Doggy Do's and Don'ts | Everything You Need to Know About Bringing Your Pup to Our B&B

We welcome well-behaved dogs at our property! To ensure a pleasant stay for all our guests, please review and follow these guidelines for bringing your furry friend along: 

  1. Availability: Dog-friendly rooms are limited and subject to availability. Please contact us in advance to make arrangements. 
  2. Daily Fee: We charge $35 per dog per day. 
  3. Owner Responsibility: Dog owners are responsible for any damages caused by their pets during their stay. 
  4. Leash Policy: For everyone’s safety, dogs must be kept on a leash when outside. Not everyone is comfortable around animals. 
  5. Clean-Up Courtesy: Please pick up after your dog. We provide extra plastic baggies to make it easy! 
  6. Room Refresh: We do not offer room cleaning services for dog-friendly rooms during your stay. Dogs can be territorial, and we respect their comfort (and ours). 
  7. Crate or Carrier: We recommend bringing a crate or carrier if you plan to leave your dog in the room while you explore the area. 
  8. Emergency Contact: Provide us with your cellphone number so we can contact you if your dog barks, cries, or scratches while you’re away. 
  9. Common Areas: Dogs are not permitted at breakfast or in indoor common areas. Respecting other guests is part of good dog etiquette. 
  10. Vaccination Requirements: All dogs must have up-to-date vaccinations. 
  11. Behavior Expectations: While issues are rare, we reserve the right to ask you to leave if your dog’s behavior disrupts other guests. Fun fact: Dogs accustomed to travel often behave better than people! 

By booking a dog-friendly room, you agree to these house rules. We look forward to welcoming you and your furry companion for a comfortable stay! 🐾
