Maria and Gary's place didn't disappoint. Coco, the shepherd is indeed the friendliest German Shepherd I have ever met and she is part of a wonderful family with Maria and Gary. They were welcoming and generous with their use of a shelf in the fridge, coffee on the counter, and outdoor furniture (though it rained while I was there). Their warm personalities and generous use of kitchen amenities including pots and pans, dishes, and silverware made the stay even more inviting. I hope to be back!
