If your pet is not neutered, spayed, or tends to mark territory please be on alert. Also charges will accrue if poop is not picked up from yard. Also, pets that shed excessively will be charged extra cleaning fee. WE do our best to provide a safe environment for pets. However it is your responsibility to ensure their safety during your stay.

Thomas is very diligent about the snow removal during winter months. You will most likely run into him during your stay. They are non invasive, quick, and courteous. We do not guarantee Thomas will be there before check out, or check in. He has his own route, but will be to the home at least once after a storm.
