We had a great time! The house was excellent and Heather was amazing! We have a large dog that goes everywhere with us and we loved there was no weight limit for him or mandatory kennel! My husband actually forgot to click that we would be bringing him and I didn't realize until the day before. Got in touch with Heather and she immediately fixed it. Would absolutely go back. Also love the history of the house
