The home's exterior was weather beaten, paint peeling everywhere, a rougher cut than expected from online images. A warning from owner would have prepared us (winter weather damage? repainting soon?) but curb appeal was downright scary. It didn’t help that our communication w/owner was somewhat halting. Ex: after carefully reading entry instructions, we downloaded a 150 Mb app called August providing us w/ house access via an electronically-activated lock. After 15 minutes waiting in the driveway for app to load, & spending another 10 minutes registering, we discovered an email from host indicating that door was unlocked w/keys on the table. Owner annoyed we missed an update while traveling w/spotty internet. Home spacious, bedrooms w/AC & clean, exception was bathroom where black hair from previous guest was left sticking to the plastic insert shower. This is a very basic VRBO, big kitchen & living room, plenty of coffee makers, large & uncomfortable couch where guests either sink low or hit the wooden frame when leaning back. Most VRBO owners welcome you w/a note or some indication that they're in the hospitality business. In contrast, we were greeted w/handwritten warning signs (w/lots of !!!) w/out simple directions on how using an unfamiliar stove. House furnished w/scattered & drab remains of other homes. We have stayed at VRBOs for years & this isn't the quality we have come to expect. Perhaps good for families who need space w/large TV while visiting Waterville.

The cozy house was just that! It was very clean, cute and had everything you need for your stay. Very quiet and convenient location. It was perfect!

We had a wonderful stay at Cozy House. It was comfortable, roomy, well-appointed and all around perfect. Our host was fabulous - we will certainly stay at Cozy House again if our travels bring us this way!

Could have a few more instructions on using the TV. Also people might find it helpful to know the host/hostess goes to bed early but is up by 3;00am. We felt bad texting her in the evening and waking her up. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much.

Lovely little home, accessible to restaurants, shops and highway. Everything we needed was available. My family and I would definitely be back, if the occasion presented itself.

Really enjoyed our stay. House was clean and bed was very comfortable. Also loved that it was located so close to shopping. Would stay again. Thank you so much!

The house and its location is lovely. I reduced the length of my stay before the required deadline, and I did after a lot of calls and messages eventually get a refund from the host for the nightly charges and from VRBO for the taxes. However, the host, Andrea, charged me a $225 guest fee for a total of 4 people staying 4 nights despite the listing stating the house sleeps 4 and the guest fee is $10. I explained the overcharge but she still refused to give me a $145 refund on the guest fee. Advice for potential renters of this house: Check your invoice closely before you commit, and if you need to change your length of stay, cancel the reservation and start a new one.

We were very pleased with this property! It was clean and so cozy. The mattress on the bed was comfortable and every detail was thought of to make our stay more enjoyable.
