There were many things we appreciated about this little cottage! The photos of the decor first attracted us to it. It was fun and creative just like the photos. It was very, VERY clean. The kitchen was well stocked with a lot of little extra touches and ways to make coffee or tea. The furniture was well maintained and comfortable and the king bed was comfortable. The bathroom towels were fluffy and white. Nightlights inside and solar lights outside were very helpful in navigating the dark. Communication with our host, Ashlea, was great - she responded quickly! And graciously let us check in an hour early as well. There was a nice neighborhood across the street with sidewalks where we walked our dog. A few things that could be improved. We couldn't use the back door near where the car was parked because the hardware was broken. So, we needed to bring everything around the house to the front door. That wasn't a big deal but there were grass clippings on the sidewalk and driveway and we had to be careful so we didn't track that into the house or our car. Written instructions on how to adjust the thermostat and keep it from reverting back to a set temperature would have been helpful as well as a note on the nuance of pushing the start button twice on the washing machine. Initially, the house smelled fine but after the first night, there was a mildew/musty smell especially in the bathroom. We had to be careful navigating divots on the narrow gravel alleyway to the driveway.
