"We really enjoyed our month long stay at Nellie's. A fenced in back yard for the pups and a screened porch were much enjoyed, as well as a well stocked kitchen with a blender, microwave, etc. Convenient washer and dryer, two bathrooms. All in a beautiful rural area with horses and within a few minutes from the World Equestrian Center. The host was easily reachable and super friendly (although we really did not have to contact her). My only question: the ad says there is a hot tub/whirlpool, which I did not see---- (nor did we need!) Just a heads up for future renters---"
