The price listed is per night/per room and includes the use of all amenity spaces, fishing, patio/dock use, morning muffins and evening bourbon. We cannot alter the price for any amenities/activities/services that guests choose not to use.
Animals:
Guest Animals: Pets are welcome and stay free. We love our four-legged guests. There are no size or breed restrictions. However, aggressive pets are not permitted. We prefer dogs to be off-leash. Dogs that must be leashed due to aggression are not permitted. Animals acting in an aggressive way will be asked to leave without a reservation refund. Guests are responsible for any damages caused by their pet. Please keep in mind that other animals are present on the property, and this may cause your pet to become uncomfortable.
Our Animals: Guests are invited to interact with Nicura Ranch animals. Interactions should take place in a safe manner. Use caution while interacting with horses. Under Kentucky law, guests assume all liability while engaging in farm activities with the animals on our property (horses, goats and chickens). Horses, and goats may approach guests in the field/pastures. Guests should be alert and respectful, and always avoid having children or dogs run around the animals. Our animals are very friendly, but can spook. Proper footwear (closed toe) must be worn in the fields/pastures.
Barn: Guests are never permitted to open or close a stall door. Guests should not enter the chicken coop, goat or horse stalls unless guided by a Nicura Ranch staff member. Please refrain from feeding the animals. For the safety of our animals, the barn area is under surveillance.
Horseback Riding: We do not permit horseback riding. A nearby farm offers trail rides. More information can be found on our Things to Do page.

Other Policies
Swimming is at your own risk.
Due to the nature of a farm, Nicura Ranch cannot guarantee the fields and pastures to be risk free. Guests should be aware of rocky/uneven ground, mud, divots, etc… Though not common, snakes and other critters could be present in areas, especially the woods surrounding the farm and around water. As with any farm, flies will be present during warm months.
No smoking (including marijuana use) anywhere in the property. Evidence of smoking will result in a minimum $300 fee.
Housekeeping: Suites are sanitized and restocked after each guest check out. Please note, this service is provided at checkout, not daily. For stays longer than 5 days, a cleaning (sanitation, fresh linens/towels and restocking) will be available upon request, on the 5th day of your stay. There will be a $30 fee for this service.
Items missing from the room or left damaged will be charged to the card on file. Airbnb guests will be charged through Airbnb. (Accidents happen. Please notify us if you damage something and we will try to work with you on it. We always appreciate honesty.)
Utility Outages: Water/Power Outages are very rare, but can occur in a weather event or water main break. Refunds will be issued for outages exceeding 10 hours, if a guest wishes to cancel their reservation.
