Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Charlie D. 8 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Kowaliga retreat stay The property was beautiful and quiet. Cute house but it was advertised as 3,000 sq ft and was closer 18-1900 sq feet. SmallRooms. We had 8 people. The ad said “sleeps9”. We don’t discover the trundle bed untilThe 2nd day. It wasn’t listed in the ad. We still had to have one guest sleep on the sofa. The door code didn’t work at first, and there were no instructions about the proper order of entering #s and pushing which buttons first or last. We called the property manager who was very helpful and changed the code for us. Kitchen is tiny so we were all Bumping into each other. Maybe this house is better for 2-4 people. The toilet seat was broken- the property mgr bought another one at my husband’s request and my husband installed it. The a/c stopped working the day we got there and prop mgr got the a/c man to come the next morning who took care of it promptly. The thermostat was VERY VERY confusing - needed instructions to operate- even the repairman had a hard time trying to show me how to work it and kept having to start over to figure it out. The ceiling fan in one of the bedrooms made a loud noise when turned on, and the chain switch for changing the fan speed didn’t work. Screen door on porch sticks to floor when partially opened. It seems that this house wasn’t thoroughly inspected for all of these things before opening up to guests. It is very cute and quiet but this was just a LOT that was frustrating to have to pay what we did. ##### Charlie D.
