Or stroll to the heart of charming Dunsmuir in 10 minutes. Here, you’ll find buildings from the early 1900's and a bevy of restaurants.

Other things to note

PRIVACY NOTICE
Access to the garden yard is exclusive to the Birch Tree Garden guests only. Our staff is courteous at maintaining the highest level of privacy possible to our guests. The yards are regularly maintained by our groundskeepers and the housekeeping team which will require access through the yards.

QUIET HOURS
Thank you for observing our quiet hours between 10:00 pm and 7:00 am. This ensures the peace of the neighborhood and our standing as courteous neighbors. Although our guests agree to follow quiet hours, you may hear the upstairs guest walking during your stay. Between the hours of 11:00 am and 4:00 pm, you may hear the nearby laundry room being used by the cleaning team during the upper level turnover.

TRAINS
As a historic railway town, Dunsmuir has trains that pass through 4-5 times a day. The earliest train comes around 9:00 am while the last one comes during the night. While you may faintly hear a train while inside the house, they are not disruptive to most people. Please reach out if you have any questions – I’m happy to help.

PETS
We’re happy to host your furry friends. We can accept up to two dogs or cats for a nominal $20 fee per stay. All pets must be house-trained.

TRASH DAY
As our trash day is on Thursdays: an employee usually comes to the house on Wednesday evenings to roll our outside trash bins to the street. The bins are then returned near the front porch on Thursdays. One less thing for you to worry about!

GUEST LIMIT
Our Birch Tree Mountain Getaway can accommodate up to four guests total. To minimize wear and tear on our home, outside guests are not allowed. The second unit may be available to rent for those who have large groups, please inquire.

SMOKING
To keep our home fresh and clean for everyone, smoking is not permitted inside. If smoke is detected, a $300 fee will be applied to your reservation. You can, however, smoke in the backyard (please close the sliding glass doors and windows).

PARKING
Our driveway is available for you to use for one car. Please park in the driveway on days when snow falls so our street can be plowed and you don’t get snowed in. Please note that the other rental may have a guest and they will also need to park in the driveway.

Additional Parking/Snow Removal:
Additional cars can park on the street, except when snow is expected. Snow removal generally takes place when we’ve accumulated approximately three inches of snow on the ground. On street parking is prohibited during snow removal, therefore, vehicles left on the street may be subject to tow at the owner’s expense (Municipal Code 10.04.010). Snow plows will complete a minimum of two passes down each side of the street in order to keep travel lanes open to safe passage. Residents/Guests are asked to stay informed about forecasts of snow accumulations and to plan accordingly.
Designated Parking Areas: Limited parking is available at the South City Hall parking lot, North City Hall parking lot and at the community building in North Dunsmuir. These areas are for temporary use during snow storms.
