As pet parents and consistently travelling for work with our old dog, its really hard for us to find spaces which are spacious, serene and warm/welcome to dogs. Steephen's home was a rare find with so much land with trees around the house for us to walk with our dog and the location next to the backwater is an added beauty. Overall really loved the house, well maintained, clean, has all the facilities for a comfortable stay, very lush with trees and birds, had privacy and the walks next to the backwater behind the property was beautiful and serene. And a special thank you to their lovely caretaker filomina!
