Charming and quaint
We were in the area with our dogs to explore the state parks, and this place worked out well for us. It was clean, charming, and met all our needs. The fenced backyard was a huge bonus for the pups! With the cooler temps and a nice evening breeze, we ended up spending our nights out on the front porch, and that was a perfect way to end each day.
