The house was exactly as described and just what our family was looking for. The neighborhood was quiet and neighbors were very friendly. The fenced in back yard was great for our fur baby. I wasn’t a fan of the bed in the main bedroom (not what I’m used to) but my husband liked it. My teen boys said their beds were very comfy. Even though the house is pet friendly, it smelled good and was very clean. I would definitely recommend this house for a family with pets.
