Valerie’s place is a really gorgeous little guest house! There were a lot of personal touches we appreciated, like yogurt in the fridge and a pinboard for posting a Polaroid of our dog-children. There were a few details about the property that needed to be updated online, though. We had chosen this stay because we liked the idea of having direct access to nature to take our dogs on walks, but the trail leading from the cute little bridge on the creek was completely overgrown and inaccessible. The freezer was also broken when we visited, which meant we couldn’t re-freeze the ice packs we had been using to keep our dogs’ wet food on the road. It also might be important for some people to know that there is no sink in the bathroom, which means there is not much privacy for brushing teeth, doing makeup, etc. since the kitchen sink must be used for everything. But overall, we enjoyed our stay and are so grateful our dogs were welcome; the issues we encountered weren’t dealbreakers, just small details to amend.
