Old fashion charm
Lovely Victorian Cottage — needs some serious updates. Listing is not accurate: no washer/dryer, no hot tub, unsafe/broken stove/oven, refrigerator malfunctioning (froze all our fruit, vegetables - hundreds of dollars worth of food), and has very little hot water (not enough for one shower/bath). Pond in backyard is little more than a dirty mosquito laden puddle. Games are missing pieces. There is not one comfortable place to sit inside or out. Spiders in every corner and even in the coffee cups/dishes. Hosts seem like nice enough people. Provided warm handoff, but we waited on the porch getting mosquito bites after a 12+ hour drive until they arrived to allow us entry and show us around. No real solutions to issues discussed—other than bring food to a different location to bake and try using different bathrooms for hot water, and to state most people don’t cook while on vacation. No check out instructions/ contact. No broom to sweep spills. If you’re looking for an authentic early 20th century stay, this is definitely the place for you!
