Thank you for abiding by our Pet Policies. In order to maintain a comfortable environment for all of our guests and comply with insurance recommendations we have created the following Pet Policy. Even well-behaved pets can act unpredictably in a new or different environment, so for the safety and enjoyment of all of our guests, there will be no exceptions to these policies, so please do not ask. Please make yourself aware of our pet policy before arrival. I will be responsible for my pet(s) and considerate of other guests and the employees/owners of Birchcliff Resort. Guests understand a maximum of two dogs per cabin is allowed. Guests assure that their pet is older than 9 months and is house-trained. Understand there is a $50/night per pet non-refundable pet cleaning fee. I will clean up immediately after my pet, anywhere on the grounds. I agree that an additional security deposit of $100 per pet shall be paid upon arrival and forfeited in the event of damage to property (includes: on the grounds, interior of cabin and area outside of cabin), excessive cleaning required, inappropriate pet behavior, or non compliance of pet rules. I will be responsible for all related costs even if damage exceeds security deposit amount. I agree to report pet damage immediately upon occurrence to facilitate timely repairs/corrections/cleanup. Waiting until checkout to report pet damage can potentially increase my financial responsibility. I understand that the pet(s) shall not be left unattended unless crated. When crated and unattended, Birchcliff personnel will have on file a phone number to reach a responsible member of our party in the case of excessive barking, in which case a responsible member will immediately return and attend to pet. I will keep my pet(s) leashed and under control when outside the cabin. I understand there are no pets allowed in pool area or around main community campfire. I will remove my pet from other public areas if other guests are uncomfortable. I accept all responsibility of my pet(s) and their actions. Birchcliff will not be held responsible for any damage/harm done by my pet, or harm brought to my pet (such as dangers of predators, accidents, loss, runaway, illness, etc.) I understand that pets are allowed in designated cabins only, and I will not allow my pets in any cabin that is not pet-friendly. I will take extra care to prohibit my pet from getting on the furniture or I will use the linens provided to cover up furniture to reduce the need for excessive cleaning.
