My husband had a trip with our dog & this place was perfect! Gas station & dog park within walking distance. He said with how old the property must be he was very impressed on how clean everything was. Side note: I had called the property beforehand and their response time & customer service was great! We would definitely recommend to other & boom again for future trips!

Very nice having a little self-contained cottage. Owner came out to make sure I got in okay (late arrival). Only thing that's a potential stumbling block is low availability of bedside power, due to construction age, which I was easily able to deal with. HIGHLY recommended.
