First, the complaints: - The handles of the table knives are too heavy, and they always slide off the plate; - One of the cooking spoons, the bowl of the spoon is much much lighter than the handle, and it tends to flip out of the pot; - There's not much counter space, because all the appliances you might need are right there on the counter; - The weight on the pull cord for the kitchen light is 5 ft 7 in off the ground, and it will invariably bop you on the head as you go to use the bathroom at night. "That's it? *Those* are your complaints?"Yes, that's it. This has been one of the best places we have ever stayed, and we regret leaving it to go home. The view from the screened in porch is so good, the quiet so deep, that we almost never left the cottage, except that we had places we always go in our 25 years of visiting this part of Maine. But we've never been in a place so quiet, so peaceful, with a lovely outside room, and we will miss it, until next year, hopefully. Yes, it's cozy and compact, which means there's not a lot of storage for your belongings. It would be hard to come here with children, to not have the spare bedroom as a place to put some luggage. But that's for us, and might not be a problem for more seasoned travelers. There's also not a lot of place to store food, so we used the kitchen table, which was okay because we were always at the table on the outside porch. You won't regret coming here, you'll just regret having to leave it.
