PET AGREEMENT
Trained service animals as defined by the ADA are welcome at all units. (Comfort, therapy and emotional support animals are not considered service animals and guests would need to choose a pet friendly unit and pay the pet fee.) Lying about an ADA service animal is a felony and will be treated as such. An emotional support or therapy animal needs to be treated as a pet.

The house is flea and tick free. Please help us maintain that.

We love to cuddle with our pets, but if your dog needs a bath or is otherwise in a condition not suitable for being on the furniture please keep them off. (ie; toenails needs trimming, has been in the lake, etc.) If your pet is accustomed to being on the furniture, please bring a sheet or blanket from home and cover the area of the furniture they will be laying on, in order to guard against pet hair accumulation.
