Clean, cute - absolutely the most welcoming place for dogs. They give a generous dog welcome kit, with a sheet, rug, treats, etc. They have a clean, convenient, fenced and safe dog run.

Nicely outfitted rooms, central lawn area, pleasant lounge area, gracious staff. Nice that it dog friendly. Challenge: mattresses soft on edges so usable surface smaller than size; dog space outside smaller than expected, long narrow run.
