We welcome well-behaved, house-trained dogs (up to 2, for a fee of $30/night for each pet) and they will love exploring the property (at least ours does). Please ensure dogs are listed on your reservation to avoid a financial penalty. If more than one dog, please inform the owner so the additional fee can be added.
