PET POLICY:
You are welcome to bring along up to two well-behaved, house-trained dogs. We charge a flat $125 for up to two pets. Please describe your furry friends and their behavior/personality when you book!

SEPARATE RENTAL AGREEMENT
Immediately after booking, we'll send a quick link to sign our standard rental agreement (must be completed within 48 hours).
These steps are part of our process and separate from the listing site. You’ll need to complete both the agreement and deposit hold before we can send your door code and check-in info.

TRASH REMOVAL FEE ($150):
For your convenience, we have installed a bear box with both a trash and recycling can. Trash day is every MONDAY morning and recycling is picked up every other MONDAY.

We installed the bear box in the hopes that you won't have to take your trash out with you. But we obviously can't guarantee that the cans will be empty when you arrive. At checkout, please take any trash that does not fit in the bear box with you to the local dump. There is a convenient free trash dump on your way out of town in Avery (more directions/instructions provided after booking).

If you choose to leave overflow trash INSIDE THE CABIN, we will charge a $150 trash removal fee because we will have to pay someone to take it to the dump. If all of your trash fits in the bear box, there will be no charge.

EV CHARGING FEE (per charging station)
We charge $0.50/kWh for charging. Depending on your booking platform we will either charge the credit card we have on file or request the payment through the listing site after checkout.

WEATHER AND OUTAGES:
No refunds for storms, poor regional air quality, or weather-related outages (Comcast, PG&E, etc).

In the winter we strongly encourage you to drive a 4-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) vehicle and/or be experienced with tire chains.
We encourage you to stay informed as best you can about weather forecasts and any planned electric utility outages. The cabin has an automatic generator to supply power to the house during a power outage.

The generator will not, however, maintain broadband internet or cable television if the Comcast substations go down due to a widespread power outage. We may have an emergency internet workaround, but that is not guaranteed. We do the best we can to provide you with full amenities, but rural mountain life has its challenges!

We encourage you to consider purchasing a separate low-cost travel insurance policy that can provide you coverage for last-minute cancellations. As part of the Evergreen Dorrington booking process, we offer you the option to purchase trip insurance from a 3rd party provider.

CELL PHONE COVERAGE
Please note: cell phone reception is limited in the Arnold/Dorrington area. VERIZON (and its partners like Tracfone, and Xfinity Mobile) tends to be the only provider that works.

Located in Arnold, this cabin is in the mountains. Ironstone Amphitheatre and Sierra Nevada Logging Museum are cultural highlights, and some of the area's activities can be experienced at Sequoia Woods Country Club and Golf Course and Chatom Winery. Leland Meadows and Twain Harte Miniature Golf are also worth visiting. Kayaking and fishing offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking/biking trails and mountain biking nearby.
