If you plan to use the grill during your visit, feel free to message us at least a day before check-in so we can ensure a full tank is ready for you. If you arrive and find the tank low or empty, just reach out to us via chat, we’re more than happy to assist!

All dog poop left in the backyard/front yard must be picked up, please! (We provide supplies for this!)

Liked: Cleanliness
The home was very clean although somewhat stark. Was not warm and welcoming as described. Our host was very good and the bed was comfortable. Located in a good, quiet neighborhood and close to plenty of retail stores. The dog park in the neighborhood is very nice.Nice house, could use maintenance.
