Other Things to Note:
🐾 Pet-Friendly Accommodations 🐾
We love welcoming well-behaved pups to this property! A few things to know before you book:
• Pet fee: $75 per pet, per reservation. It’s a one-time flat fee, no matter how long you stay.
• Dogs only, please! We cannot host cats or exotic pets at this property.
• Add your pup(s) to your reservation when you book so we can get ready for them.
• Size limit: We can host dogs up to 100 lbs. Every dog is approved case-by-case, so tell us a little about yours (breed, size, age). We love hearing about them!
• 🦮 Service animals are always welcome!
🏡 A Few Guest Responsibilities
• Please keep an eye on your pet and don’t leave them alone in the property for long stretches.
• If your dog will be alone at any point, they’ll need to be crated.
• Pets stay off the furniture and beds unless we’ve said otherwise. (We know, those puppy eyes are hard to resist!)
• Guests are responsible for any damage their pet causes. If that happens, we’ll request reimbursement through the booking platform’s Resolution Center.
• Please help us be good neighbors! Ongoing barking or noise complaints are a house rules violation and may lead to the reservation ending early.
💩 Pet Waste
Please scoop the poop! Clean up after your pet promptly, both indoors and in the yard, throughout your stay. Before you head out, please do one last sweep of the yard, patios, and the rest of the property. If we need to do extra cleanup beyond a normal turnover, we may request reimbursement for that cleaning through the Resolution Center.
📌 A Couple of Important Notes
An unapproved animal (a cat, an exotic pet, or a dog over the size limit) is a house rules violation. Any resulting cleaning or repair costs will be requested through the Resolution Center.
Thanks for helping us keep this home happy for every guest, two-legged and four-legged! 🐾❤️
