Dog Friendly

WOOF! WAOUH!

We understand how important your four-legged friend is…! The Old Stone Inn welcomes dogs and unfortunately do not allow any other animals or pet. We allowed maximum of two dogs in each room, weigh not above thirty pounds. To ensure a tail-wagging experience, we ask that you kindly read the policies.

The non-refundable fee of $49.99 plus tax per night will not be refunded once the dog has been in the guest room or public areas.

Pet Policy

Dogs must be always supervised on property and in public areas. Do not leave your dog unattended in your room for extended periods, and dog should never be left alone overnight. Please notify Front Desk if leaving your dog in the room unattended for short period.

The pet parent(s) is responsible for registering their animal at check-in with proper information required and un-registered animal will be charged a minimum fee of CAD $250.00 for cleaning.

The pet parent(s) is responsible for clean up after the dog on the hotel grounds and properly disposing of waste in the outside dumpster or as otherwise designated. Our staff members are not permitted to monitor or care for animals.

The pet parent(s) is responsible to submit the vaccination documents (distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza and parvovirus, rabies) for verification if requested. The hotel holds the right to decline the entry of dog in the premises if the pet parent(s) failed to comply.

Service Animals

The hotel abides the AODA rules for service dogs. Emotional support dog does not qualify as service animals and fee will be charged. We adhere to provincial regulations for service animals. In Ontario, if the service animal is not easily identifiable, the hotel may ask for documentation from a regulated health professional confirming the need for the animal or any identification way as mentioned in Service Animal Laws for Ontario Workplaces.

The service animal should remain clear of the wet pool deck area (approximately four feet from the water’s edge) to avoid any potential health and safety concerns.

Only “assistance guide dogs” are allowed in any public area that includes but is not limited to the dining area, swimming pool area, meeting or banquet rooms, and non-pet friendly guest rooms.

On leash

Dogs must be kept on a leash or in a carrier in all public areas unless the pet parent(s) is unable to use the leash or harness due to his/her disability, or it would interfere with the service animal’s ability to perform work or tasks.

Damages

The pet parent(s) is responsible for any damage caused by the dog to property and/or personal injury to hotel employees and/or other guest that you cause. The pet parent(s) also agrees to absolve the hotel of any liability if you are injured or cause injury to someone else or someone else’s pet.

Damages caused by your pet inadvertently, to our room, its furnishing or amenities or any other part of the hotel are your sole responsibility. Please advised you will be charged a minimum of CAD 250.00 for cleaning, or repairs based on the specific damage. The room is subject to damage inspection at any time and upon check-out

Noise or Disruptive complaints

To ensure the comfort and enjoyment of all our guests, we strictly enforce our noise and disruption policies. If hotel management receives two (2) noise or disturbance complaints related to a pet, guests will be asked to make alternative arrangements for the pet.

If the guest does not return to their room or address the situation promptly after notification, a penalty equal to the pet surcharge, or higher, may be applied. The amount will depend on the frequency, severity, and level of inconvenience caused to other guests.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a peaceful and comfortable environment for everyone.

Housekeeping or Maintenance service

The pet parent(s) must have to take their dog out of the room to accommodate these services when possible. The hotel reserves the right to decline servicing a room with an unsupervised pet; such service can be requested while you are present.

Local Groomer Service

A Guest Services representative can assist by referring a local groomer should a pet require bathing. Please note that guests are not permitted to use hotel bathtubs, toiletries, or towels for pet grooming. If hotel amenities are used for this purpose, additional charges may apply based on the incident and associated costs.

Additionally, we understand guests may require external pet care support. Below are recommended platforms offering professional pet care services such as dog walking, pet sitting, drop‑in visits, and limited boarding:
