The Boat House Oct 2023
Overall, property interior was as described and nicely done with a few caveats. Finding the property was extremely difficult. The instructions should be more explicit with better photos to help renters visualize the unusual (steep and narrow) approach to the property.
Property exterior was very steep, uneven with few handrails. Arrival at dusk made unloading very hazardous. Sidewalks or paths with railing from parking area to door would be advisable.
The unit appeared clean but we rolled up the rugs to prevent damage by our pets and found them every dusty and dirty underneath. The rugs and floors under them need to be cleaned better.
It appeared that a lightbulb burned out in a bedside lamp. When we tried to replace it, a spark flashed and most of the lights went out. We were able to flip the circuit breaker to restore power.
The small heating unit over the front door was inadequate to heat the high ceiling room in 40 degree weather. We spent $50 at Walmart for a space heater to be comfortable.
One of the window blinds was broken when we arrived and held together with a binder clip. The blind could be open or closed only.
We received conflicting information on whether check out time was 8 or 9 am. We left at 8:10.
Even with these problems, the view and proximity to local restaurants, attractions and recreation mitigated some inconveniences. The worst part was being cold. A summer visit at least would not have that annoyance.
