Disliked: Listing accuracy
To start, the cottage was nice and new. It stated that it slept 6, which was accurate with the two bedroom and the pullout couch, however it was not made clear that the property owner also lived on the site. He was pleasant/nice, but it was a bit uncomfortable and didn't feel private as the large windows faced his home and there were security cameras facing the direction of the cottage. There was not a lot of storage to place your luggage and/or personal belongings. The kitchen was small and not a lot of space in the cupboards to store your food needed during the stay.There was not enough comfortable seating, one couch and several wooden chairs. There was only one lamp in one of the bedrooms, which was inconvenient if you needed light without waking the other party in the room. For the price, I don't think I would rent here again based on the details above.
