Was a quaint cottage, the host responded to me in a timely manner. Very clean house. We had the best time staying here. Very close to downtown within walking distance. Went for the art festival. Girls weekend was a blast. Only downside was that Freebe Ride service app kept telling us we were out of their service area. Would recommend this cottage to anyone. The kitchen had everything we needed.

Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to share your feedback I'm glad that the cottage location and amenities were comfortable and met your needs The freebee ride service that you tried to use is available two blocks north if you walk towards the high school and meet them on seventh, I'm sorry that it was not more clear that it really was close and available for you

House was very clean and well appointed but the master bedroom was a bit small. Laundry was in the garage and not accessible from the house. Walking distance to downtown was very nice. Overall, we enjoyed our stay! Very good value.

Thank You for choosing to stay with us and sharing your feedback. As you could imagine when the cottage was built 100 years ago, there was neither running water or electricity. So to modernize the home, adding a bathroom to the master bedroom (an already tiny room) took more square footage from the room space. In addition, washer and dryer were not part of the original design. We decided to add these amenities for our guests and the garage was the only option.

Thank You for sharing your feedback. The seats that you mentioned were brand new and installed right before your arrival. Perhaps because they were new they were a little stiff and had not been used.
