We rented for a month between Thanksgiving and Christmas while visiting family in the area. The cottage was wonderful, Fully equipped with everything we needed,.
When we arrived and walked in, Gwen had the cottage decorated for Christmas to include a tree. A wonderful touch.
We would certainly rent again.

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay. Come back anytime.
My husband and I booked a Saturday - Monday Labor Day getaway last minute in the Cottage behind the main house. Gwendolyn was very quick to reply to all of our back and forth and check-in was easy. I did note the place description that the train was close by, but I did not notice it in the photos, showing it was 20 feet from the bedroom wall, my fault I suppose. The property is tired, with crumbling patio stones, chipping paint on the buildings, and broken patio furniture. I did read somewhere that the Cottage was once a bar and it shows; the Budweiser refrigerator is hidden behind a curtain at the headboard of the bed, heavy duty slide locks are on the doors, and the drink rails are all around the first floor. Our biggest issue though was the cleanliness of the rental. It was definitely not up to par with dead bugs in many spots, dirty floor corners, dusty dining room chairs, and a sticky kitchen trash can. We were only staying two nights and didn't want to be interrupted so we did not reach out Gwendolyn, though she says she wishes we did so she could have sent the cleaners over to refresh what they cleaned a week prior. We've enjoyed many getaway rentals and I'm sorry to say this one did not meet our expectations, certainly not for the price we paid.

Thank you for your feedback and for recognizing our quick communication and easy check-in. I’m sorry the Cottage did not meet your expectations.
Because we are located directly along the river, bugs and spiders can unfortunately appear quickly, especially during the summer months. The Cottage had been professionally cleaned about a week before your arrival, but in hindsight, we should have scheduled a quick refresh immediately before check-in, and we will be doing that going forward.
I truly wish you had reached out when you arrived. I would have gladly had our cleaning team return to address anything you were unhappy with. The broken patio furniture you mentioned was an umbrella, which I also could have replaced right away had I known.
We do try to be very transparent about the nearby train and include aerial photos showing its proximity to the property, as we know that can be important when choosing a place to stay.
We appreciate your feedback and will use it to make improvements for future guests. I’m only sorry we weren’t given the opportunity during your stay to make things right.
The property was clean and mostly as described (there is only one queen, one double, and one twin trundle; the listing was a bit confusing). The kitchen is very spacious and large, and the dining table can fit a large family.Gwendolyn is very communicative and responsive. We couldn't find the lights in the kitchen, and she immediately helped us by text. When the power in the neighborhood went out due to a downed tree, she answered my questions right away, However, this property is perhaps a bit more bare bones than we hoped for. Getting comfy there isn't easy (there's only one oversized couch), and the train is right behind the house. We knew the train ran behind the home, but you should just know the tracks are feet from the back of the house. There are more trains throughout the night than I thought there'd be (about 4), and the whistle must sound before they ride through town.The beds are fine, the bathroom was clean, but the shower is small (and we needed to go get some additional soaps and shampoos, as they were travel-sized and limited for the small group staying there).Unfortunately, I can't give this home five stars, despite my preference for Gwendolyn, who is a good host.For a couple of nights, this place will work for you if you can handle the noise of whistles and trains.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for highlighting the cleanliness of the home, the spacious kitchen, and your experience with my communication — I truly appreciate it!
Regarding the trains: you're absolutely right, they are very close. We actually have photos in the listing showing just how near the tracks are, and we mention the train presence in multiple places throughout the description. That said, we know it can still be a surprise to hear them more frequently at night, and we understand this isn’t ideal for every traveler. We locals have a bit of a love/hate relationship with them ourselves!
I also appreciate your notes about the listing details and supplies — I’ll take another look to make sure the bed descriptions are crystal clear, and will explore ways to make things feel a bit more cozy and better stocked for short stays.
