This welcoming home was the perfect size for me and my two small dogs. The location is easily accessible off the main highway, but in a private cul-de-sac which was very quiet and peaceful. The home is tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Perfect get-away for a small family or two couples. I appreciate Sarah providing all the information I needed and checking in with me during my stay.
