Sun umbrellas and a sun terrace are available, and the inn offers a picnic area with outdoor furniture.

The inn provides a welcome gift bag for dogs that includes a collapsible bowl, treats, and doggy bags. Pet bowls, a special bed cover, and dog towels are available for use during the stay. A list of dog-friendly activities, stores, and restaurants in the area is given at check-in.
Complimentary Food and Drink
A breakfast basket is hung on the guest room door each morning between 8:30 and 9:00 am, containing orange juice, fruit, string cheese, and sweet bread.
