I have hesitated to write this. First and foremost, the communication with the host was excellent, and when we contacted her after arriving she was quick to respond, immediately took action to address a problem, and quickly followed up. The issue was that the house had not been cleaned properly before we arrived, but once we let the host know, she had a cleaner onsite within hours to rectify that.However, despite her quick response to the obvious cleanliness issues, the cottage overall is run-down and just generally unclean. The wall-to-wall carpet is grungy, there are thick cobwebs in all the window frames (couldn't even open the windows it was so bad), the wooden supports on the deck are so rotted you can't put weight on them, the outdoor furniture is all chewed up by animals, the pots and pans are permanently stained and damaged, the cutting board was moldy, the towel bar in the guest bath had been torn off, etc. The place needs a lot of attention and a super deep cleaning. (I do have photos.)On the plus side, there were no bugs. Had there been bugs we wouldn't have put up with the rest. We were there for work, not vacation, so we just dealt with the condition issues and kept our socks or shoes on indoors. It is a manageable stay if you're not bothered by the poor condition. It is also very affordable for the area. However, you get what you pay for. My apologies to the kind host for this bad review, but people need to know what they're getting into.
