommodate you and your entire family, including your pet. But we DO have some guidelines for our guests, which we hope will keep our costs down and will help us keep our cabins pet friendly!

If you are considering staying at Laughing Pines, please review our Pet Friendly Policy below. If you have special circumstances or requests please contact us.

Pet Friendly Policy

1. Eligible Pets
a.Well Behaved Pets are Welcomed:
Only well-behaved dogs are considered eligible cabin guests. We are sorry but because of insurance/liability, we cannot accept Pitt Bulls, Rottweilers, Doberman Pinscher or other types of potentially dangerous pets.
We need to know what type and size of dog you wish to bring, and how many. The maximum number allowed is 2.

b.Housebroken
Only well behaved, HOUSEBROKEN pets over 1 year, are welcomed.
The interior of our cabin is all wood, so if your dog has a chewing problem or if you have a male dog that marks his territory, we are sorry but cannot accept this pet.

2.Pet Damages and Deposits:
If excessive clean-up is required (for example: failure to clean up after pet, hair on furniture, etc.) the pet owner will be responsible for any and all costs to restore the damaged property to original condition.

3.Rules:
We all love our pets and barely notice or aren’t bothered by evidence of their presence; little hairs in corners, on furniture, and other surfaces; muddy footprints; and occasional odors.
Our rules are designed with the non-pet owner in mind. We ask that you step into the shoes of a non-pet lover who follows after you and your pet depart. We clean carefully, but we require that you leave the cabin as you found it.

a. Leash
There are lots of areas to run on the property but be careful as your pet can become lost. It is recommended that you keep pets on a leash at all times when outside of the cabin (except on decks or fenced-in areas.)

b. Pet Sanitary Requirements:
Pet owners must bring sufficient supplies to clean up after pet including;
--Pet hair/lint removal device (provided)
--Sheets to protect furniture
--Pet clean-up supplies (scoopers/baggies provided)
--Pet crate

Please be extra vigilant in cleaning up if you’ve stayed with a pet.

We take a big risk keeping our cabins pet friendly and
can only do this if our pet-friendly cabin remains
“friendly” to future guests both with and without pets.
Nobody wants to step into something left behind from a previous pet.

NOTE: Some dogs like nothing better than to locate
And roll in animal droppings. Please spare our future guests this!

We expect you to scoop up pet droppings outside
and dispose of them outside in the trash cans.
(Scoopers & zip lock baggies have been provided for your convenience.)

c. Clean Pet Guests Are Welcome
Bathe your dog before traveling to reduce shedding and
pet odors. On muddy days wipe paws before entering.

d. Crate Your Pet
DO NOT LEAVE PETS UNATTENDED IN THE CABIN
Please contain or crate pets when you leave the ca
Traveling is stressful to even the most even-tempered and
well trained pet and they can act unpredictably when left alone

DO NOT leave pets outside on the deck when you leave
the cabin. Unattended pets in strange environments can
do severe damage to the hot tub, outside furniture, doors,etc.

A secure crate with a familiar blanket from home is the
best and most calming environment for your pet during your extended outings.

e. Pet Pests.
All pets should be on a flea and tick program.
f. DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE HOT TUB!

g. Protect The Furniture

We have red clay soil and are in a rural area which increases the
likelihood that pets will track mud and dirt into the cabin. If you
like to let your pet on the furniture, please bring a sheet or cover
with you for the sofa, beds, etc. and keep it on at all times.
Cover any furniture and beds your pet will be allowed on.
One sheet is not enough depending on the cabin. You should
protect bed spreads unless they have been covered with your own covering.

h. Pet Hair
ALL dogs shed – some more than others. Please remove pet hair from all surfaces.
There is a vacuum in the cabin, please vacuum visible pet hair from floors.
Also, if your pet sheds, please use the lint roller provided.

i. Departure
On the day of departure:

-Use the vacuum provided to remove any pet hair in the cabin.
-Remove pet hair from other surfaces.
