# Dogs

House rule

Dogs are welcome everywhere on the property — every cabin, every riverside site, the RV row. The cabins carry a $30 flat cleaning fee for the whole visit, however many come along; camping with a dog costs nothing extra.

## The policy

Dogs are welcome in every cabin, on the porches, at every riverside site,
up on the RV row, and down at the riverbank with you. There is nowhere on
this property a dog cannot stay.

The only place a dog costs anything is a cabin — $30 flat for the whole
visit, however many come along — and that is a cleaning charge, not a
surcharge for the dog. Camping with a dog is free. Tick the dog box when
you book a cabin, or just say so on the phone, and the fee goes on the
receipt with everything else.

## The river

The East Fork runs the whole length of the property, and the bank is where
the resort's own dogs spend their day. In spring runoff, roughly May into
June, the water comes down high, fast and cold; by late summer it has
dropped and the shallows are where most dogs end up. Use your own
judgment with a small dog and a strong current, the same as anywhere in
the Sierra.

## Fees and fine print

**A flat $30 for the whole visit — one fee, however many dogs**, added to
your receipt when you book a cabin. It is charged once per stay, not per
night and not per dog, and it is there because the room has to be cleaned
after — it is a cleaning fee, not a charge for the dog.

**Camping with a dog is free.** The riverside sites and the RV row take
dogs at no extra cost; there is nothing to declare and nothing to pay. If
you're traveling with more than a couple, or with a dog that needs
particular handling, call ahead at (530) 694-2229.

The resort keeps four dogs of its own — Carson, River, Lila and Lilly — so
yours will be in company.

## Beyond the property

Bears, coyotes and mountain lions live in this country, so keep a dog
leashed after dark and keep food put away. Beyond the fence the county is
mostly public land and there is a great deal of it to walk. We don't print
a trail list here because conditions and post-fire closures change through
the season — ask at the counter instead, and you'll get somewhere that is
open this week.

Dogs stay in the cabins — all seven of them, a flat $30 for the visit
however many come. [Check dates and book](/book), or call
(530) 694-2229 and we'll tell you which cabin suits a dog best.
