I spent 5 nites at this location and it was delightful. Exactly as pictured. Quiet, spacious and Dog Friendly! The yard was lovely and you're encouraged to make use of it. Nice Adirondack chairs around the fire pit in a lush lawn. Doggie bags were supplied! So were dog bowls should you need! And there's a really sweet park a very short walk away for the hound if you want. Derik, the manager, was great. Prompt messaging, clear instructions and always available if anything comes up. I am hoping this location is available next time im in town. Will use them again hands down!
