An excellent pet-friendly space -- considering many rental locations don't allow pets. Our dog, Farley, had an excellent time running through the fields! The house was cozy and very accommodating for several people, if/as needed. And lastly, the hosts couldn't be more welcoming and flexible ---responding to any questions I had very quickly and just being flexible and understanding overall. Will stay there again for sure. :-)
