Our fencing is very hot electric and reaching over to attempt to pet the horses could cause injury. We love animals and have a friendly dog who roams the property. We therefore ask your pets remain at home. Please be aware the Cottage has a traditional master bedroom with king bed. A single pull-down Murphy bed is available in the second living area. Although the bed is tucked away behind a privacy wall, there is no door on the second sleeping room.
