Pet-Related Rules:

- Please keep pets off the bed, pickup after them outside, and prevent them from 'marking' anything inside. If excessive hair or urine is found inside, we will contact you about any necessary fees.
- We require guests to disclose if they plan to bring a pet/pets, as we have a $100 per pet fee.
- We do not adjust fees or rules for emotional support animals.

NOTE: This listing is for the studio called The Cave, which sleeps a maximum of 2 guests. On the same property, there is another home and a studio above you, both with private entrances. If you only book the lower-level studio using this listing, there is a chance that the upper-level studio or 3-bedroom home will be rented to other guests; as a result, you will be sharing the driveway with others. If you prefer to book one or more of the other homes on this property, please see our other “Shady Woods” Listings, titled “Walk to DT from this 3BR w/ Hot Tub + Pets Allowed,” “4BR w/ Hot Tub – Walkable to DT Gat! Pets Allowed” & “Multi Homes w/Hot Tub + Walk to DT & Pet-Friendly.”
