We have a Stoneybrook model. Love the CYV! We, too, have a dog and it is perfect. We have a doggie door built into the screening of our lanai, so we just open our slider and off he goes. Washer and dryer is in the garage. I don't like it there, but that is the only complaint I have. We are on a view lot, so we have the high side fencing but low back fencing. There is no feeling of claustrophobic or being boxed in. If you can swing it, check out view lots that give you the more open feel. We live "up North" so we have a big back yard and a two car garage.
Why don't you rent one for a month or two and see how you like it before you make the purchase?
