Who Let The Dogs In

Bringing Pets on Vacation


It seems that more people these days are traveling with their pets, especially their pooches. Finding pet friendly accommodations at the Lake of the Ozarks, however, can be a little difficult. The market is growing and there is definitely a demand for those pet friendly properties, with guests even willing to pay extra for the privilege of bringing their furry friends.

Traveling with Pets


In fact, a recent Trip Advisor survey noted that 37% of pet owners say that they would be willing to pay more to stay at accommodations that are pet friendly. That same survey noted that 56% of American pet owners like to travel with their pets. Owners who are accepting pets are potentially seeing more rentals than those owners who do not cater to pets. According to the survey, the most common traveling companion is still man's best friend.

Catering to Pet Lovers


If you are going to cater to the pet loving public, there are a few things you will want to keep in mind, especially here at Lake of the Ozarks. At the Lake, most condo associations will not allow vacationing guests to bring their pets. Owners are allowed to have pets, but not their guests or the vacationing public. Be sure to check the rules before you start taking reservations for guests with pets. You definitely don't want a situation where you get fined by the association or your guest gets harassed or kicked out due to having a pet.

Pet Friendly Rentals 


Obviously, if your vacation rental property is a private home at the Lake of the Ozarks, then you should be in pretty good shape to make the decision on whether or not to accept rentals with pets. There are a number of things that you will want to consider before allowing pets. Do you have anyone in your family with pet allergies? You will also have to think of guests not traveling with pets and the fact that some of them may have family members with pet allergies.

Rules for Bringing Pets


You should also think about limiting the size of the pet and how many the guest can bring with them. At our company, we have a limit of two dogs and in most cases they need to be less than 20 pounds a piece for our homes that allow pets. We also ask that they be crated if they are going to be left alone in the home. In addition, you might require an extra deposit and/or an extra cleaning fee.

Pet Hotels & Boarding Houses


If you don't want pets in your rental property, there are a number of pet hotels and boarding houses that will boat the pets close to rental properties, allowing guests to take their pets with them and board them for the night at the pet hotel. This is a great option that you can offer your vacationing guests.

Russell Burdette is the owner/broker of Your Lake Vacation, a professional vacation rental management company at the Lake of the Ozarks since 1986. For more information on whether or not to make your property a pet friendly rental or to find out which of our rental homes are currently pet friendly, give us a call at 573-365-3367 today!

Winterizing Your Vacation Home

A vacation home is a big investment, so it only makes sense to use every precaution to preserve it through the winter. During the winter months, your vacation home at the Lake of the Ozarks probably isn't going to get much use and therefore, you'll need to winterize it for while you're away. Here are a few tips to follow when preparing your home for the cold winter months ahead:

1. Exterior Maintenance


When winterizing your home, the place to start is outside. You want to prevent any damage to the outside of your home to keep it from affecting the inside of your home. Try these tips for protecting the exterior of your home this winter:
  • Clear all gutters so that rainwater, melting snow and ice can successfully flow away from your home instead of forming ice dams, which can lead to leaks inside your home. 
  • Trim trees and remove dead branches around your home to prevent property-damaging breaks caused by the weight and force of winter winds, snow and ice.
  • Protect your outdoor furniture, cooking appliances and recreational gear by storing them away or protecting them with weather-proof covers.
  • Keep pest from seeking warmth in your home by covering chimneys with screening and blocking any possible entries in the foundation or around the eaves.

2. Prepare Your Plumbing 


Failing to winterize the plumbing in your vacation home could lead to extensive damage while you're away. Before you check out for the winter season, be sure to do the following things to keep your pipes from freezing and busting during those cold winter months:
  • Open all the water faucets and valves inside your home to let the water drain from the pipes.
  • Turn off the main water shut off valve inside your home. 
  • Wrap all exterior pipes as well as pipes in unheated areas of your vacation home with polyurethane or fiberglass pipe insulation.  
  • Use spray foam insulation to fill in the gaps around outdoor spigots.
  • Turn off or remove any back flow prevention devices from your faucets before insulating them.
  • Disconnect and drain your washing machine hoses, ice maker waterline and dishwasher's supply and drain lines.  
  • Turn off the water heater and drain the water from the tank.
  • Drain the water from spray attachments at your sinks and from the handheld shower head hoses.
  • Flush your toilets and remove any excess water from the tanks and bowls with an old towel.
  • Pour one cup of antifreeze into the toilet bowls and an additional cup down the overflow tube in the toilet tanks.

3. Interior Preparations


In addition to making sure your pipes aren't going to freeze on those cold winter nights, there are a few other items that should be addressed inside your home. Follow these tips to ensure a problem free winter for your vacation home:
  • All electrical components in your vacation home should be shut down, with the exception of such essentials as the heating system, security system and outdoor lighting. Use carefully marked breakers in your home's circuit box as a guide.
  • Unplug all appliances from the outlets.
  • Adjust the heat to a minimum of 55 degrees to maintain proper interior humidity and prevent the development of molds and mildew. 
  • Open all cabinets where plumbing is present.
  • Make sure the smoke, fire and carbon monoxide alarms in your vacation home are in working order. 
  • Make sure there is ample insulation in the attic, basement and crawl spaces. This will also help to keep your pipes from freezing. 
  • Empty and defrost the refrigerator, leaving the door ajar and the unit unplugged. 
  • Discard any food, toiletries or medications containing liquids that could freeze. 
  • Seal air leaks that allow cold air into your home, paying special attention to door frames and window sills. 
  • Turn off the pilot lights on stoves and fireplaces and turn off the gas. Also check for possible gas leaks. 

Not all of these items may be applicable in your situation. If you plan to have guests coming and going throughout the winter, you might want to leave the water heater full of water and the refrigerator plugged in. One of the great things about having your Lake of the Ozarks vacation home on our rental program is that you have someone keeping an eye on your house all year round. When a guest checks out during the winter months, we make sure to turn the water off and turn the heat down to 55 for you. We also have maintenance people on staff to take care of any issues that may arise during the cold winter months. For more information about having our property management company at the Lake of the Ozarks manage your vacation home, give us a call at 573-365-3367 today. Now is the time to get everything setup for the 2016 summer season!
