Disliked: Cleanliness
We arrived and there was a big pile of linens and towels in the bedroom doorway. It took a long time to contact the owner and he didn’t seem to know we were even there.The owner arrived at least 45 minutes after our conversation with linens and towels. He didn’t offer to put the sheets on but we insisted. We didn’t pay 1000 to set up the place ourselves knowing it really wasn’t cleaned between customers. The washer and dryer was out of order and the couch was very uncomfortable and sank to spring or frame when we sat on it. It truly needs to be replaced. We bought a couple large floor cushions to help make the couch more usable without hitting the frame. Owner was going to check in the first full day, but did not.If we could have had a chance for refund for the lack of preparedness, I would have. Instead we decided to find a way to tolerate the cottage. There is a ‘ramp’ to the front door, however it was too steep if a lodger was using a wheelchair and the washer/dryer would not have been accessible, despite the sign on the gate saying it was accessible. The patio was lovely, however I won’t recommend this cottage to friends or family.Faye Militante

This place was perfect for my dog and I. It had all the amenities needed for a little getaway. Neighborhood was clean with lots of cool restaurants and shops. Cottage was a standalone unit with a lovely back patio which I pretty much had all to myself. Spoke with the owner and he's upgrading the TV to something bigger. I also experienced an issue with the dryer not working and was assured it would be fixed. The couch was a little uncomfy and not good for lying down. Would definitely stay here again.

Charming Cottage

Really nice in-law cottage with a lovely patio and garden. Close to freeway and Grand Lake Theatre, plenty of food options and a supermarket nearby. TV was a problem but Wi-Fi worked and we used our own tablets most of the time. Washer & dryer needs some knobs replaced but host was responsive & friendly about helping us find a workaround. Washed clothes just fine. Vehicle parking on street or at public lot nearby. Very nice place and I’d stay again!
