Is the getaway just for border collies?
No, absolutely not. All breeds are welcome.

Can I bring more than one dog?
Certainly. As long as you can handle multiple dogs, there is no limit.

How prevalent are ticks in your area?
Thanks to our heavy winters, the property is basically tick-free. Campers travel here from all over the northeast to enjoy miles of trails with their dogs without worries of disease-carrying ticks. In fact, in 10 years at the farm, we've had reports of only 4 ticks found on dogs.

What is your spay/neuter policy for dogs coming to the Getaway?
Only one unneutered male dog may attend at any given time with other dogs. Must be discussed and approved prior to registration. Female dogs in heat are not accepted at Canine Country Getaway.

Are children allowed?
No. The Canine Country Getaway is an adults only experience. All visitors must be 18 or older.

What should I bring?
Please bring your dog's food, toys, blanket, crate, collar, leash and whatever else you normally travel with. We will provide pet-mitts on the property and water will be available. Please also bring proof of your dog's rabies shot or titer. If you are camping, please bring your own sleeping bag and towels. A handy list of things to bring is available on our Guest Information page.

My dog can be aggressive towards other dogs, can we still come to the Getaway?
Dogs with aggression toward other dogs or people may not be accepted. At the Canine Country Getaway, dog interactions are solely the responsibility of their guardians. Glen Highland Farm takes no responsibility for managing visitor's dogs. Please keep in mind that the Getaway is open to dog lovers and their dogs and like any place where dogs and people come together, it is important that the environment is safe for all who are participating. It is your responsibility as the guardian to manage your dog, not that of GHF. If your dog displays aggression to people or dogs, you may be asked to leave. Refunds will not apply.

Where does my dog stay if I need to go somewhere on my own?
You are responsible for bringing a crate to leave your dog in, either in your lodging or in a shady area on the property. Water, food and toys should be provided if that's what you normally do when leaving your dog.

Do you have hook-up for RV electric? And, what about toilets and showers?
We do have electric for those visitors coming in their own RV's. We also have private showers available and toilets at the campsite. For details please see our Lodging & Facilities page.

What's the weather like in the summer and fall?
Summer in upstate New York is delightful. The days can be warm so bring sunscreen and a hat though often there is a great breeze all day. The evenings are cool and comfortable so you may need a light jacket. Please also bring bug spray since you'll be going into raw wilderness areas with your dog. If rain does occur, it is often a short shower, clearing to a bright sunny day.

Fall weather... temperatures average a delightful 65 during the day and great sleeping weather usually at 50 degrees. The leaves are gorgeous changing in upstate NY, a very dramatic time of year.

We obviously cannot provide refunds for inclement weather... but, we'll do everything possible to make your vacation a relaxing and enjoyable one.

What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-ins start at 3pm, no earlier. Check-out is 11am. We ask that you check-out of your lodging by 11am so that we may prepare for our next guests. However, please feel free to enjoy the trails and prepare a lunch in the pavilion before leaving the Farm.

What is your policy on refunds and cancellations?
Lodging at the Farm is limited to first come, first serve and is in great demand due to the smaller size of the camp, with only five RV's and four cabins. Once booked, a deposit of one night's stay will not be refundable, in the event of any cancellation. Full camp fee, less deposit, will be refunded if notification is 30 days before arrival. After thirty days, any cancellation refunds will be dependent on our ability to fill your space.
