SMOKING: We prefer that you smoke outside of the cottage and lodge. Absolutely, no smoking is allowed in the bedrooms. For guests that do not follow these rules, a substantial cleaning fee may be applied to your bill.




We regret that we cannot offer early check-in or late check-out due to our heavily booked season. The intervening time is necessary to properly prepare and clean the cottage and lodge for our next guests.


PETS:
We may allow one small well-behaved pet upon prior approval with an additional fee. For larger pets, we do offer boarding kennels on our property for a fee of $15.00 per day. Fee includes walking and feeding by our kennel personel. You may bring your pet down to the yard, but they must be on a leash at all times. We also have pets on the premises, however, they remain on leashes or runners during your stay. Guests with pets are required to check out 1 hour earlier than normal check out to allow for additional cleaning time. The pet fee is $10.00 per day for staying in the cottage for small dogs only. No large dogs. You must also keep your pet dry in the house and clean up after your pet.
