Our stay with Grand Welcome Austin turned into one of the most stressful travel experiences we’ve ever had. We were moved to a different property with less than 48 hours’ notice on a holiday weekend. Yes, they sent the listing link, but canceling wasn’t actually possible. Everything else was booked, and we had important realtor appointments scheduled that we’d been planning for weeks. We had no choice but to accept the switch.What happened next was heartbreaking. The replacement property was labeled “pet‑friendly,” but it was anything but safe. Our dog found something near the fire pit and ate it before we could stop him. Within minutes he became disoriented and sick in a way we’d never seen. We rushed him 56 miles to the emergency vet, terrified the entire drive. The vet confirmed through symptoms and bloodwork that it had to be mamajuana. We didn’t have a photo because he swallowed it, but the diagnosis was clear. The visit cost 650, but honestly, the fear of losing him was the part that stayed with us.This trip was supposed to be about finding our next home. Instead, it became a night of panic, tears, and watching our dog suffer because of unsafe conditions at a property we never chose. I truly hope future guests are given accurate information and that no one else has to go through something like this.
