As other reviewers mentioned, you do hear the dogs a bit but Laurel is very clear about that in the posting and in her communication. It didn’t bother us one bit.
We only stayed one night, but the sounds of the birds and the bugs were magical. We spent most of the evening sitting on the porch listening, and it was calming and restorative. Laurel was great with communication, check-in was easy, and Laurel even left some fresh banana bread and fruits - it was a lovely, delicious touch to an already pleasant stay :)
