My first impression was about the neighborhood: tree-lined streets with well-established, nicely kept homes.
As I pulled into the driveway I noticed the lovely green shrubs, plants and grassy area. After closing the gate behind me, I let the dogs out into the completely fenced area. And if you are wondering the fence is 8 feet tall except for the iron gate to the driveway. I guess it's about 5-6 feet tall.
Stepping inside the home I began feeling like I was house-sitting and not entering a vacation rental. You could tell this home is well-loved and used by its owner.
Everything you need is in the well-equipped, large kitchen. The bedrooms are very nice size and comfortable.
If you love playing the piano, baby grand is waiting.
Book reader? There is a nice library.
Since I was visiting my son and his wife, I wasn't here for sightseeing or entertainment. He lives just 2 miles from this home so we were like neighbors. They came over and we chatted and cooked. I went to their home and we chatted and cooked. We had a lovely time together.
Keep in mind this is AnyWhere, USA so you have all the restaurants you might be used to: Olive Garden, Cheddars, Jason's Deli, Smoothie King and much more. We went to a couple of these and had even more time to share.
If you are looking for a place to stay in the area with your dogs, this would be my #1 choice. I WILL be back!
