Please note that though we do take dogs - we charge an extra fee for more than one dog, so please accurately let us know how many.
We normally do not take cats. If you have a cat and wish to stay, we might take a well behaved cat with an extra fee so that we can shut the property down to run air filtering and deep cleaning of cat dander.
