Great to bring a dog but some owners left dog poop in the dog run. It may help if the grass was cut short otherwise a great spot and so dog friendly. Thanks!

The property was clean, though there was a chemical ordor in the room. The ordor was very pronounced and only dissipated with the windows open. When we requested it be checked the staff person, the housekeeper, was very rude and did nothing.

Nice clean room only complaint was shower very small and no weights on shower curtain so water got on bathroom floor. Sink was cute looking but not deep enough to put your hands under faucet to wash hands. Maybe some kind of shelves to but toiletries on.

Just stayed 1 night with our dog. We were limited by our dog as to which room we could pick. The dog fee is very reasonable, stayed at other places in the area and they over charge for the pet fee. It did the trick for what we needed. Room was very clean, bed was comfortable. Small refrigerator and microwave. It’s an easy drive to anywhere in the area. I do recommend.
