What shoes are best for Sanctuary tours?
Closed-toe shoes are required on all tours, and waterproof footwear is strongly recommended. We suggest rain boots or hiking boots, but an old pair of sneakers will do just fine if you don't mind walking through possibly wet or muddy pastures with them.
Can I bring my pet with us during our overnight stay?
Up to two dogs are welcome in Cabin 2 and Tiny House 6 only, for an additional charge of $25 per dog per night. This fee must be paid at the time of booking. Dogs must be on a leash at all times, be current on all required vaccinations, and are not permitted near animal housing barns and pastures at any time. We cannot accommodate any other type of pet, besides dogs, at this time.
