There is a cat named 'Jack' who stays with me in a separate basement suite on the property. Small and medium sized dogs who are trained are welcome also. We do have hardwood floors, so we appreciate their nails being cut. Inquire about large dogs to see if an arrangement can be made - our concern is simply delicate furniture on the property and excessive shedding. Please also provide bedding for your pets as they are not to sleep on the beds please. There is a separate Antique store on the property which is open 12-5 on weekends.
