Q: How much is the Getaway pet fee?

It is a flat $50 cleaning fee per stay , regardless of how many nights you book. It is not charged per night or per pet, which makes it very reasonable compared to standard pet-friendly hotels.

Question 1

Do Postcard Cabins allow dogs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, dogs are the only pets allowed, and the current policy lists a maximum of 2 per cabin with a $50 fee per stay. We let them know ahead of time that we were bringing our three small dogs, and we made the space work with a hallway travel mat and a tidy setup. If you have three, contact the cabin before you book.

Question 2

Are Postcard Cabins the same as Getaway?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Getaway changed its name to Postcard Cabins, and the cabins, including the Big Bear location in Running Springs, are now booked through Marriott. It is the same tiny cabin with the big picture window and the fire pit outside, so everything in this post still applies.

Question 3

How much is the Getaway pet fee?

Accepted Answer

It is a flat $50 cleaning fee per stay, regardless of how many nights you book. It is not charged per night or per pet, which makes it very reasonable compared to standard pet-friendly hotels.

Question 4

Can I leave my dog alone inside the cabin?

Accepted Answer

No. Getaway policy strictly prohibits leaving pets unattended inside the cabin or outside on the property. The whole concept of Getaway is slow living and disconnecting together in nature, so plan on keeping your pups with you for all your activities.

Question 5

Are cats or other pets allowed?

Accepted Answer

Currently, Getaway only allows dogs. Cats and other animals are not permitted under their pet policy.

Question 6

How do you handle nighttime potty walks in the woods?

Accepted Answer

Keep a flashlight or headlamp and leashes right by the front door. It gets pitch-dark outside at night, and local wildlife may be around, so always keep your dogs on a short leash even for a quick two-minute potty break.

Question 7

Is a Postcard Cabin worth it?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. You get all the fresh air, pine trees, and campfire vibes of camping without the backbreaking work of pitching tents or dealing with freezing drafts. It gives older dogs a comfortable, joint-friendly rest and gives younger dogs gentle enrichment in nature, making it a truly restorative trip for both humans and pets.
