It was a beautiful house and the dog friendliness was really great for us. My family had a good time just relaxing and spending time together. However, tthis place seems less suited for a short, stay-in-the-house kind of vacation than for a group of friends going to Vegas who want to stay off the strip. If your family were going to stay here for longer than a day or two, then this place is great, but for a short trip it has the very bare minimum of household things. Overall, we had a good time and were comfortable in the home but I probably won't stay here again because it wasn't exactly what I was looking for on this trip.
