This house is an oxymoron. It has great facilities to enjoy the outdoors with dogs (Being a long leash, as fence has openings. ). However, the house itself has antique furniture which is much better suited for short, thin people. It is beautiful, but not something you would want a dog to gnaw, so property is not well- suited to young dogs. Older, well-mannered dogs - no problem. We brought three dogs, two older and one young pup. Carpeting throughout is nice, but again,not as dog friendly as. Hard surface would be. House has all the amenities to make short, thin to average-sized people have a wonderful stay. Beautiful screened porch, living room, bedrooms, etc. Wonderful, gracious hosts. Big yard, lots of outdoor seating and tables, BBQ grill. There is an adjoining unit, perfect for traveling for a family reunion. Dog friendly for mature, well behaved dogs. Not so much for pups.
