This should be a 5 star review, but the owner was money hungry, with unrealistic expectations and aggressively texted me until my husband stepped in and forfeited our damage deposit so he would leave me alone. Before leaving, we carefully completed the checkout to do list- gather all trash, washed/dried/put away dishes, returned the boats/kayaks to their places, and gathered the used linens, placing what fit into the provided laundry bag (what wouldn’t fit, we placed beside the bag in the bathtub.) We attempted to sweep the floors, but there was no dustpan in the house or garage. We vacuumed as best we could (with a small stick vacuum) and left the cottage in what we felt was clean, lived-in condition after a family of five had stayed there for a week. It wasn’t “showroom ready,” but it was certainly not excessively dirty, and we understand that rentals receive a deep cleaning between guests. Around 5 pm, we arrived back home in Ohio. I began receiving text messages from the owner stating that the cottage was “extremely dirty.” He mentioned debris under the couch, grease splatter on cooking surface of the gas range, ashes on the lawn, divots in the yard. We have stayed many places over the years and have never had this response. What he called dirty, was our family splitting firewood for s’mores (small divots in the yard,) grilling out dinner at the charcoal grill (ashes), and cooking bacon for breakfast (grease). This is the exact reason we came- family time. Guest beware!
