Close to airport and clean

We needed a location close to the airport for an early departure, we were very pleased with the cleanliness of the property and would have stayed longer to explore the area.

Property was not ideal in that it was long and narrow with parking along the entire outside. A driveway surrounds the property with plenty of parking which did feel safe. It was just challenging to take your dog to use the bathroom. There was a little patch of rocks in the corner that did the trick. Because there wasn't other grass nearby either. But other than that, this place was fantastic.
