Things to note:

• Ranch life: Embrace the charm of staying in nature. Expect sightings of deer, wild turkeys, armadillos, bats, and more! You may encounter an occasional bug inside.
• Safety: Closed-toe shoes and leg coverage recommended for walks; stay out of high grass.

• Pets: First pet is $50 per/stay, 2nd pet $25/stay. Maximum 2 pets. Bringing a pet is at your own risk - we recommend dogs to always be on a leash when out on the ranch. Pets are not allowed on the couches or on the beds - please be respectful of that. Pick up after your pet around the buildings (anywhere the grass is mowed). No aggressive animals.
