1. Eligible Pets
a. Well Behaved Pets are Welcome:
Only well-behaved dogs are considered eligible cabin guests. We are sorry but because of insurance/liability, we cannot accept Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Doberman Pinscher or other types of potentially dangerous pets. We apologize that we cannot allow cats due to allergies. We need to know what type and size of dog(s) you wish to bring, and how many. The maximum number allowed is 2.

b. Housebroken
Only well behaved, HOUSEBROKEN pets over the age of one (1) year that socialize well with people and other animals, are welcome.

If your dog has a chewing problem or if you have a male dog that marks his territory, there is a kennel not too far from the cabin that will welcome your dog, but we cannot.

2. Rates For Pets
A rate of $15.00 per pet per night is charged. A second pet is charged at the rate of $10 per night. 

3. Pet Damages and Deposits
An additional $100 damage deposit is required. The entire deposit amount of $300 (or $350 during holidays) is fully refundable after inspection, assuming there are no damages. However, if pet damages occur and exceed the deposit, the pet owner will be responsible for any and all costs to restore the damaged property to original condition.

4. Rules
We all love our pets, but our rules are designed with the non-pet owner in mind. We ask that you step into the shoes of a non-pet lover who follows after you and your pet depart. We clean carefully, but we require that you leave the cabin as you found it.

a. Leash
There are lots of areas to run on the property but be careful as your pet can become lost. It is recommended that you keep pets on a leash at all times when outside of the cabin (except on rear deck).

b. Pet Sanitary Requirements
Bring sufficient supplies to clean up after your pet including:
-- Pet hair/lint removal device
-- Sheets to cover furniture and/or beds
-- Pet clean-up supplies
-- Pet Crate (if your pet exceeds 70 lbs. or have more than 1 pet)
Please be extra vigilant in cleaning up if you’ve stayed with a pet.

We take a big risk keeping our cabin pet friendly and can only do this if our pet-friendly cabin remains “friendly” to future guests, both with and without pets.

Nobody wants to step into something left behind from a previous pet. We expect you to scoop up pet droppings outside and dispose of them properly.

c. Clean Pet Guests Are Welcome
Please bathe your dog(s) before traveling to reduce shedding and pet odors. On muddy days, wipe paws before entering. 

d. Crate Your Pet
Do NOT leave pets unattended in the cabin. Please contain or crate pets when you leave the cabin. Traveling is stressful to even the most even-tempered and well trained pet and they can act unpredictably when left alone in an unfamiliar place.

Do NOT leave pets outside on the deck when you leave the cabin. Unattended pets in strange environments can do severe damage to railings, outside furniture, doors, etc.

A secure crate with a familiar blanket from home is the best and most calming environment for your pet during your extended outings.  There is a crate at the cabin which you may use (fits dogs up to 70 lbs.).

e. Pet Pests.
All pets must be on a flea and tick program and be pest-free.

f. Protect the furniture
We have red clay soil and are in a rural area which increases the likelihood that pets will track mud and dirt into the cabin. If you like to let your pet on the furniture, please bring a sheet or cover with you for the sofa, beds, etc., and keep it on at all times. Cover any furniture and beds your pet will be allowed on.

Never allow your pet to sleep on beds, sofa, chairs, or bed spreads unless they have been covered with your own covering.

g. Pet Hair
ALL dogs shed -- some more than others. Please remove pet hair from all surfaces.

There is a vacuum in the cabin, please vacuum visible pet hair from floors. Also, if your pet sheds, please use one of the many types of lint rollers to remove hair from surfaces. You can find them at any grocery store or drug store.

h. Departure
On the day of departure:

-Use the vacuum provided to remove any pet hair in the cabin.
-Remove pet hair from other surfaces.

i. Pet Etiquette
Please observe property pet etiquette when at the cabin.
