Practical honeymoon planning tips
Because the lodge has limited front desk hours and limited cell service on site, communicate arrival time and any special requests (flowers, room setup, romance packages) before you travel. The property permits dogs (cats are not allowed) but verify current pet details and any fees with the lodge.
Urban Cowboy is not an all-inclusive resort; meals and drinks are charged separately. The property offers stocked in-room minibars with local goods and two on-site 24-hour canteens for snacks or essentials, but plan to reserve restaurant times for evenings you want to dine on property.
- Tell the lodge your arrival time in advance (front desk has limited hours)
- Not an all-inclusive property—meals/drinks billed separately
- Pet policy: dogs allowed (confirm details); cats not permitted
- Only registered guests allowed in guestrooms; extra beds not available
| Heads-up | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Limited cell service | Bring offline maps, printed confirmations, or use Wi‑Fi at the lodge |
| Front desk hours | Late arrivals may require pre-arrangement |
| Adults-only policy | No guests under 18 admitted—plan childcare off-site |
