Minimum age to check in — what to expect
Listings for Salishan show inconsistent minimum check-in ages across booking channels: some show 18 while others list 21. Because of this discrepancy, the property recommends guests confirm the current minimum age directly with the lodge before arrival.
Standard check-in begins at 4:00 PM and is available until midnight. Guests may be asked to present government-issued photo ID and a credit/debit card or deposit at check-in.
- Standard check-in: after 4:00 PM (check-in window often 4:00 PM–midnight)
- Confirm minimum age with the property (18 or 21 have both been listed on different sites)
- ID and card/deposit commonly required at arrival
| Item | Typical listing info |
|---|---|
| Standard check-in time | After 4:00 PM |
| Minimum check-in age reported by OTAs | 18 or 21 (varies) |
| Check-in documentation | Government ID + card or deposit |
How many kids can stay free in a room?
Many booking channels list a policy that allows up to four children aged 18 and younger to stay free when using existing bedding in a parent or guardian's room. This reflects the lodge's family-oriented positioning, but exact allowances can depend on the room type and rate when you book.
Because room capacity and bedding vary by room type, confirm the free-child allowance at booking and request a room with a sofa bed or additional bedding if needed.
- Common OTA note: up to 4 children (18 and younger) may stay free with existing bedding
- Rooms with sofa beds (for example: Deluxe Room, with Sofa bed) are practical for families
- Always verify room capacity and any extra-person fees at booking
| Room name (example) | Why families might pick it |
|---|---|
| Deluxe Room, with Sofa bed | Includes a sofa bed for extra sleeping space |
| Traditional Room, Resort View | Two Queen Beds — useful for parents + kids |
| Superior Room, Jetted Tub | King Bed — better for small families who add sofa bed or rollaway (confirm availability) |

Pools and the spa have rules that affect children. Dogs are not allowed in pools; spa amenities and certain spa facilities may be restricted to guests who have booked a spa treatment.
