We loved this house! It was clean, easy to find, easy to get in and was the perfect size for our trip. I thought the kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed. We were able to bring our pups with us and we were so appreciative that they were able to join us. We would absolutely rent this property again and look forward to our next trip to Arnold!
