Pet Policy

We are a pet friendly Inn please ask for more information.
The Inn has acquired a new kitty, born in September 2010. He stays mostly in the innkeeper's quarters but likes to come out and greet the guests. If you are mildly allergic to cats, please let us know in advance and we will keep him away from the common areas. If you are severely allergic to cats, we suggest that you do not stay in the main house, but rather reserve one of the Briarwood cottages or the Bark House cabin.
