This was a great property for a quick get away. We enjoyed the spacious, well-appointed room. The host was extremely helpful, attentive and great with communication. We will be back!
8 / 10Excellent·May 2026
The trip was interesting. The check in process would have gone smoother if we had the combination to the lock box. A nice touch would have been if the host had meet us at the property, welcomed us to the property and it would have saved some frustration trying to get into the room. Communication would have gone smoother if we had a telephone number. Texting and emails are rather impersonal. I would have been nice if the codes for the lock box and for the bicycles had been posted inside the closet, it would have made check out so much easierHaving some conventional pillows would have nice.

Excellent location on a quiet street. Everything you could need for a short weekend stay.
6 / 10Average·Mar 2026
The description didn’t match the accommodation. While it seemed like it was a cottage, it was a room off the house. The bad part is the door to the main house couldn’t be closed and locked so that made us feel uncomfortable.The smell was beyond an old house smell. I’m guessing the carpet. Oh and the sulfurous smell of the water at first was horrible. I would suggest running a lot of water before your guest arrive. In terms of working order, you should take time to make sure things work. The sink trap was broken. I had to rig it with a wash cloth to let it drain. When I touched the tp holder it fell apart. Those are easy things that could be checked and made sure in working order.The fact that we were told to keep the AC on a certain degree is fine until we determined the readout didn’t work. And what was supposed to be a relaxing evening was anything but when we were up and down all night trying to get the thing to work. Your location is great. The concept of an old cottage is great…until you find out it’s not a cottage. My suggestion is to just be honest but also ensure that room can also be secured. I may have overlooked it all until the AC didn’t work. I’d say make that your number one priority, especially with summer coming.
