The glass wasn’t broken, but the plastic lock mechanism and the up/down mechanism of the window were both broken. The window didn’t lock and when I raised the bottom window to open it, the window wouldn’t stay up. It just fell inward into the room. The property manager called someone to fix it, but he forgot to come. I think they were going to fix it after we left. I hope they did! ##### Sharon B.

So our stay started out with us exhausted from traveling from Michigan and checking in to a dirty unit. I had to clean all the counters, fridge. They sent someone to clean later that night but it wasn’t done thoroughly…for example the basement was not vacuumed and had bugs in the carpet, the shower downstairs was not the cleanest and curtain had pink mildew dampness all over it. The place itself is cute and had all the basics necessities. But it’s really the upper level that is more clean and useable. We enjoyed all the light as it sits in the woods so lots of windows was nice. it had a nice big washer and dryer I. The unit which was great. The area is beautiful. I would note a few things however. The listing says 2 queens but one is actually a full bed that is very hard. The queen bed was better but too soft/sinks a little. I rotated the Mattress and that helped a ton. I did wash the comforters and blankets as they weren’t cleaned from the previous renters, but that is the fault of the property management and cleaning service ( that also never cleaned before we checked in).The towels were very worn and Thinner with scratchy pilling on majority of them. The little ens smelled musty from sitting in the cedar closet over time, not fresh and clean smelling. I inquired twice to ensure the sofa bed in the basement was semi-comfortable as we were needing to it, it was horrible to sleep on. ##### Jessi T.

Well equipped cottage. Lots of little extras. Close proximity to Boothbay Harbor, Coastal Botanical Gardens, Brewery’s and lots of other interesting places along the ME coast. Highly recommend staying here if you’re in the East Boothbay area. ##### Carol C.

Loved the general store near by! Walked the loop over the dam, walked the rocks at the nearby beach. Close to Boothbay and many other beautiful places. Con: Late check in time of 4pm. ##### Amy L.
