The host was very quick to communicate with us. One should be comfortable with the small dog that is owned by the host(s). We enjoyed soaking in the hot tub/pool, however, the dog Luna constantly asked for our attention so be ready to give lovings! Sweet girl but perhaps a bit much for our long week of hiking. A lot of people seem to be living here or perhaps they were just visiting during our arrival but make note of that. I, personally was a little uncomfortable not knowing who all was in the home.
