There are not a lot of places that will allow a cat but Rich and Rose said "No problem!" Our boy is a city dweller who would rather roam free in the country and this was the perfect place for him! We visited in July which was kinda dumb on our part because it was so hot. Rich had put out extra fans and cranked the air conditioning up but it was no match for 100+ degrees so we were pretty hot. But it's really a fun place to hang out, a fire pit, a propane and charcoal grill and so quiet! It's a cozy spot but quite comfortable, not at all buggy outside. Rich brought us a bag of ice, left us a bowl of his marvelous cherries and set up the propane grill. Very responsive to all our needs except being able to do anything about the heat. Next time we'll visit in October! Thanks for welcoming Prince, the cat! He and we loved it!
