Fun Weekend Visit
Megan was very easy to communicate with and accommodating. She stocks her place with things to help make your stay comfortable and easy even for our fur baby. The thoughtfulness of having resources out for things around the area, welcoming snacks, extra blankets and pillows, stocked kitchen essentials for cooking and cleaning, bathroom essentials, and labels indicating where stuff are located along with bed, treats, and toys for fur baby was perfect.
