We loved our stay here! it was pet friendly and had so much room in the front and back yard to play for him and the kids. Loved that there was a grill as well and toys for the kids to play with. They had the checkout list posted on the fridge which was nice and easy to follow. It was easy to stay cool with each room having it's own AC. Lots of DVD's for the kids as well for family movie nights. They had a lot of games to play with for inside and outside. Poop scoopers to assist with cleaning up after your pet. Well stocked with stuff to use for the grill as well. If you are looking for a great place to stay with lots of outdoor room and space this is the one!

Enjoyed our stay! Roomy, comfortable, lots of activities. The dishwasher seemed to have difficulty getting started. Would immediately shut off after starting and would then beep periodically. Not a big deal. We just washed our dishes by hand. Maybe it was in safety lock mode and we couldn't figure out how to turn that feature off. That was the only small detail we had a problem with.
