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 8 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.

Does my dog have to get along with other dogs?
Yes, dogs with aggression toward other dogs may not be accepted.

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?
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. If we do have a rainy day, then activities will be taken indoors and/or suspended, as need be. 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 please. Check-out is 11am. No extensions, please use other local accomodations.

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.
