Property was welcoming to us & our little dog, very clean & easy to get into & out of. Good location for us, close to everything. We were surprised it was so small, looked bigger in the pictures, but that is on us. The only problem we had was the bed was very mushy, some people might enjoy it, but 2 senior citizens & 1 with a bad back did not. Host was very freindly & helpful!

Clean, Quiet, and Location!
We had a great stay at this property! We visited during the winter and during a snow storm and still had a great time. They were even willing to accommodate an early check in due to weather conditions. It’s located right off of TART trail and only a short drive to downtown. It was clean and quiet! We would definitely stay here again.
