 Our beloved white Maltese, Justin Fowler, died on June 6, 2007, 20 days before his 12th birthday. He is memorialized in the cemetery next to Dancing Waters Chapel at Steinhatchee Landing. It was Justin and his love of travel with his 'parents' that inspired the Landing's pet-friendly policy. Over the years, Justin greeted the Landing's guests and their pets with both curiosity and friendship. All those associated with the Landing miss him greatly.
The resort has 35 acres of landscaped and wooded grounds for you and your dog to enjoy. Half the trees are oaks, loaded with acorns and more squirrels than your pup has ever seen. Justin chased squirrels at least twice a day. His lack of successful attempts did not discourage him at all.
50 rental cottages, featuring one to four bedrooms, are privately owned. 19 of the cottages are available for pets. Dogs are not allowed in the pool. However, water lovers can enjoy endless swimming in the Steinhatchee River.
Because we have a petting zoo with goats and ducks, we generally do not allow dogs weighing more than 28 pounds. We are required to gain the homeowner's personal approval before we can confirm reservations for larger dogs. We will happily ask the owner if you are certain your pooch can be controlled around farm animals and smaller dogs.
There is no charge for your pet. However, a security deposit is required and an inspection performed prior to checkout.
Traveling with your dog is rewarding, but it also means added responsibility on the "parents." Pets should be well disciplined, socialized and understand and respond to basic commands such as stay, stop, come, and let's go. A leash is essential when arriving at a new destination.
We ask you to keep your pets off the furniture. Always carry a lint brush or dust remover with you. If Fido sleeps with you bring a bed cover to put on top of the bedding. Always feed your pet in the kitchen or bathroom, never on the carpet. Place a newspaper or towel under the food dish.
Always be considerate of other guests. Remember, some people don't like dogs.
Carry plastic bags and paper towels for clean up duty. If your puppy causes damage to someone's property, offer to pay for its repair or replacement. Following these basic guidelines assures you, your pet and the resort's other guests a relaxing and enjoyable vacation experience. It also keeps us and your pets welcome when we travel.
HAPPY MOTORING TO YOU AND YOURS!
