We understand that your furry friends are a part of the family, and we welcome well-behaved pets at our property. Our pet fee is $50 per pet, and we kindly request that you keep your pets on a leash and under control during your stay. While we are pet-friendly, please note that our insurance restrictions prevent us from hosting certain breeds such as Pit bulls, Dobermans, German Shepherds, Wolf hybrids, and Rottweilers. Additionally, pets must not be left unattended, especially when guests are off the property, and they should not be allowed on furniture. To ensure a comfortable stay for all guests, we ask that you pick up pet waste and dispose of it properly. Please, no more than two pets per cabin, or deluxe suites. Service animals are always welcome, and owners can choose whether or not to pay the pet fee, provided they present an official service animal registration certificate for our records.

The Westmoreland at Fort Austin property was owned by Westmoreland Coal Company. They purchased the property in the mid 1970s with the idea of building a belt line to carry coal from the mine site, 3 miles up Stevens Gulch Road, down to their railroad loadout facility across the highway from Fort Austin. The main lodge on Fort Austin was used as Westmoreland’s local office, executive housing, company parties, events and meetings for many years. It was used by subsequent owners for some type of ritual gatherings, complete with stone amphitheater and bonfire circle. The cherry orchard on Fort Austin was managed by Stahl Orchards until the trees eventually died from neglect. Over the years the property fell into disrepair; it went through bank seizure, foreclosure, and was eventually auctioned off. Tim had the foresight to see a diamond in the rough. The property was in such rough shape, the utilities so damaged, and the structure so in need of repair that it took a year to get electricity, heat and water turned on. Another year was spent repairing the structure to make the house livable.
