TERMS & POLICIES

 

GENERAL POLICIES

  • DOGS. We are sorry, but dogs are not allowed at our farm since we have many animals. We have our own dog running around the property. Please let us know if you are afraid or have issues with our domestics and we will try to make arrangements to that effect.

  • SMOKING. Absolutely no smoking. Our environment is dry most of the year, we do not allow smoking to avoid fires and ensure the safety of our ranch residents (animals and people).

  • SERVICE. Experience Dragonfly Ranch reserves the right to refuse service to anyone.

  • LAWS. Violation of any federal or state laws, company policies or house rules are all grounds for immediate removal from the property without refund.

  • INHERENT DANGERS. A ranch has inherent dangers and we will do our best to point out the obvious ones; however, guests will hold harmless Experience Dragonfly Ranch from all claims, suits or actions of any nature arising out of activities of their party.

  • RULES. Please abide by any additional ‘rules’ posted on the property. These are for the safety of both you and the ranch residents (animals and people).
