Please help us continue being dog friendly by letting us know they are joining you, making sure you pick up after your dog, and making sure they are always either on a leash or under voice control. If you have not rented the whole property there may be other dogs around - you know your dog best, and for the sake of current and future guests please act accordingly. The properties are not all fenced in, and we live close to nature so please expect to share the space with other animals such as deer, raccoons, squirrels, opossums, skunks and birds.

    -If you have not rented all of Willow Camp, the lower gardens (the lawn, pavilion, a fire pit and pond) are first come first serve, and we encourage you to meet new friends while you are there!

    -We keep beach toys, beach chairs, boards etc by the beach gates at R house and Willow Camp (first come first serve at Willow Camp.)
