If I could give this place extra stars, I would! Our stay here was fantastic. I don't know if I didn't read the reviews closely enough, but the home is within a block to both a grocery store and a coffee shop, which we were thrilled to learn. The house has central air that works well, but Cherylann also had a number of fans available that really helped craft that perfect level of background noise to sleep. We stayed here to visit my friends who live in The Gulch and only had a 12min drive in and out of the city, barring the one time we had to fight traffic going to the football game, but that wasn't even that bad once we realized we could just go around it. The pantry was stocked with snacks and there were a ton of nice touches around in case we'd forgotten anything. If we come back down this way, we will definitely stay here again.
For the pet parents: the fenced in backyard was perfect to let our dog out, and there's even an optional doggy door if that's what your pal is used to, although we didn't use it. Fence is very secure, only thing is if your dog is a quick digger I wouldn't let them out there unsupervised for long, but unless they're really tunneling or very small and determined, there's not enough space to get out underneath. There were a few options of spaces to set up our large kennel which was nice. I was glad I brought a couple extra blankets because the couches ended up being a really nice leather and by covering them up we didn't need to worry about our boy's nails at all. Last thing, if you visit with your pup, I definitely recommend shopping at the Fatherland District and specifically visiting Baxter Bailey and Co, all of the non-food stores were very welcoming to us and our pup and he was downright spoiled in the pet store with treats and attention.
