My husband and I brought our 5 yr old grandson and his service dog in training. Ezra loved the swings in the backyard and the puppy had plenty of room to stretch her legs. My husband and I enjoyed the county feel just 5 minutes away from our kiddos in Aroura. The owners were so kind . The detail was beyond compare! We truly enjoyed our stay! ##### Annette L.
