I stayed at Ellen's for two weeks and I couldn't have been happier. with the way my visit turned out. Location-wise it was perfect for me and what I needed to do. My dogs loved the lush, private outdoor garden, patio space and especially the fountain as they had never seen or experienced one before. And the doggy door was a godsend if I was running a little late or needed a little extra sleep any given morning. Ellen was super friendly and responded to texts within minutes. It's no surprise she's such a highly-rated host.
