Cottage Retreat in the City

Jackie, thanks for taking time to leave this review. I would like to clarify for future guests that the wifi issue will be completely fixed 8/15 as well as the following: 1) I was immediately responsive to Jackie’s multiple messages throughout her stay about the wifi not working. Jackie used the cottage as a place to work remotely and needed reliable video conferencing etc. Unfortunately, the extender failed during her stay. On top of that, it is no longer supported in updates. As such, I had the network guy come to the house as soon as he had availability so we could find a solution. It is important to note that until Jackie’s stay, not one guest has complained about the wifi since about 1.5 years ago when the first outdoor extender failed (and which I had replaced immediately during that guest’s stay). 2) I’m spending $800+ on an mesh system and it will be completely installed 8/15, with the secondary unit being installed outside in a weather proof box (moved from inside the house where it was placed temporarily…and possibly why it was spotty a couple of time for Jackie after initial install). Once the secondary unit is installed outside (closer to the cottage w/out barriers), the cottage will have more than sufficient wifi for vacationers and it should allow for video conferencing etc for those who need to do work during their stay. 3) The kitchen is fully furnished with above average pots/pans utensils, knives, glassware and tableware settings for 4 (the cottage is a 2-person cottage). Dish soap is provided (it seems someone took the Palmolive soap I had as a backup under the sink for when the Myers soap on the counter ran out) as well as dishwasher detergent. I also provide laundry detergent and bleach. If you run out during your stay, it is the guest’s responsibility let me know as there is no daily cleaning service (however, cleaning supplies are also provided in the event they are needed). 4) For each new guest, there's a starter roll of paper towels for kitchen, one of toilet paper and a starter bar of soap for the bathroom. 5) If you’re a guest considering staying at the cottage for your vacation, please know that I do my very best to create a comfortable vacation spot, and am very responsive to questions and concerns.
