We cannot speak highly enough about this unit. It was spacious, light and clean, with every detail well thought out including the sun room for the dogs. The beds were super comfortable and the back garden overlooking the creek was picturesque. The only downside was no wifi and the light in the second bedroom didn't work.

We stayed for 3 nights with 3 adults & 2 labradors- pleasantly surprised by how nice the inside was, & how handy to have the sunroom for the labs to stay in! The back yard was a great size, not huge, but enough to run around in and for the labs to laze in the sun. The inside was perfect, with both a washing machine & a dryer a bonus as we competed in the Spartan races over the weekend and got very muddy! An added bonus was how close the house was to the main part of town- a 2 minute walk! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay- highly recommended! ##### Kaela C. ### 8/10 Good #### Ming C.
