It really helps and is greatly appreciated. The airbnb part is only a portion of the entire 3000 sq ft. space. PLEASE NOTE! Pet Policy. We are very pet friendly, but this is not a boarding house to drop off your pets for 8 + hours. If you travel with your pets, keep them with you. Keep them off the bedding and other furniture or cover them with blankets that you bring. Our blankets and bedding are for human guests, not pets. Pet hair is a big problem and takes a lot to clean up. Use kennels if you have to. DO NOT LEAVE CATS LOOSE and unattended. Kennel your cat(s) if you are not at the house with them. We have a kennel if you need one. We have had several people drop off their pets then stay gone for 12-18 plus hours. This is not acceptable to us or our other guests.
