Emergencies

Morris, NY is in a rural area so we are a bit remote from hospitals and vets... at least a half hour drive... so please let us know if you have any medical conditions or if your dog has a medical condition which we should know about. We do have a nurse practitioner and emergency unit less than 5 minutes away so we have no worries but it's better to be prepared with information, especially with the dogs, too. The vet is quite a drive for an emergency situation.

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 before leaving the Farm.
