This cottage is described as “rustic” and “basic”. I would describe it as neglected and run down. The RnR Retreat hasn’t seen $1 of TLC many, many years.
All of the plumbing leaks and is rusted or corroded. Both the kitchen and the bathroom have a damp musty smell, particularly the cupboards. Wearing flip flops in the shower is highly recommended.
All of the floors are insanely uneven and dangerously bouncy, especially in the kitchen.
Most of the light fixtures are either broken, missing a lamp shade or a light bulb.
There’s shoddy exposed wiring in the kitchen and bathroom.
The screen door latch is broken; looks like it has been for quite a while, which means getting trapped inside.
There is NO privacy, which is not clear from any of the photos. The view from the deck is a parking lot. To one side, also not evident from the photos, is a very eclectic house with lots of activity, cars and loud music. And it’s 20 feet away. On the other side, the view is the steps and pathways to the other cottages, so lots of foot traffic.
The living room furniture is filthy. There were adult foot prints on the couch.
I’ve never provided a review such as this before. But 4 days after my return, I’m still bothered and disappointed and felt the need to share my views with others so that they don’t waste their vacation time and money on an overpriced dilapidated shack that didn’t even have a roll of toilet paper in the washroom when we arrived.
