Nice get away.
The stay was wonderful! Especially for a quick and last minute getaway. Some small things here and there could have been freshened up more. Regardless a wonderful stay nonetheless

Nice and Quite
Very good overall. Heat wave during our stay. 100 degrees no AC. We were given brand new fans (3) which helped. Windows tracks need attention with cleaning and lubrication to help cooling by opening windows.

Home is small, dark, and cluttered. Needs thorough cleaning. Keypad didn’t work and lockbox where emergency key is kept is old and difficult to open and close.

Cozy cabin with big bedrooms
Cozy for sure, but really just the right size for family of 4 that's mostly out & about Kitchen is outdated, could use a super scrub, but was clean enough & just the right size for quick meals & a full-on dinner. Bathrooms are "cozy" for sure, functional. Two upstairs bedrooms were very spacious given the size of the rest of the cottage. I gave the location 3-stars because between dogs barking late into the night, and the open exhaust trucks blasting down the road at 7am, you're reminded that it's a working neighborhood and not a resort. Fine with us, you get what you pay for - and this was a good deal and pleasant stay.
