Please pick up all pet waste immediately, we do have doggie bags hanging throughout the resort. Please keep your pets off the furniture and beds. There is a $100 fee per pet per week ($20 per day) in each cabin to cover our extra basic cleaning costs that come from having pets in the cabins (We have to thoroughly clean as though the next guests could have allergies). If for some reason our cleaning is above and beyond (including us having to remove pet waste) or there is damage, fees will be assessed accordingly. Pets are not allowed to be left alone in the cabins unless in a crate. A credit card number will be held to cover any damages and may be charged after our cleaning crew been through the cabin.
