BRINGING ALONG A DOG

We love four-legged guests, too, and will consider one non-shedding dog under 25 pounds with advance approval and documentation of current vaccinations.

For the comfort and cleanliness of the home, we ask that your pup:
Be supervised while inside the home and comfortably crated if you leave the house without your dog
Stay off all furniture
Have their paws wiped or cleaned in the bathroom after walks before coming back inside so that dirt and mud aren't tracked through the house - we do the same!

If you need a crate to help keep your sweet pup off the furniture, we're happy to provide one with enough advance notice to make arrangements.

A $35-per-day pet cleaning fee, capped at $120 per stay, will be assessed in advance to cover the additional cleaning required after hosting a furry guest.

We want you - and your pup - to enjoy your time at Pawnee Reverie while helping us keep the home comfortable and welcoming for everyone who visits after you.

Love hearing about your son's connection to the ADK! Our son, who now lives in Colorado, has always had a special connection to the Adirondacks too. In fact, he agreed to make the trip back east this summer on one condition-that it be to the ADK! We're so happy you had such a wonderful time. Please come back anytime at all, and thank you again for staying with us!

About the host

Hosted by Ann and Mark Pickering

Host profile image
I married a man, Mark, who grew up camping and skiing in the Adirondacks. When raising our two sons, we made a camping trip to the Adirondacks a summer routine. When the boys left for college (and beyond), we decided to make more of a commitment to the area we love. We bought a "camp" (as the locals call it). Old Forge seemed the best in terms of proximity (we live in PA) and in terms of access to all the beauty and fun of the area. We are blessed to have our camp and would love to share it with you with the hope you love it and the surroundings as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We love how close our home is to town, yet feels so remote in the woods! Lots of great walking paths in Hollywood Hills, and we love the private beach access!
