If not, I wouldn’t. There are definitely pet “smells”. Good location, cute place, but not as clean as I’d prefer it to be. ##### Jodi F.

The perfect amount of space for a group of four people staying for the weekend. We didn’t get to enjoy the backyard due to the weather, but it was so cute! Wished the floors/doors were a bit cleaner though unfortunately. It was dusty/spiders webs on the doors and floors in some areas.. Nothing too serious though! We enjoyed our experience in such a little homey and welcoming place. ##### Anna Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kyle T.
