As owners of a large retriever we fully understand how comforting it is to have all members of the family present no matter how many legs they possess. The  full and queen  pillow top beds will prove to be very comfortable.  The  couch has room for an extra sleeper along with extra blankets in the guest bedroom closet is also an option.    *Please note that we have always placed a high degree of emphasis on cleanliness (see our reviews) and do our best  to continue to do so.  **Be aware that desirable time frames of peak  "season" tend to book many months prior.
