Pets at Blue Moon Retreat

We welcome dogs & cats (other pets require prior approval) to our Pet Friendly cottages (Chalet: year round; Maples & Sunset: just after Thanksgiving till just before May long weekend) There is no extra charge for pets.

"We opened the door of the Chalet and were so happy to see how clean it was. We walked from room to room in total amazement that such a beautiful, warm and inviting cottage actually allowed animals. As each day passed we were more excited by your lovely Chalet....web site does not really do the Chalet justice."    09/2007

Well over 95% of our guests with pets are a joy to have; they are considerate of our other guests and leave the cottage and grounds in immaculate shape. However, there are the few that act otherwise and it is because of them that we have had to develop and enforce a detailed pet policy. We apologize to the 95+% for any inconvenience.

We know that some establishments provide additional amenities (i.e. drapes, pet beds); but, most of these have an extra charge for your pet. Please help us to keep our no extra charge approach by bringing such extras with you.
