PET OWNERS: The yard at Crane Hill Cottage is fenced, but around the lake, the waterfront on all the homes around the lake is not fenced. Neighborhood dog may occasionally pass through the yard. Hosts are not responsible for any wildlife encounters your pet may have at the property. All the native Florida wildlife species are represented in this natural habitat area. Water activities of any kind are at your own risk. You may encounter deaf neighborhood dog, "Mask," who just barks to say hi. Exterior lights at night attract all of the lovely Florida flying bugs; limit outdoor lighting use in the warmer months to help prevent pests getting in when doors are opened and closed. A commercial grade bug light is installed in the living room and is on 24/7 to attract and rid of the occasional flying bug that makes it in.
