If arriving after dark, look for café lights in the front yard. We also ask that, if bringing a pet, you pick up their poops from the yard. Bags are provided as well as a shovel if you’d rather toss it over the fence into the woods. Please, for the health of all our canine guests, leave the yard sanitary. Housekeeping does not patrol the yard. We feel this is a responsibility of all pet owners no matter where you are. Thanks for being good pet owners!
