This house was beautiful. It had more space than we needed, and seemed to have everything you would want to be comfortable. We were in town for special training for our two dogs, and chose this particular house specifically because of the backyard. When we arrived, my husband pointed out the backyard was not enclosed! This was extremely disappointing! We were looking forward to being able to let the dogs out to play, but without the yard being enclosed, we had to keep them on a leash. It didn’t ruin our stay, but I would strongly recommend it be disclosed in the description that the yard is not completely fenced in (and, after the fact, I saw other reviews with the same comment). Also, we knew someone was living downstairs, but weren’t aware they had a dog (fortunately, we were inside when I saw the dog in the back yard). Our dogs are friendly, but since I didn’t know anything about this dog, I decided to play it safe and keep them away. It would have been nice to have been informed about the dog, and the lack of an enclosed backyard, before arriving.
