Everything was reasonably fine. The little porch area could have been cleaner. The sheets on my bed did not stay secured and I couldn’t pull the bed out to retuck them in. The grill did not work well. Other than that, the cottage was well equipped and comfortable. The location was perfect with everything walkable. I enjoyed my stay very much and will come back again when my schedule allows it.I had no communication with the host during my stay which is a good thing as I had no issues to address.

The location is wonderful. The kitchen is very well equipped, and Mary was so responsive. The bath tub is first rate. The property is on a corner lot in a very nice neighborhood. We enjoyed the warmth of the fire pit and the coziness of the side porch. Ample parking was great when our cousins visited.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
It was walkable to town. My grandkids stay 2 nights and liked walking about the neighborhood. The place was out dated for our taste. Couches need to be replaced (felt and looked like something you’d find at the Salvation Army 35 years old). Silverware drawer was hard to open. The mattresses need replacing. The bathrooms were good and one was updated. We left a day early with the cottage exactly the way we found it. If you have kids be careful of a bin with half full liquor. We did enjoy the fresh breeze and open space on the deck.

Hi Suzanne - I really hope this poor review wasn’t because I would not allow a full refund cancellation 4 days before your stay. Sorry the cottage was not as up to what you were expecting. The pictures are very accurate. Cottage is spotless but cottage looking, yes. No surprises. Two of the four beds were replaced 2 weeks before your stay. The other two have never been complained about (neither were the replaced ones). The couches always have new couch covers. If the look of couch covers looks like they are from a Salvation Army 35 years ago. I can’t be sure what you are used to, but again, they are in pictures. Thank you for letting me know about the silverware drawer. The liquor should not be accessible. So sorry about that. They are stored tightly among other bins in our utility closet. Not sure how those were exposed. I’m sorry the cottage was not up to par and again I’m sorry I would not provide you with a refund for such short notice in the peak of summer. Our policy is pretty clear. We appreciate you staying. Mary
