There is one small senior dog, a jack russell terrier mix named Peanut that lives on the 58-acre preserve. If you happen to see him while staying at the Art Lodge, he may steal your heart. He is friendly with humans and knows how to charm for snacks. Big time! Peanut does not do well with other domestic animal companions, so we ask that you do not bring them to the Art Lodge.
