Pet friendly to dogs only. 2 dogs only with $75 pet fee per stay for the extra deep cleaning & sanitation required. No cats or litter boxes, chickens, lizards, snakes, aquariums or any other creatures that are not human.

There are THREE exterior security cameras actively recording and monitoring the front door and the two side doors. If any guest tampers, covers, or blocks the security cameras in any way, their stay will be canceled without refund immediately. This is for the safety of the property we monitor these exterior doors.
