Our Guide
We
accept cats, and dogs who are well behaved, quiet, housebroken, and
non-aggressive. There is a limit of 3 pets. We will
charge a one-time fee of $30 per visit for the first pet, and $10
for each additional pet. No weight limit.
As a
courtesy to all future guests, pets should be flea-free.
Please do
not bring dirty dogs into the cottage. Plan to bring towels to
wipe off wet or dirty fur. Dogs are not permitted in the
Jacuzzi. Bathing should take place outside; you can use
the water spigot on the side of the cottage.
We prefer that dogs
and cats stay off the
furniture, but if you know your dog or cat will be on the couches or
beds, bring clean sheets or blankets to completely cover the
furniture (two couches, two beds).
If you leave your dog or cat unattended at the cottage, it must
be confined in a crate. A pet left alone in strange
surroundings is very likely to express it's frustration by chewing,
scratching or marking it's surroundings: in this case, the cottage.
Dogs must be
kept on a leash when outside the cottage. They may encounter
other dogs, see a deer, or find other interesting diversions which
would encourage them to run. Neighbors have dogs, cats, horses, etc.
which should not be chased. Dog visitors in the Hocking Hills
are, unfortunately, routinely lost in the miles of woods because the owners did not keep
them leashed. (ID tags are highly recommended).
Persistent
barking is not permitted; please attend to dogs that are barking.
Please clean up
after your dog around the cottage property. We have provided a
pooper-scooper and garbage can, or you can bring plastic baggies.
Any damage to the cottage property
caused by your pet, will be charged to you in accordance with
our Rental Agreement.

parks permit dogs but they must be leashed. Nature preserves,
like Conkle's Hollow and Rock Bridge, do not permit dogs.... and
PLEASE do
not ever leave your dog in a hot car, even for a short time with the windows cracked.
Death from heat stroke is a real possibility.
