It was a nice, spacious house and conveniently located. We enjoyed evenings on the back porch and games at the large dining table. Austin, with Taylor Realty, was attentive to our questions and needs. We won the tournament and plan to stay at the Papa Dog again when we return next year. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/27c5ee7f-4573-4718-9ba0-a778cd8e9dc1-1746585692753.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Pam H.

Apr 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tennis ladies trip to 70+ Invitational Tournament There were 10 ladies staying in the house for 4 nights. The property worked well for us and had a beautiful view of the lake. One bedroom included 2 double beds which does not accommodate 2 adult ladies/bed comfortably. Two queens would be preferred. One lady chose to sleep on the couch upstairs instead of a top bunk or blowup bed.. The location was convenient to the tennis center. The property managers were very responsive to our request for extra towels and a 12-cup coffee pot instead of a Kuerig. Overall, the property met our needs. ##### Pam H.
