This is a great place if you're traveling with pets. My dog was comfortable & the backyard was perfect for him (it's not fenced if your dog needs that). Cozy & comfortable house. The best thing about this place is the location. We were close to everything we wanted to do. Communication with the host was always prompt & helpful. The house was clean & the parking was super convenient.

In Gville for Graduations. Our prior VRBO reservation made a year in advance cancelled at the last hour but Lorne saved us. Cottage was as advertised, well equipped and worked perfectly. Only VRBO property we've had in 20 years that offered complete coffee and continental breakfast service. Very surprised and pleased. Lorne very responsive and helpful; were stressed about visit but it went without a hitch. We're grateful and would stay again.
