Here are the guidelines for bringing your own pets to our location:
Daytime Kenneling:
Our dogs are friendly but are trained as working dogs. From 8am to 5pm, they rest in their kennels, ensuring no dog interactions during this time.
Leash Policy:
Your dog must remain on a leash at all times while on the premises. Any roaming will result in being asked to leave.
Nighttime Arrangements:
At night, your dog should be either in your tent or tied up nearby. Our dogs may approach to greet you but if your dog is aggressive or fearful, keep it inside your tent.
Restricted Areas:
Dogs are not allowed in the spa or main building (where cooking/eating occurs). We provide designated tie-up areas adjacent to these spaces.
Cleanliness:
Promptly pick up all dog waste. Do not leave any human or dog food exposed; store all items in your vehicle.
Behavioral Standards:
Disruptive behavior (barking, whining, digging, causing chaos) is not tolerated. Failure to comply will result in being asked to leave.
Livestock Interaction:
Please be mindful of the free-roaming chickens on our premises. Keep your dog at a distance from our livestock to avoid any disturbances or potential harm to the animals. It's important to respect the presence of our livestock and maintain a respectful distance during your stay.
Please adhere to these rules diligently for the safety and comfort of everyone, including your own pet. Failure to comply will result in being asked to vacate the premises. Thank you for your cooperation
By choosing to stay with us, you are not only supporting us but our mission. As stewards of this precious land, our goal is to create a haven where guests can reconnect with nature, nourish their bodies and souls, and forge meaningful connections with themselves and others.
To get to us you have to drive about 12km up a government maintained dirt road. Everyone who has come says the road is in way better shape than they thought it would be. Google maps will bring you right to the driveway (One of our employees drives a Honda Civic and has had no problems year round).
Leave the hustle behind and join us for a magical experience. The road may be dirt, but the journey is pure magic.
We can't wait to host you!
