Dog Park Vacation Home
House Rules
Hello, and welcome! We’re so happy you’ve chosen us for your vacation.
Before you settle in and get comfortable, we would like to make you aware of the House Rules. Understanding and complying with our House Rules will make for a safe, comfortable, and fun stay for everyone. Please read each of them carefully to avoid any danger or deductions from your security deposit upon check-out. These rules are in place to protect you and your animals, too. Complying with them is a requirement of the vacation Rental Agreement.
Have fun! This is your vacation time, and we hope you make the most of your visit to the property, its amenities, and your opportunity to relax and enjoy it all!
1. MAX OCCUPANCY & CHILDREN
The Dog Park Vacation Home is available for up to 4 guests, and children are welcome.
2. DOGS - PRIVATE FENCED DOG PARK
Your dogs must be socialized, and never aggressive with people, animals, or property, and must not be an excessive barker. Dogs must be current on their shots and have proof of rabies protection and be on active flea and tick prevention. Please do regular tick checks on your dog(s) while onsite, especially in the spring and early summer. If your dogs create an excessive disturbance or engage in unsafe behavior, you may be asked to leave. In such a case, no refund of any fees paid will be made.
Your dogs must be always on-leash except in 2-acre, private fenced dog park. They're welcome to explore other areas with you as long as they’re on-leash.
While here please use provided dog sheets and dog towels to protect our furniture and linens.
