Avoid

We thought we had a good experience at this property until a couple of days after we left. We stayed only 2 nights and left the property clean not even a dirty dish was left in the unit. The unit didn’t have a dishwasher and we washed every item we used, dried them and put them away. We didn’t track in a bunch of dirt or mud so the unit was in great condition when we left. Since we were staying in a place that our toy poodle had not been in, we held her in our arms as we came in the door to the unit and put a diaper on her. She was directly with us all the time we were in the unit with a diaper on. We kept the diaper on her until we were ready to take her outside to potty and took it off. At no time did she soil her diaper in any manner.

We purchased the additional trip insurance for peace of mind in the unit just incase we broke a dish etc which didn’t happen. The unit is located among pine trees about 6 miles from Mineola, TX surrounded by pine trees. There is not a garage or carport so our vehicle was pelted with pine cones and pine needles. While in the unit, a huge roach ran up the wall by the tv. Since the unit is located in the woods of East Texas this isn’t unusual. The train tracks are a short distance away, and train whistles blew loudly all day and night.

While sitting on the couch watching tv the sun came in the kitchen window and was blinding. I had read about the window and the lack of privacy but thought the host would have taken care of it. A window in the bathroom and the kitchen has no coverage for privacy.

The host gave us a bad rating. A couple of days had passed after we left thinking all is well and the host notified me that the area rug in the living room had been discovered by the cleaning lady to be urine soaked. The host said the rug was so urine soaked it had to be removed and professionally cleaned. I told the host that this was impossible and why I know it’s impossible. The host filed a request for damages to the rug in excess of $200. The host then sent an additional message that she isn’t able to rent the unit, had to decline rentals for a week to get the rug professionally cleaned. I do not recommend anyone to stay in any unit this host manages.

Great food, pet friendly covered patio

Parker and I visited the Buffalo Grill in Hugo, OK a nice drive from Paris, TX.

The Buffalo Grill has eight pet friendly picnic tables on a covered patio and they provide table service.

The food is excellent and those paying cash receive a discount.

The ladies bathroom was visited. It was very clean and included a changing table for those needing a changing table.

Awesome very pet friendly

Found the restaurant on bringfido.com. The food was awesome as was the service. The restaurant has three (3) tables outside for those wanting to bring their fuzzy faces family members with them. Excellent experience from the food all the way to the fact staff checked on us while eating at a patio table and brought water out for our fuzzy face. Definitely recommend when in the Tyler, Texas area.
