It was comfortable like home, not pretentious at all. The back yard was awesome & very pet friendly! Location was fabulous! Wendy communicated quickly & easily. I appreciated the detailed instructions about everything, especially about the locks & what needed to be done at departure. Loved that all the lights were labeled! I truly would love to stay there again! Thank you Wendy! ##### Vicki P. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley E.

The yard is perfect for the furry ones. Awesome location and met some friendly neighbors. Looking forward to going back!! :) Thank you Wendy for your sweet hospitality to us and the wonderful communication. ##### Ashley E. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine B.

There was a small issue with cleaning but was resolved early the next day. Wendy was very helpful and communicative, and even left us a gift. The house is perfect for a small family & very dog friendly with a fenced in back yard, clean up station, and plenty of dog items. ##### Catherine B.
