I appreciate the owner allowing pets. This is my primary search filter when looking for a property. With a fenced backyard, a deck and patio that were constructed to contain a pet, I couldn't be more pleased. It's clear the 1902 property has undergone some renovations, like a new HVAC system and second bathroom. That said, there is a faint smell in the house that I attributed to the home's age. I'm sure the owner has plans for additional projects, so do expect some 'older' features, but completely usable. The location was perfect for me as I have family in Etowah. I will say this property is head and shoulders above any hotel you may find in the area. Overall, I would stay in this property again when returning to visit family.
