A Pack n Play with a pad cover and two sheets are stowed away in the twin room closet with a high chair, baby gate and other items. Guests must keep these items clean and disinfected after use. We’ll pack them away after they’re dry, and we’ll launder the sheets and pad.
Pets: We welcome well behaved dogs (2 max) with their responsible pet-people who: keep them off beds, furniture, linens; tidy after them indoors and outdoors, and do other awesome-pet-people things. If bringing your dog, indicate so in your reservation, and clean up as though it was never there. Be aware: a horse and donkey live in the adjacent fields, and the close proximity to the road, highway, and thousands of acres of wilderness. Leash laws are in effect to protect your loved ones.
