Policies

Covid-19 Policy

Covid requirements to stay at the Notch Hostel are stated here.

Dog Policy

We are dog friendly and welcome dogs at the Notch! Canine guests are $20/dog/night, you MUST call ahead to reserve as we only allow a certain number of dogs per room and per night at the hostel. You must call or email us directly to reserve a space for your dog. Dog-friendly accommodations here include: Pinkham Room, Carter Room, Bear Notch Cabin, tenting, Carrigain Cabin.

  • There is a large open crate and dog bed that you can use if staying with your dog in the Pinkham Room, a shared bunk room. If you have a lively dog, crating them at bedtime will help other guests feel more comfortable sharing a room with a dog (and prevents the dog from visiting guests on other bottom bunks in the middle of the night :-)).
  • Please leash your dog while in the hostel.
  • No dogs on beds or furniture.
  • Please bring dog waste bags and dispose of dog waste in our outdoor silver trash can.
  • If you leave the room or the hostel, you must bring your dog with you. Dogs left unattended will result in a $100 fee.
  • Owners are responsible for any damage caused by their dog.
  • Dogs who are unsafe or create chronic disturbance will be asked to stay outside (summer) or leave (winter).
  • Please leave your dog in the car during initial check-in.

Service dogs: If you are bringing a service dog, please notify us; exceptions apply. Please note that lying about your dog being a service dog may result in a $100/night charge and bad karma. Please respect those who truly need service dogs; do not claim your dog is a service dog if it is not.

Minors Policy

Minors under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.  If you are bringing a minor under 18 years of age, you are required to book a private room or book an entire bunk room for your party. Children under 8 years of age are not permitted to stay in the hostel.
