- When leaving the pet unattended in the cottage, it must be in a pet carrier. If a pet-sitter is required, notify the concierge in advance (fees are the guest's responsibility).
- Guests will be provided with a pet "in-cottage" sign, which must be hung on the outside hook by the front door during the stay.

- Guests are limited to the pre-assigned pet-friendly cottage. Call before booking online to ensure the cottage is available for the requested dates of stay.
- Groups are not permitted to have a dog on the property. This policy ensures that our K-9 guest does not access other cottages, helping to keep other cottages allergen-free for guests. We appreciate your assistance in making The Cottages a great place for all our guests.
