Where should I store my food?

• There is a dedicated 'food storage' area in the Guest Lounge Area building. Please ask your Glamp Host for more information.
• You can leave your food in a sealed container in your car. Make sure this is smell resistant.

Bear Valley Lodge Four Legged Rules

We look forward to providing a memorable stay for you and your pet, however, to ensure the comfort and enjoyment of our guests, we ask that you observe a few policies during your visit. Please read the following to familiarize yourself with our pet policy:

• Dogs are the only permitted pets
• We welcome all well-mannered and fully trained dogs
• Our pet-friendly rooms are limited and assigned as available at the time of reservation
• Weight restrictions apply to our pet policy up to 2 dogs if each weighs less than 50lbs, dogs larger than 50lbs - one per room
• Additional fees may apply if your dog causes any damage or disturbances for other guests with extensive barking.  We'd hate to ask you to leave the glamping experience, so be sure your dog is well-suited for the environment
• Dogs cannot be left alone in the room/tent
• Owners MUST bring dog bedding – no pets on beds or furniture
•  Due to extra cleaning required after the departure of our 4-legged guests, there is a non-refundable cleaning fee of $25 per night to your guest room account. (For pets that have extensive shedding, an extra $25 may be incurred. Our housekeeping team will review after departure and we will let you know.) We love dogs, we really do, but want to make sure we can create a special experience for every guest that arrives.
• For the safety and comfort of your pet and hotel staff, including housekeeping, staff will enter your room only if: (a) your pet is not present, or (b) you are present and can monitor your pet, or (c) your pet is in a kennel
• Unfortunately, we do not allow dogs to join at the fire pit; they can spook, bark, or become a disturbance 
• Dogs must always be on a leash, as per National Forest rules
