Cancellation Policy

In the event you need to cancel, please note that all deposits are non-refundable.  However, we encourage you to reschedule your stay, subject to availability, to which your deposit can be applied.

Occupancy Limits

Occupancy limits are one of our most important policies because they are set by the Washington State Department of Health.

Housing Occupancy Limits

  • Guest House 1 (green house) 10 people
  • Guest House 2 (brown house)  6 people


Property Occupancy Limits

When exceeding the maximum occupancy of the houses, we offer several options.  RVs, campers and tents are allowed for extra guests under the following conditions when the houses exceed their maximum occupancy:

  • RVs and campers will incur a $25 per night or $150 per week per vehicle fee
  • Guests sleeping in tents will incur a $10 per night or $50 per week per person fee
  • Both houses must be rented
  • Guests are responsible for their own linens

Please note that these fees apply when the maximum occupancy has been met or an RV needs a hookup.  It does not apply, for instance, if the RV is your method of travel and no hookup is required as you will be staying in the house.

These policies are strictly enforced.  Violations of these policies may result in additional fees.

Planning Your Event

Naturally, we are thrilled you want to use our location to host an event.  There are a few things you must know so that it will go smoothly.

  • We require a 50% non-refundable deposit at all times for large parties.
  • The number of people attending must be no more than 30 including those staying in the houses.  This is the absolute maximum load (think water, utilities, parking, etc.) these historical houses can support.  If you need to have event for more than 30 people, we recommend using one of the facilities in Port Gamble.

 

Smoking

Guest rooms and all indoor/outdoor common areas are designated as smoke-free.  Washington State law prohibits smoking within 25 feet of doorways and windows that open and provide ventilation.  Please use the appropriate receptacles placed outside of the houses.

 

Check in/out Times

Check in is after 3 pm.   Check out is by 11 am.  Guests checking out after 11 am will incur a half day charge at the daily rate of their accommodation.

 

Town Events

It is  possible, especially during Spring and Summer weekends, that events such as festivals will be held in Port Gamble.  Please be aware that we have no control over when and where the city will hold an event.  A city event can be held up to 50 feet from the houses.

If you have concerns about the date of your event, please view the Port Gamble Events Calendar or contact the Port Gamble Events Coordinator at 360.297.8074.

 

Pets

We do allow pets with prior approval.  We charge $10 per night flat rate ($50.00 maximum) to accommodate up to two of your canine family members.  However, the following conditions apply:

  • Only dogs are allowed.
  • Up to two dogs are allowed.
  • Pets are permitted with prior approval only.
  • Pets are not allowed on any furniture, or beds,  at any time.  Any evidence of pets on furniture will incur extra cleaning fees.

  • Pet owners are responsible for cleaning up any/all pet refuse.
  • Pet owners must not allow pets to disturb other guests.
  • All pets must be up to date on rabies vaccinations and all other vaccinations.   Heart worm preventative is highly recommended.  All pets are to be treated with Advantage or similar topical flea and tick repellent three (3) days prior to arrival.  Fleas and tick are common in this area and can cause harmful/fatal illness to humans and pets.
  • Do not use bath towels, or linens,  for your pet.  Use only the complimentary pet towels provided at check-in. Should you need more, please ask.
  • Do not bathe your pets inside the houses.

  • Return all furniture (indoor and outdoor) and items to their original locations.
  • Place all dirty dishes in and start the dishwasher.
  • Garbage must be bagged and placed inside the appropriate containers outside of each house.  Make sure the lids are closed securely and do not leave any garbage outside of the containers.
