We enjoyed staying at Carl's place. He made sure the house was ready and equipped for our stay even provided a dog sheet for our dogs. The garden is gorgeous. The backyard is separate from the house. It was for the most part closed off. We were a little hesitant to let our dogs loose in the backyard. There are plenty of dog parks near by that we visited instead. We would eat every night on the patio. Thank you for letting us stay at your home. We would come back in a heart beat.
