Tahira's family is so kind! We are Great Dane lovers and they have two Great Danes so that was an awesome surprise when we walked in and we felt right at home with all (4) of their well behaved dogs. All very sweet and friendly. The pool is for sure a perk!! The kids are very sweet. You do have to like young children and dogs to stay at this home or it won't be a good fit for you. We adore dogs and have young children so it was a perfect fit for us and the family treats you as their own. If you have kids this is a great place because your kids can play with their kids! We will return!
