My husband and I came with our 1 year old son and dog. They had a baby gate in the basement and we also brought one so it was easily baby-proofed. It was clean and we felt very comfortable. The fenced in backyard was what sold us on this rental; great for a dog! We had a great vacation!
Helpful tips If you are traveling with baby/toddler: a pack and play can fit at the foot of the bed in the small bedroom; fits in the little nook in the big bedroom too ( just need to move the table).
If you have a kiddo that needs white noise to sleep; playing it in the big bedroom drowns out the sounds from the house ( you can watch tv in living room while baby sleeps in bedroom)
