Things to Keep in Mind While Staying in Pet-Friendly Cabins
In order to book your stay in pet-friendly cabins in Gatlinburg, you need to be prepared to pay an additional fee for each pet. Although most cabins have dogs in mind when setting their rules, they may also allow you to bring domestic cats and birds along for the ride.
Most places have a two-pet limit and breed restrictions often apply. Pit bulls, wolf hybrids, and other potentially aggressive breeds are often barred from staying on the property. Weight limits may also apply.
You will need to remain in direct control over your pets while staying in the cabin by using a leash, kennel, or cage. Voice commands alone are not usually considered enough to manage your pet’s behaviors. Plan to clean up after your pet throughout your stay and prevent them from damaging any part of the property.
When you follow all the guidelines set by the cabin owners, you can avoid extra charges and have a great time on your trip. So, read up on their rules before booking your cabin to figure out if each spot will work for you and your pets.
