The checkout instructions said to strip the beds and put all towels and linens in a pile to be washed. However, when we got to the cottage there was a note on the refrigerator that said we had to wash, dry and fold all linens and towels or we would be assessed a 50 post stay fee. That is a lot to do the morning of check out. The remotes for the air conditioners needed new batteries. Other than that, the cottage was cute, clean, and close to our friends at Coldwater Lake and the host was very nice, accommodating, and responsive.
