Dog Friendly Suites

Fernie Lodging Company has designated several Dog Friendly suites at several properties. Be sure to get your dog's treat at check in. We ask that you include your dog when enjoying your stay so it doesn't disturb other guests. A leash is required in the town of Fernie and within Fernie Lodging Company's public facilities. To ensure a positive experience for you and your Dog, as well as other guests, please keep your dog on a leash at all times. for Health and Safety reasons, dogs are not permitted in common areas such as the hot tubs, fitness areas, food service areas, lounges or meeting rooms. Quiet Time for all Guests including pets is from 10:00 p.m. - 8:00 a.m. so everyone has a restful sleep.

There is a $25 Dog charge that covers stays from 1 - 7 days maximum. Additional charges may apply for extra cleaning as a result of accidents, damages to property ( replacement or repair costs) or noise complaints ( including reimbursement required as a result of inconveniencing other Guests).  If dogs are left unattended in suites, Fernie Lodging Company will not be able to provide scheduled housekeeping services.  And again, if noise complaints result, owners may be fined. All dog owners are required to sign a Dog Safety Damage Waiver and Credit Card Preauthorization at check in. .

Dogs found in non-designated Dog Friendly suites will result in fines up to a $500 charged to the Owner and possible eviction with no refund.
