Thank you for the review! We’re glad you enjoyed the house overall. We also appreciate the feedback about the shower and will keep that in mind as we look for ways to continue improving the home. We’d love to host you again!
We loved staying in this charming little cottage. The yellow door and yellow chairs drew us in and we were not disappointed! Sitting on the porch and watching fireflies and squirrels and listening to bird song in the quiet neighborhood was a daily highlight. The beds were comfortable, the shower was great, and the kitchen was well-appointed. Although a 1890 gem, it didn’t smell musty and the only evidence of its age were the wonderful interior transom windows. We highly recommend the Washington Cottage.

Our experience was unfortunately very disappointing due to the overall cleanliness and condition of the property.Upon arrival, there was a very strong, persistent musty/mold-like odor throughout the home that repeatedly woke us during the night. We also found visible mold in the bathroom. With a one-year-old traveling with us, the cleanliness of the floors was especially concerning. After only about an hour of crawling, our son's knees were visibly dirty, so we had to purchase our own cleaning supplies and spend part of our vacation cleaning the floors and surfaces to make the space feel safe for him.I did reach out to the host as a courtesy to make them aware of the issues and there was no immediate cleaning solution available, and the odor was so strong that we were unable to get comfortable in the home. There were also maintenance issues that made caring for our one-year-old difficult. The bathtub drain would not close properly, and the shower would not completely shut off while trying to fill the tub, making it impossible to give him a proper bath. We also noticed garbage left outside the property. Ultimately, the combination of the cleanliness concerns, persistent odor, visible mold, and maintenance issues caused us to cut our trip short and leave a day earlier than planned. I always try to be fair and give hosts the opportunity to address concerns directly, which is why I contacted the host during our stay. Unfortunately, the property did not meet our expectations.

We enjoyed our stay. The home was clean and well-appointed with everything we needed. I will say the booking was confusing because the site said one price, but when I went to book it, there was a higher price. There was also no working porch light, so it was impossible to see the key pad to enter our code. I did call and was helped, but I had to get a separate flashlight. The house is very clean, but it is old and smells somewhat musty, but did not affect us in a profound way, just annoying. The documents to sign were not sent electronically until the morning we were to leave to travel there. That was annoying to have to do it in the midst of getting ready to travel. The shower was not working at first, but after alerting the owners, it was quickly fixed. I would suggest getting a handrail on the front steps. My husband is not real stable on his feet, and almost fell even though it is only a few steps. It is a nice place to stay, the beds were very comfortable and the house was nice and cozy even though it was very cold while we were there.
