Doug is a fantastic host. Our unexpected stay was a last-minute trip, and we were all a little stressed out to be traveling. The location and home are great; however, there is a strong odor that might affect someone. I tend to have allergies and am sensitive to smells, especially anything related to a cat. I'm not 100% sure what the smell was, but it is pretty strong and diminishes from how excellent everything else is. I would have wanted someone to post about it, so I'm sharing; outside of that, it is a wonderful home in a peaceful, relaxing setting.
