They don't just travel "with" you—they are welcomed guests.That’s why we’ve created a place where both humans and their four-legged friends can move freely, relax, and simply enjoy their holiday. Between apple orchards, the natural pond, and vast views, dogs can truly be dogs—and their humans can let go.

- Food and water bowls
- Floor mat for bowls

- Waste bags
🐾 We are also happy to provide a
cozy dog bed free of charge.
