Each dwelling's rustic elegance combines with convenient amenities and creates a fun mood to set Tired Dog Ranch apart from any other overnight accommodations you will find. Very unique, secluded and relaxing, TDR is nestled outside a quiet community that is yearly gaining speed as an outdoor recreational paradise. This is a farm/forest compound with 30+ free range chickens, farm cat (Kitty Bonkers), farm dogs named Simba (fat old border mix) and Buster (young big Pyrenees) and 5 horses. Due to Tired Dog Ranch's location (neighboring property is National Forest), wildlife abounds and on rare occasion may be so curious or bold to venture onto the 18-acre property (deer, elk, raccoons, skunk, bear, cougar, crow, eagle, hawk, etc.) so take care to protect yourself and others in your group while outdoors to make your stay safe and sound. I am happy to provide tips of the trade for cougar sightings and urge that you keep your kids and pets with you at all times during your stay. the "do's and don'ts" when encountering predator wildlife are posted in all dwellings for your reading pleasure. Guest access You are welcome to roam the entire parcel, but be respectful of the areas surrounding the other dwellings and keep migratory patterns to a reasonable hour, taking your play/party indoors in celebration of your time together and here on planet Tired Dog Ranch. I've been told this place is a vacuum, a vortex and funny little time sucker for the guest who really wants to shut out the rest of the world and hunker down to a good book or get lost in the tranquility of the surrounding meadow, woods, Gray Creek (west property line) or in the hammock under the fruit/nut orchard. Isn't that what the doctor ordered? If you venture down to the pasture to visit the horses, please note that this is an equine facility and you must remain outside the fenced area. No access to the hen house allowed. Extra eggs are sold at $5.00/dozen if/when available. You are welcome to pitch out your compost (peels, food scraps other than chicken) and watch the chickens circle. The Carriage "Hen" House has a middle and back section that is yours to utilize. There is a front workspace that myself or my housekeeper access - usually only when the dwelling is vacant, and between 11 am - 4 pm for prep of a dwelling. There are three other rental dwellings (Cascadian Cottage, Cowboy Cabin, Celestial Yurt) that are only to be entered by guests reserved in that dwelling. There is a small fire pit next to your dwelling. Firewood can be purchased for $5/bundle and includes kindling, paper and a book of matches. Please provide 24 hour request. The BBQ is there for your use. BYO briquettes. Lighter fluid and lighter provided. This dwelling entrance is the side door where you will enter the foyer with "wood stove" electric heater. The two interior doors are used to access the rear "studio" section with couch, table and chairs, stuffed chair, kitchen and BA w/toilet and shower (use kitchen sink for washing your person and dishes). The private bedroom w/50" TV, king bed, night stands, armoire, small dresser and secretary. The front section is a private work space with its own entrance so as to not disturb a dweller and is rarely accessed by the maid while guests are booked, and only during the day. No one is allowed in that room but myself and my housekeeper. Other things to note There is one other dwelling nearby (Celestial Yurt), three more to the east (my home and two other vacation dwellings), and an upper meadow that serves as a campsite in the summer on the southeast corner of the 18-acre parcel. Your entrance is the side door with awning. The front of the Carriage "Hen" House (work/storage space) is infrequently accessed exclusively by the cleaning personnel or myself). While the bedroom is located in the middle section and the "studio" section is facing north, overlooking the pasture of horses and sheep . Barring the occasional sound of slow moving vehicles (posted: 5 MPH) and the possible foot traffic of other guests traveling along the driveway, you are somewhat privately positioned in your own little space overlooking a pasture filled with beautiful and very friendly horses and sheep: Phileus Maximus is the bay draft mustang, Margarita is the Dunn Spanish Mustang, Lydia Santa Maria is the Grulla Spanish Mustang, Obie Won Kanobi is the mini Pinto, and One Eyed Sarah is the mini Mule, the sheep are Tidbit and Spot. My border collie is named Simba and my "pup" Great Pyrenees is named Buster Beuford. My tabby cat is Kitty Bonkers. Make up your own name for the chickens and roosters. Don't let any of the pets in your dwelling, but you are welcome to feed the chickens non-meat scraps. FREE RANGE CHICKENS ALERT!!! This dwelling is closest to the chicken coop where approximately 25 free range chickens and a few roosters bustle around throughout the day after a rousing crowing session in the morning while waiting for their mama to open the door and let them out. I lock them up nightly and let them out mid-morning. They LOVE your scraps so have at it! Don't enter the hen house though, as the chickens need undisturbed time to lay your eggs. Never chase the chickens, as this riles up my dog's instincts to herd, and that can get a bit too rough. This is a dog friendly place with a $15/pet per night charge - 2 pet maximum. Pay prior to or at arrival. That said, I expect all to show responsibility and respect for another's home and grounds. Two things to consider when deciding to bring your pet on your vacation: Can they remain ON leash? Can they remain OFF the furniture (including beds)? Will they remain with you at all times? If the answer to ALL of these questions is "YES", by all means bring them with you (maximum of 2 pets to a dwelling). If the answer to ANY of these questions is "NO", please leave your pet at home or in the care of another. This is not a boarding facility or dog park. If a chicken comes to its early demise due to your pet, there is an automatic $50 charge. Pick up your dog's poop and dispose of appropriately (sacks provided at dwelling). Also, Simba, my food whore of a border collie so don't leave a garbage or food sack outside, and my very curious cat, Kitty Bonkers, is very friendly though is a male so will mark if inside a strange place. Please don't let either of them in your dwelling and please don't feed Simba. He is getting fatter by the moment from guests' generous heart and will stroke out if fed anymore ;). Kitty Bonkers is a young tabby cat - a little squirrelly and very adorable. Loves to run up trees and skirt around. Buster, the pyrenees is still in training so will be on a leash whenever you see him. While I do have Simba off leash, he is a herding dog. Therefore do not rouse or chase the chickens, or Simba will want to herd them and in his rambunctiousness could hurt a chicken. That would be bad. NO smoking anything (BBQ, e/cigarettes, herb) within 15 feet of the dwelling (that means NOT on the covered porch!). Please dispose of butts responsibly. The wi-fi password is on a card on the console or on the back/bottom of the modem (near the TV) if someone tucked away the card.
