Traveling With Pets

Pets that are clean and flea free are most welcome but must be past the chewing phase. Pets are permitted to enter the house and stay on non-carpeted areas. Pets are not permitted into the carpeted bedrooms for hygiene reasons.

One large or two smaller dogs are permitted per stay. If your furry friend prefers the great outdoors there is a chain dog run adjacent to the homestead for your pet to stretch their legs. The house yard is also securely fenced for children and pets to roam freely and safely around the lawn area.

Naturally, we expect you to pick up after your pet, and provide scooper and bags for this purpose. Please be aware that any additional cleaning required from pets or damage caused to furniture or fittings will incur additional charges on your credit card.
