There is some public transportation but not like you would expect in the city. If you need transportation to and from major events or trail heads and you have not rented a car, contact me so that I may secure a mode of transportation for you (one way/round trip transportation, not a rental car, 3rd party service use at your own risk, may charge cash).

Please read it! Rev. 7/31/2019 ****************** 1) No extra pet deposit! 2) No additional booking charge! 3) But, If your pet sheds and our cleaner decides the surfaces need extra care such as fur removal, you do stand to receive an additional cleaning bill for $20 (usually a few days after your checkout). But that's it! We wanted to make it easy and affordable for you and your pet to stay with us! 4) No Pet Bathing in the house! All pet washing must be done outside to care for our plumbing. Pet Policy FAQ: Q: I have a hypoallergenic pet that does not shed, will you waive the pet fee? A: No, sorry, your “hypoallergenic pet” is not an exception to this rule. We have had several of these claims about how these pets are ultra-clean, but honestly, we find they shed just like any other animal. If we have to clean more than we would for a non-pet staying guest, there will likely be the $20 charge. Thanks for understanding! Q: If I clean up after my pet will I still be charged? A: If you clean up after your pet, there’s a good chance there will NOT BE a charge! We don’t charge simply because you bring a pet. Only if there is extra work to do. Q: Will you waive the pet cleaning fee in advance, because we’ll book if you will? A: No. This is the agreement we have with the cleaning company. The charge is directly from the cleaning crew for their labor and materials. We make no money from this. If we did waive this fee for you, the cleaning crew would still need to be paid out of our pocket, so it's like giving your stay a discount because you brought a pet, and that doesn't work out logically. Q: If I disclose I have a pet, won’t you know to charge me the $20? A: We NEVER inform the cleaning crew in advance when a disclosed pet stays at the property. It is all evidence-based, photos are usually taken to justify the claim, and sent along with the invoice directly to us. Q: Do you have additional pet services like grooming or boarding? A: Let us know what you need and we’ll provide you with the contact information for an available independent pet sitter/care provider. Accepted Pets: We love ALL pets! Our northern neighbor has 2 adult labs that generally keep inside "Xena & Bosco" so please mind them. We welcome your cat or dogs to stay with you inside and out. Please do not wash your pet in the shower or sinks, use the garden hose outside (drains will clog with pet hair). Pet owners are asked to keep after their pet's waste and clean up messes in and out. Hired help is brought in to clean and launder after every reservation to ensure a fresh new home for every guest and paid a living wage!
