Pet-friendly stays are mentioned

A couple of reviews mention traveling with a dog and describe that the retreat worked well for their situation. One guest specifically notes the ability to bring a dog for the weekend and says the pet enjoyed it as well. These comments focus on convenience for pet owners rather than day-to-day services.

Pricing feels high to some

Some reviewers flag the cost as higher than expected.

While one review highlights “great prices,” another notes the stay is a little pricey. Even in the higher-cost comment, the guest still frames it as tied to the overall experience, rather than a poor value. Overall, cost comes up less often than the setting, cleanliness, and host experience.
