Please note, there is to be no more than ten guests at the house at any one time (limit excludes guests who are children under 5 yrs, as long as I've been notified).

***PETS*** THIS RENTAL IS NOT SUITABLE FOR ALL PETS - please reach out to me about pets prior to booking to ensure their safety.
This is the country, and we are home to so many spectacular species of wildlife including coyotes, foxes, bears, wolves, snakes, owls, and many other birds of prey - and while they can be a treat for us to see (at a safe, respectful distance), your pet (especially small dogs) could be seen as food or a threat, leading to harm or death. There are no fences on the property, so please ensure that any approved pets are kept safe during their stay.
Pets are also not allowed on any of the furniture for any reason whatsoever, even if it's in your lap. The pet is not allowed in the bath tubs (there is a hose outside if your pet gets muddy). Hair must be thoroughly cleaned for allergen and sanitation reasons. The yard must be cleaned of all droppings. Also, the property behind the house is a Fen wetland. It is an ecologically protected zone. There are some endangered species of frogs, turtles and salamanders breeding there. Pets are PROHIBITED from running free in that wetland. If you are okay with these rules and can follow them, I have no issues with your pet. Thank you for your understanding
