Are there restrictions if I have an emotional support dog with me?
According to the ADA law, emotional support animals do not qualify as a service animal when staying at a hotel. It does for long term housing such as renting an apartment to live in. As such, we will move you (if necessary and available) to a pet allowed room and charge you a $35/pet/day pet fee (fee subject to change).
Are pets allowed?
We allow dogs (up to 2) in our rooms on the first or second floors only. Make sure you are booking a pet friendly room when making your reservation. There is a $35/pet/day pet fee and you will be responsible for any damages to the room such as pet hair on furniture. We can provide you with an old sheet to reduce such damages. Please ask for one at the front desk. (subject to change).
Are there any restaurants or retail shops within walking distance?
Yes, in-house we have Skadi Restaurant (You’ll want to make reservations for dinner) and have a large diversity of restaurants and retail close by. As the front desk for a map and options.
I’ve heard that you have coyotes and bears roaming around town. Should I be concerned about walking outside after dark?
No need to be concerned. Our little town is in the middle of a beautiful forest and therefore we often see it’s wild animals checking things out. For the most part they are looking for food…and you are not part of their food chain. This doesn’t mean, however, that you should approach any of them. They are wild animals and will protect their young and any food that they have acquired. Enjoy them from afar. If you unexpectedly encounter one, make lots of loud noise. Our bears are black bears, not grizzlies, so will generally go in the other direction away from you. (Be prepared, however, for a possible ‘grunt’ of disagreement) Once the bears come out of hybernation in the spring, they are hungry and looking for easy food. They will break into your car to get that great smelling bag of McDonalds. Make sure to clean out your vehicle of any food, anything that might smell like food or anything that might look like food such as a cooler. We are not responsible for any damage to your vehicle due to a bear breaking in.
During winter months I hear that roads can be dangerous when there are snow storms. What should I prepare for?
When traveling into the Sierra Mountains in winter, it is expected that you will prepare yourself for having to deal with stormy conditions. Some tips: Know your cancellation policy as we do not make exceptions due to your concerns of a storm. Most storms are known in advance and if you don’t want to deal with a storms potential, cancel your reservation before your cutoff day. Carry snow chains which is a requirement by the DOT and know how to put them on. You don’t want to be on the side of the road in a white out ‘figuring’ it out. Put your headlights on, take your time, leave more distance between vehicles and putting on your ski goggles might even make it easier to see.
