Dog Policy

The Little Cabin Retreat is dog-friendly. We invite a maximum of two (2) well-behaved dogs to accompany you during your stay. Dogs must be leashed on and off property. New Hampshire has a leash law.
Please leave pups that scratch, chew, or bark excessively at home. Dogs eligible to stay at our tiny cabin must have no bite history. Certain breeds may not be accepted. Dogs must be crated when left alone in the cabin. We ask that dogs be well-groomed and that owner’s bring a blanket or bed, so that the dog doesn’t use the cabin bedding or furniture.
Please contact us at the time of booking to add a dog to the reservation. There is a non-refundable pet fee of $125 per dog. This fee is not included in the nightly rate and must be paid at time of booking.

A $50 clean up charge will be applied if our cleaners have to remove any feces from around the cabin. There will be a $75 clean up charge if our cleaners have to remove excess dog hair from the cabin, furniture, or linens.


Snow Storms

The Cabin is located in the mountains and subject to potentially large snowfalls. The location is rural and the Cabin driveway and walkway to the front door is plowed and shoveled professionally. We cannot control what time of day the plow comes and it's safe to assume the larger the snowfall, the longer the plow delay. The plow may not come for smaller snowfall. A shovel and sand/salt are provided for your convenience. Please monitor weather forecasts prior to your arrival.
