All in all, the place was affordable and equipped for our family of four to relax, eat, and shower after a long drive. I just think the host has a few kinks to iron out to make it better. Our stay wasn't as good as I'd expected. An hour before we were to check in, I asked for the keyless check-in instructions and the reply was just confusing, so we guessed what she meant to say and were able to check in. We had wanted to use the swimming pool but there was a handwritten note on the door in the kitchen (that we presume lead to the backyard and pool) that warned, "There is a Rottie on the other side..." We took this as a warning to not open this door. I sent the host a message on Airbnb to let her know we'd like to use the pool after dinner if the dog was not going to be back there. We watched two movies on the tv and then got a response from the host, apologizing for her typos in another message and apologizing for being slow to respond but didn't say anything about the pool. It was late so I didn't reply or push the pool issue anymore. We slept well, ate breakfast, packed up and checked out (we had only booked one night). A couple hours later she apologized for not responding to me about the pool/dog situation during our stay. I'm not sure why things turned out the way they did but I'm sure it would have been 100% better had she left a WELCOME sign for us to enjoy the pool instead of what we got.
