Be advised that we have a resident ostrich that lives on the ranch. She is a very curious animal. If you are wearing a hat, glasses, or shiny jewelry she may come in for a closer look and may want to borrow anything it can peck- No need to worry- She is a very tame gentle ostrich named Betty. IF you arrive in more than one vehicle - please park the additional vehicle(s) up at the main house for your cars protection from Betty's pecks.

We do allow dogs to come on vacation with you to the cabin.
However in deciding whether or not to leave bring your dog please know that there are (3) three very important rules.
If you cannot abide by these then please consider leaving your pet at home.
1) Dogs are NOT allowed to sleep on top of the beds or be on the beds. We will be able to tell so please do not do it.
2) We prefer that the dogs not be allowed on top of the furniture; expressly the leather couch or any furniture.
The Cabin is dog-friendly. HOWEVER- YOUR DOGS MUST be on a leash AT ALL TIMES outside of the fenced in area in front of the cabin. Please ensure that your animals do not chase our ostriches or other exotics. You will have the opportunity to see and walk among- Ostriches, zebras, donkeys, Gazelles, wildebeest, and Oryx's. You will have the opportunity to feed the donkeys and zebras by hand- but ONLY from the enclosed fenced in area in front of cabin.

Upon arrival, please review the House Manual for instructions on how to best interact with them- although the host will come to greet and give animal handling tips.

There is a carport next to the cabin for guests park in. If you arrive in more than one car- we ask that extra cars park up at the main house (short distance) to PREVENT ostriches from pecking on your vehicles.
