Cozy cottage in a great location
I had a great stay here. Everything in the listing and pictures was as described. The kitchen and bathrooms were stocked and I had a very comfortable stay. I had one maintenance issure that was taken care of the following morning. Would definitely recommend.

Clean, bright, good location, nice channel view. We don’t have smart TV apps so had no local TV, news & sports.

Thank you for your kind review. We've taken your feedback about the TV, and tried to make it more clear on the listing that it's a Smart TV with no local cable.
Generally good experience. The property was made to look bigger in the online listing than it actually is. Bathrooms were quite congested.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in
Great place. But took over an hour to get in.
No one reached out with check in details. I called three different places before we got the entry code. Other than that and once we were in it was great.
