Other things to note
Bearly Believable extends a warm welcome to your furry friends! We're delighted to be dog-friendly, providing a collapsible crate and dog bowls for your convenience. Please note a $100 pet fee 'per dog / per stay' with a 2-dog maximum.

To ensure a tail-wagging experience for everyone, kindly inform us during booking about your pups. We'll confirm and approve the size and breed. Our yard is already fertilized, so please be a pawsome pet parent and clean up after your dogs, ensuring a tidy space for you and the next guests.

A gentle reminder of our strict NO SMOKING POLICY anywhere on the property. Respect is key, as evidence of smoking may result in substantial fees for outdoor cleanup and smell remediation throughout the house.

During WISP's winter wonderland, we recommend, as strongly as we can, arriving in an all-wheel or 4-wheel drive vehicle for a safe and snow-kissed stay. Your cozy getaway awaits, where every member of the family, including the furry ones, can create cherished memories. See you soon at Bearly Believable!
