Interesting stay. Lots of games indoor and out. Only issues were bathroom and bedroom doors would automatically lock; as well, it’s located on the highway.
Great stay. Great house. Only issue was there was lots of dog hair on the couches and on the carpet where the table was. Granted I do understand it’s a dog friendly location. There is a pellet grill on the location and a hot plate left that was not described. We did prepare and everything else worked out.

The water heater quit working on the second day of our stay. The last two days we were there we could not shower. They did not offer us any amenities or reduce our bill. This is a former vet clinic turned into a VRBO.
