My husband and I had a wonderful weekend stay with Monica! The location was absolutely perfect - everything was under 10 min away and I can't say enough about how great that was. We brought our dog with us and she had a great time chasing a ball in the yard. There was plenty of room. Our dog is a little leash aggressive and it wasn't clear to me before we got there that Monica's dog would be in the yard from time to time as well. If you are bringing a dog that may have an issue with other dogs, I'd recommend you coordinate with Monica when your pup will be in the yard. Also, we didn't close the gate at the end of the driveway and two dogs (maybe stray?) wandered into the yard one night when our dog was out there. It sounded like this was a first, but I'd also recommend you close the gate to avoid any issues. The house itself was great and the deck is beautiful. Monica also had board games and puzzles, which was very thoughtful. Overall, an excellent stay and Monica was very communicative and helpful throughout. We would definitely stay here again!
