Comforts of home while away from home.
This rental property suited our needs with the fenced in backyard for our dogs. The neighborhood was quiet, unfortunately no sidewalks for morning dog walks but we were able to manage… plus the area has tons of places to walk dogs around the area lakes. The house is small but the beds are comfy and the shower has good pressure.
