Cleaning Procedures
Please be respectful of communal spaces and keep your personal items in your cabin whenever possible. Cleaning up after yourself and keeping communal areas accessible to all guests is greatly appreciated.
Dishes should be thoroughly washed, dried, and put away upon departure. All dishes in the cabin upon arrival must be put away in the cabin upon departure.
At the end of your stay, please gather all towels and place them in the shower area of the cabin. Linens and pillows can stay on the beds.
In an effort to minimize our environmental impact, laundry is done only upon the completion of your stay at ROAM Beyond. This means our guest experience manager will not replace towels or linens unless necessary or otherwise requested. We appreciate your understanding (as does Mother Earth).
Pet Policy
We love pets, so bring your adventure pals to enjoy and explore a dog’s paradise! Please be good stewards of the area and habitat by cleaning up after your pets and being mindful of barking. Upon arrival, you will be provided with our pet policies, as well as some poop bags. Note: Pets cannot be left unattended in the cabins.
Our pet policy is a unique part of what we offer. We allow pets to be off leash if owners are completely confident in their dog's temperament around other dogs, people, children, and wildlife that frequent the property. If any of these stimuli create the potential for unpredictable behavior, then we kindly ask that owners keep their pets on leash at all times. The last thing we want is for someone to feel uncomfortable about their own safety, or the safety of their family which includes their own animals. We believe everyone should be able to enjoy the wide open spaces on ROAM's property, and will always do everything we can to ensure people and animals can explore safely.
Note, many of our onsite staff have pets who will be adhering to the same pet policy as guests. Fortunately, staff dogs are comfortable on the property and always well-behaved around other people, children, animals, and wildlife. If they weren't, we would not allow them to be off leash.
Pet Cleaning Fee
Most of our cabins are pet-friendly, so please let us know if you would like to bring a pet to our site. Our pet cleaning fee is $50 per pet. If you have severe pet allergies, please let us know.
When Leaving Your Cabin Unattended
We want you and your belongings safe at all times. Even though we’re in nature, when you’re away from your cabin, we encourage you to close and lock the door and windows, and close all rooftop vents while you’re out.
In the Event of an Emergency or Accident
Remember, you are in a remote area, emergency services may take longer to respond, but always call 911 if needed. For any damage or issues, please contact your Guest Experience Manager or email us.
Finally, please enjoy the space responsibly and most importantly HAVE FUN!
