Pet friendly to dogs only. 2 dogs only with $75 pet fee per stay for the extra deep cleaning & sanitation required. No cats or litter boxes, chickens, lizards, snakes, aquariums or any other creatures that are not human. (I have to type that, because all of the above have happened to me as a host over the past 2 years.)
There are THREE exterior security cameras actively recording and monitoring the front door and the two side doors. If any guest tampers, covers, or blocks the security cameras in any way, their stay will be canceled without refund immediately. This is for the safety of the property we monitor these exterior doors. We do not have the time in the day nor desire to sit and "watch" guests but we may look back over past exterior footage if a concern comes to our attention that needs to be addressed.

You will have the whole place to yourself. While it is technically a guest house, it has it's own stone path straight from the street and is more like the house next door type of feel.
