I'm working on adding more foliage so it will feel more enclosed just a spot to set up a tent for the night. fire pit and wood included There is an extra charge for use of my bathroom. $5 per person per night My street is pretty quiet, although there can be a lot of morning traffic noise, school busses, etc The Metra is about a 10 min walk from my house and it is about a 10 min drive to the expressway My black lab Chase will be out sometimes on a chain. He is friendly but does like to jump. He does listen if you're firm with him.
