House by a babbling brook Conway ski areas

Renting and the immediate confirmation was easy, finding it was easy, relaxing was easy, overall it was a great place to visit. Lots of waterfalls and covered bridges in the area. Beautiful mountains and waterways surround the area.

Pros-location was ideal for lakes and water activities. I thought it was going to be more isolated (neighbors on both sides maybe 100 yards away) the babbling brook was delightful, can hear from back bedrooms, fire wood was plentiful and the overall abundance of things to see and do are what makes it wonderful. Cottage was well setup for dishes but bring dish soap, paper towels and toilet paper. Cons- According to owner, VRBO double booked the property. This meant that the owner called me before I arrived, once I arrived and again several times Saturday asking when I was going to check out so the cleaning lady could come and with it being Father's Day weekend, everyone wanted to plan something. Key Factor! I am the paying guest! Please do not rush or expect an answer when someone is coming to relax. Another pro/con there is an alarm system with ADT however, was not disclosed or listed before I arrived and the alarm went off inside for approximately 15 mins upon arrival. It took several attempts to reach owner who then said police would arrive because ADT notified them and they did arrive to check in on us. Not a great start to the weekend. There are only screens in a few windows which makes sleeping very hot! Had to go to Walmart to purchase 2 fans. (By choice) The trash can was the worst. For paying a cleaning fee, I would have expected that trash would be removed from can from previous guest and the can cleaned. There was a fresh bag but a terrible odor was still present. When I pulled the "new" trash bag from the can, I found all kinds of rotten food in the bottom of the can but the worst part was the dead mice that were in the can rotting away!! The smell of moth balls was not as pungent as other commentary said it was and cottage could have been cleaner especially knowing that a professional is coming in after you. The water has an odor too due to the natural granite and was expected because I read the reviews but did not expect it to be so hard on your body. It was a beautiful place to relax and I would come back again despite the few issues and problems I encountered. The town, cottage and people made the trip worthwhile and nothing is perfect in the world but this cottage helps you get close for a moment. T Y
