Comfortable and clean place to stay for the Orion

We and our Lab had a great stay! The home was clean and spacious, and the large fenced yard was great to relax outside. The street was quiet. The home is close to Swan Creek Greenway, a trail we hiked both days, and less than half an hour from the Orion Amphitheater, with multiple easy routes to get there. The place obviously has a story, which I love, and the hosts were great! We can’t wait to come back!

Liked: Location
The house and fenced-in backyard are beautiful and Shawn and Sandi are excellent hosts! We were traveling from Florida to Indiana and needed a place to stay close to the interstate that would accommodate our dogs. It sounds like an easy thing to find, but many properties listed as “pet-friendly” were either partially or totally unfenced which wouldn’t work for us. Very clean and comfortable!! 10 out of 10 stars!!
