This is the most amazing, and private little hideaway. Completely fenced off yard for the puppy children to come along. Everything was set up perfectly and thoughtfully. Everything to make it feel like a perfect, comfy home away from home. And for the bird lovers.... there are SO many varieties. To wake up and listen to them from the screened in porch is something i cannot put into words. I highly recommend.
