Disliked: Cleanliness
We arrived at the cottage, and it was located at the end of the owner's driveway which is extremely steep. Upon entering the carpets were less than clean. It was challenging to open the sliding panel for access to the toilet and the light switch for the toilet was located across the area above the futon which would cause a disruption to who ever tried to sleep on the futon as the toilet light also turned on the light directly above the futon. We looked at the futon, and the cover had several questionable spots on it that made us uncomfortable to sit on it. The cottage was also slopping and some of our things rolled off the table as well as making us motion sick. We let the owners know via text that we would not be staying due to the cleanliness and slopping of the property. They never responded, so we ended up having to find other accommodations about 20 miles away. Would not recommend.

Suggestions

While the location was nice and convenient, we suggest that the owners of the property state in their description what their guests need to provide for themselves, such as bedding and cooking supplies.

Amazing place!

This was a super clean and nice cottage to stay in. John the host helped me with anything I needed. They also let me have my privacy. This a great for if you work for Amish and working out of town. I plan on getting this cottage again for my boyfriend and I sue to bring avid fisherman. The area was quiet and beautiful! A+++++++
