The amenities associated with this property are completely misrepresented. There is no washer/dryer, no barstools at the bar (No place to eat in the cottage), no office & chair and no TV service. Located on a mile long gravel road that needs serious maintenance (Washboard effect). We rented for an extended stay for work and pleasure. Had the listing been accurately represented, we would not have chosen this property. The property owners and property management company should rectify this situation immediately. ##### Rusty H.
