Assuming that this is true, it still wouldn't help the host's case one bit. I don't think the host's right to cancel is in question - hosts are well within their rights to cancel when they see a breach of contract or even for no reason whatsoever. The problem is the host brining race into it. Deciding to bring friends and pets to a weekend stay is normal human behaviour, and if this was an entire cabin, as described, the maximum allowed guests was quite likely more than one. There's also nothing to say that pets weren't allowed on the property. And I don't get out that much, but being snowed in with two friends and their dogs doesn't sound like a "giant weekend party". Were they big dogs :-P ?
