From the photos we thought this would be a quaint little cottage in the woods at the edge of town. It's a cute older cottage with beautiful wood floors and many original features. Unfortunately, somewhere in its history there were occupants who were heavy smokers. The smell was obvious and unpleasant for us. It is an older home in a sometimes damp environment, so an expected musty smell was also present. Fortunately, there are lots of windows and doors that opened so we were able to air it out a bit. It was well appointed with nice furniture, remodeled bathroom, and very comfortable king size bed with lots of cozy bedding. The kitchen could use a deep cleaning. The view out two sides of the cottage is wonderful, and the back deck is quiet, peaceful and private. The front overlooks the messy construction area of the home next to cottage. The driveway in front of the cottage was partially blocked with building materials and equipment which we had to navigate around to get in and out. The neighboring lot is a commercial wood lot and under construction, so the view from the front porch was disappointing. We were there over a weekend, but Monday morning brought construction workers in the front yard and activity at the wood lot. We wanted to love this cottage, but in spite of its many positives, we disappointed. I'm sure it would work well for others, just not us.
