The host made our stay so welcoming. Right down to fresh snicker doodles and a kind note.We were in a very stressful transition of moving from Maine to Ohio, and their place allowed us to warm and comfortable with our dog and have a safe place for her to explore outside. It was also a huge relief to have a safe place for our uhaul cargo trailer to sit while we drove our car to various appointments for closing on our house.Great experience!
