Finding the property at night was difficult as the driveway is not on the street address and no lights were on. No hair dryer despite saying there were 2\. Weather was very warm and the cottage got very hot during the day- storm door would expand and not open either way. Many windows without screens and some screens had holes. It seemed like this was a summer family cottage as much personal stuff was around with very little room for our belongings in bedroom. No hangers in closet. We did have deer visit the front yard in the am and at noc. ##### Kathy K.
