Pets are not allowed on the bed or any furniture (we kindly ask you not to book please if your dog is unable to stay off the furniture). This can be an active property as its shared with the Gateway Getaway who can potentially be coming in an out often, so if your dog is very noise sensitive it is something to consider when booking. If quietness is something you are searching for it is often mostly quiet but not a guarantee. Your dog needs to be pet and child friendly. We charge a pet fee for the 2 night minimum but anything beyond that we will charge an additional $15 per day (an additional $10/day for a additional pets) as a separate charge you will see billed over AirBnB. The pet fee should cover use, and wear & tear of the space but if its overly dirty there may be additional cleaning costs after your stay requested. Kids: The Getaway House is very kid friendly. If you need a pack and play or high chair we are happy to provide those at no additional fee. If a crib is requested know that it has been well loved and will show those signs but is sanitized properly always. If you request a crib there will be an additional $30 set up fee. There is a baby gate to close off the stairs in the National Park Room closet. Note the stairs are steep and not carpeted so watching and assisting young kids is necessary and required. Wild Life Preserve: this property is right next to one so note its not uncommon to see wildlife. Hosts live nearby: Please note we live 2 houses away from the property and can be easily reached if needed. We also actively manage and do the maintenance work on the property and its not uncommon to see us outside tending to the turnovers of the units or yard maintaining. Activity planning: There are extensive bike and hiking trails that can be accessed within minutes of the Gateway's driveway. As a lifelong Issaquah resident, my family and I can help you design the perfect itinerary, whether it be hiking, mountain biking, brewery hopping, concert going or simply relaxing. We're proud of our Issaquah community and look forward to sharing some of it with you.
