Dogs are welcome as long as they are social and well behaved. Due to increased maintenance, there is an added charge of $20/night or $100/week, per dog. If your dog has an "accident" indoors, you will be charged for cleaning costs. All accommodations (except Tiny House Almar) are dog-friendly. Dogs are NOT allowed in Tiny House “Almar”. Please note: maximum 2 dogs per cabin or Baker House. Maximum 3 dogs for Guemes House, and Salish House.
Crabbing and Clamming
Crabbing, clamming, and fishing licenses can be purchased at the Anacortes Ace Hardware. Licenses are mandatory and guests caught poaching will be asked to leave. We have some crab pots, shovels and buckets available for guest use (first come first served) but we recommend you bring your own gear. We are happy to guide you through the process if you need it. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
