Good to know
We are pet-friendly! Bring your dogs and let them run in the fenced yard. The fence has a 4" gap so we recommend medium to large dogs only. We have rolled for stickers and burrs, but we may miss some or some new ones may sprout up, just be aware! **Please do not book our home if you are working on the Border Wall or any supporting activities. Thank you!
