Nice place but lots of steps
I stayed at the Blue Cottage with my parents to attend a graduation party for my niece. It was clean and had plenty of space for the three of us and more if needed.
The location is a little out of the way of everything but it’s not easy finding something close to where we were heading.
The listing needs a little work. There are many steps into the property and then it is a split level, up or down when you go in. Most would not find this an issue but my parents are older, one has a bad knee and the other a bad back. There is not a single picture or description that there are so many steps involved. If I wasn’t with my parents I don’t know that I would have even thought of this but for those that would be challenged by that many stairs, this should be known.
We also had my parents’ dog with us. After reserving, I received a message from the host that I had to pay $65 separately for having an animal. The morning of our stay I received a message with the house code that also stated that the dog was not to be left in the house by itself. If these are the rules of the property for animals, they need to be specified in the listing, not typed in a message the morning of the stay. It would have been impossible to find another place to stay or receive our money back for our stay at that point.
So we had a nice stay but the listing needs to be more accurate with the intentions with pets and definitely needs to show renters the amount of stairs whether in pictures or description.
