INFORMATION REGARDING PETS:

This is a pet-friendly house -- but pets must NOT be left unattended unless left in their crate.  We also require that all pets be on flea and tick preventative and up-to-date on vaccinations.

Below are some of our favorite dog guests with Carolyn:

  

  

If you bring your own pet crate, you may leave your pet in his/her crate within the house when you are out and about.

The house has a fenced-in yard in the back of the property but we don't advise leaving your dog unattended in the backyard.

  You may want to take your pet with you when you are out and about, especially since so many of our friendly downtown shopkeepers welcome pets!

There is an *additional pet security deposit refundable after a satisfactory inspection of the house post-departure. 

Pet Fee:  $20.00/night + tax (for one dog); only $5.00/night extra for an additional dog.

To help us keep our costs down, so that we can offer these special rates for this house, we would prefer payment by check to be received by us at least 4 weeks prior to your stay.  Otherwise, we'd be grateful if you would pay by cash when you arrive (due to the high cost of credit card fees).  However, we can accept Visa and Master Card if you prefer to pay with your credit card.  There is a processing fee of 3.5% if you use your credit card.

 

And when you leave The Craftsman-Style House, we hope you will have enjoyed a very special relaxing time either on your own or with friends and family.
