Owner was thoughtful in providing some amenities like a high chair for babies, step stool for smaller kids in the washroom, and plastic kids plates/cups. There was ample cookware and small appliances to cook for the group without having to reuse pots and pans. Small things like dish soap, cleaning products, dishwasher pods, laundry detergent and garbage bags were provided. Great to not have to think about bringing those things. Brand new BBQ that worked perfectly. A few improvements we would recommend to bring this space to a great experience. Provide more cutlery. The other reviews are true about insufficient cutlery... literally had less than 10 each of forks/knives/spoons (owner provided disposable forks), with large groups we have to wash after each meal. Same with cups/mugs. Dishwasher is in dire need of repair. Its old and works, but its falling apart. Owner also should invest in larger actual garbage cans. He gave us a large cardbord box lined with garbage bag to use as the 'bin' in the kitchen. Electrical switches in this house were so confusing. Exposed receptacles (not live) did not give us impression that the electrical wiring was done properly/safely. Please cap the boxes so kids don't go poking their fingers in them. Would also recommend adding some floor lamps. It got dark at night and the ceilig pot lights were too bright to turn on with people sleeping in the loft area. Door knobs need to be replaced. Felt like they were going to fall off every time we opened the doors. The space generally was not 'cleaned' thoroughly. Alot of dust bunnies, visible spider webs on interior door frames, and fruit flies stuck to the underside of the hood vent light... Backyard patio Exterior seating could use a power wash and replacement of the seat cushions. They were quite dirty and looked like they were never stored so we did not want to sit on them. Some better landscaping of cutting the weeds and overgrowth around the property would help the charm of this place. Overall, this cottage was very well thought through and made for an enjoyable stay.
