The cottage was satisfactory for a short stay with my pup. The back yard was small and the gate did not function well. Note a nice view of airplanes landing at the nearby airport. The planes could not be heard from inside the cottage.I found the carport too small for loading and access to a full size truck so I just parked outside it. The ground and entry walk are uneven and could be a tripping hazard for less agile people. The uneven pavers and driveway gravels plus a general unkept landscape gave the appearance of unprofessional construction. The interior had some new finishing including the hardwood flooring and the bathroom was nice. Overall the house could use some additional lighting in the bedroom closet area. Some exterior lights (decorative) did not function and light switches were wired upside down. Some wiring running to the outside shed appeared hazardous. The kitchen was dated and cabinet doors did not close well. Although there were plenty of dishes to use there was no dishwasher. One frying pan had been put away dirty so the cleaning crew should watch for this. There was also too much clutter in the cabinets with many unnecessary items left in the storage areas. Also the TV remotes may need to be replaced as they did not function well and the streaming was slow.Overall I would rate equivalent to a two-star hotel.

Our stay was good. Kitchen cabinets need to be replaced along with the front door. Lacking some cabinet knobs and front door total mess. Front porch and ramp need much work. Bed very comfortable. Guess all is good but just needs much updating.

This house needs a lot of work! The bed and shower were great! The washer and dryer were also good. Ice maker worked well. The couch and TV were all good! The video game were a nice touch.The smoke detectors in the bedroom were missing. The steps out front are an accident waiting to happen. They’re loose! House needed a real general cleaning. The front door and sliding glass door on the carport side are very old and needing repair or replacement.

Great place, bigger than expected

Had a great stay here, two adults and two kids. They still have the pull out couch and the Murphy bed plus king bed in the bedroom so each kid had a bed. Great kitchen (although we were only here one full day and didn’t end up cooking) including a nice spice rack. 9 year old played with the ax throwing game. We walked to the park where there is a skate park, dog park, splash pad, and amazing giant playground. HVAC works great, we were here in February so needed heat. Will be back!

Pet Friendly

The place is a step back in time, with new flooring, We arrived after dark in a rainstorm and were glad to have shelter. We are not pet people, but I did not expect that much dog hair all over the house. We problem solved and used the pet friendly washer to get the dog hair out of our clothing, and the Robot floor cleaner to sweep the floors. The owners have been notified. I would have loved to give the place a perfect score. The owners were easy to contact and responded quickly to questions. It is more spacious than the pictures depict with good Wi-Fi. The neighborhood is quiet and easily accessible. Very Light traffic area. I would recommend the place to pet lovers.
