We absolutely loved the house! The back yard was the highlight of the stay for our dogs. Huge back yard and view of the river was amazing. The house is well stocked and comfortable. House was easy to find and parking was great. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone with pets…

Wow. Amazing AirBnB. We ended up extending on the first day that we got there because we enjoyed it so much. I would've extended it longer if we could have.
