Pet Policies
Here is a list of our most common pet
related questions:
Can I bring my pet to Stehekin? Does the Ranch allow pets? Can pets accompany me
on activities?
Can I bring my pet to Stehekin?
Yes….but.
While we realize it is important to many people to bring their whole family with
them when traveling, there are some things to take into consideration before you
bring your pet to Stehekin. First off, traveling with a pet limits your
options for arrival in Stehekin. The Lake Chelan Boat Co. only allows pets on
the Lady II boat during the summer, and the animals AND their owners are
required to stay outside on the back deck. This boat is also not the ideal for
folks staying at the Ranch, because it’s arrival in Stehekin does not coincide
with the Shuttle Bus which takes you the 9 miles up-valley to the Ranch. It will
work, but you will have a 1.5 hour wait for the next bus.
Does the Ranch allow pets?
Yes. We do ask that your pet be
well behaved however, and that you can assure us that it will not degrade our
other clients’ enjoyment of our peaceful setting. You will be responsible for
your pet at all times. Leaving a pet inside your cabin while you are away at an
activity is not a good option, as we have had problems with damage and/or
barking while owners are not present. If you are willing to attend to your pet
throughout your entire stay, then we are happy to have them here.
Can pets accompany me on activities?
Generally no. They are allowed to
go on the road and the Pacific Crest Trail. All other trails are closed to dogs.
Animals are not allowed on Rafting, Horseback Riding, or Kayaking trips.
