Dogs and horses are welcome as detailed below and we will do our best to make them feel at home. (However ours are the only cats and they reside in the main house.) We enjoy our animals and know having yours with you can enhance your vacation. However, anytime animals are introduced to a strange situation, things may not go as predicted. If you are bringing a dog or a horse, we require a signed liability release form.
With prior agreement, your dog is welcome in the Log Cabin or the Guest House. The Main Lodge is home to our pets, and we respect their domain by not having visiting pets in the main lodge. Correspondingly, our pets are not allowed in either the Cabin or Guest House.
Please bring your dog's bed so he/she will be comfortable and have something familiar. You are also welcome to use the 80+ acres for walking, running, playing with your pet but please keep them away from the horses. Should there be a problem, we will ask you to keep your dog away from the other animals and with you -- either inside, or in our outside portable kennel, or on a leash.
Please know that our dog, Chester, has the run of the property. Our experience is that he gets along with the visiting pet (usually), or leaves it alone (occasionally). Also there may be another visiting dogs with other guests, so the situation could be confusing for the pets.
Horses
If you are traveling with your horse(s), we can provide "lodging" for one or two as well (again with prior agreement). The beds aren't as comfortable as what we provide for you, but we have 2 large (60ft) sand corrals with water and loafing shed, separate from our horses and with great views lots of room to stretch. The corrals are visible from the main house. Be sure your horse's shots are current.
Horse trailer: Our driveway entrance is up a hill with some relatively tight turns. Please discuss with us any concerns regarding your trailer access. (For reference, we drive a Ford F150 with a bumper hitch two horse slant trailer without any trouble.) But if you're bigger, be sure to talk to us about it.) We have a couple of places near the barn and corrals to park your trailer.
