We arrived to find a cute cottage on a beautiful lake. Coming into the front door the cottage was in the middle of renovations, painting, etc which I didn't know before arrival. The renovAtions were nice even though they weren't complete or very professional and liked that there were two full bathrooms. The problem was that the whole cottage was dirty. The beds were not made, linen not changed,
the kitchen was a mess and the refrigerator was filled with expired items. There was dirty soap in the bottom of the bathtub, someone's toothbrush and clothes, and a lot of bugs( from living on the lake in sure), toilet was used and not flushed, it definitely was not cleaned before hand. The whole place had to be cleaned before bringing in our items or using the refrigerator. I contacted the owner right away who told us that there has been a contractor there and he must of left this mess. She offered to send a cleaner but refused as we already cleaned it ourselves. A refund was requested just for the cleaning fee and it was denied by the owner which was a large disappointment since we had to clean the cottage ourselves before using it. We also could not change the station to the tv without going into the bedroom where the cable box was located! The neighbors, sunsets and rises were nice, the cleanliness Was not. Too bad!
