After-all, they are a part of the family. However, we do charge a $150 non-refundable pet fee, due to the excess amount of pet hair that comes with pets, we must spend more time deep cleaning the home than what we would with guests with no pets. This is a flat fee & includes up to 2 pets. Any additional pets after that will be an additional $50 charge. We ask that you simply mention you are bringing your fur baby along & we will make the appropriate adjustments needed to book, if you have not already done so in the booking process. If you do have pets, dogs specifically, & are contemplating other Airbnb’s in the area you should know that Dean’s Retreat has a nice fenced in yard for those of you who want to allow your pets to roam off the leash worry free, as well as an outbuilding with a doggy door where your pet can get in out of the weather. There are also food/water bowls, dog beds, crates & treats! We by no means discourage pets, we just ask that you be mindful of your pets behaviors & remember they are guests in the house the same as you are. Hope to meet you & your fur babies on your next visit to Marlinton! ABSOLUTELY NO EXOTIC OR FARM PETS!
