Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy

Do NOT recommend

Cabin had not been cleaned, smelled dank, AC didn't work, had dead bugs everywhere, cobwebs everywhere, and I got stung by a hornet nest located on the frontdoor light. Host did minimally attempt to remedy situation but honestly this place should not be listed.

Could be a great place to stay but...

The problem appears to be that the owner is not keeping up with care and maintenance. From what I can see on the calendar it appears this cottage is seldom rented. Therefore between renters it has time to become musty, dusty and not adequately maintained.When we arrived it looked like it had not been cleaned adequately since last occupied. Kitchen counters were dirty and needed to be cleaned as did some of the kitchenware and utensils. There was only ONE bath towel and one hand towel in the bathroom, and no others were in any storage cabinets or closets. In the corners near the front door and kitchen sink there were piles of what appeared to be insect remains. The tile floors needed sweeping. The bathroom sink needed cleaning. The freezer had spilled food that we needed to clean up. There we no potholders in the kitchen. The disposal under the sink was leaking (not badly but enough to make the bottom of the cabinet wet). The smoke detector was beeping when we arrived. There were a number of piles of dog excrement near the front door and driveway which we cleaned up.While we were here it got quite warm but when we turned on the air conditioner it did not work. This was already noted by previous renter. It would have been very nice to have the AC and it was listed as one of the amenities.The good news is that when we contacted Amanda she came right over with her daughter and they helped us get everything straightened out.
