Private cottage situated on 6.5 acres, beautiful sunrises, pond, fishing & more.

We loved having you here! Thanks for being such wonderful guest! Come back anytime!

Thank you Bonita for taking the time to submit a review. We appreciate wonderful guest and hope that we do everything we can to insure a great stay! I would like to address the notes you mentioned for clarification for our future guest. “the owners are right next door” - our description does indicate we are 80 ft from the cottage, we respect our guests space but we are available should our guest need anything or would like to share a glass of wine or glass of iced tea with us on our front porch. “the pond is actually in their front yard” yes, it is not directly in front of the cottage but, just a few steps away from the cottage front porch. Our guest have access for all of the catch and release fishing they desire. “If you have mobility challenges, there are a lot of levels/surfaces to get into the house.” We take pride in providing handicap accommodations and accessibility. We have provided widen doorways, a tall toilet as well as other considerations. If needed, guest can park on the driveway with easy access, please note accessibility in our posted pictures. “The single parking spot is very tight to enter/exit.” Yes, large vehicles and dual wheel trucks will have difficulty. We do provide additional parking for our guest. “The house was very cold due to the only heat/cooling source being high up the wall.” We do apologize that you were not comfortable, our split unit does a great job in heating and cooling the square footage in the cottage. We do have concrete floors and that can make for cold feet. We now provide house-shoes for our guest. The weekend you stayed the outside temps were in the 30’s, I would have been more than glad to have delivered you an additional space heater had I known. Extra blankets are always available in the closet and on the trundle. “There isn't a comfortable place to sit, except on the bed, unless you like dining chairs for seating.” There is a very comfortable chair next to the bed and a fabric, padded rocker in the sitting area. “There isn't really a couch.” We do not have a couch, we have a love seat due to the size of the sitting area as indicated in our photos. We enjoy providing a space for our guest to enjoy and would like to think we go above and beyond and wish we could provide a 5 star stay for all of guest. We have added additional photos to provide specific details for our guest before booking. Thank you again for your comments and we hope to only improve for our future guest.

Christian, I am sorry that this is your review. It is not our intent to provide sub-standard service, and we hate that you really did not enjoy your stay. You didn't let us know anything during your stay so that we could do our best to rectify any issues at that time. We enjoy hosting and try our very best to provide a great and enjoyable stay for our guest. In regards to the a/c the unit was checked, regular maintenance, two weeks ago, filter cleaned, and the unit was clean. Due to extreme humidity and high heat a unit will freeze up if the unit is set below 68 as the check in info stated. I really feel that this review was because I requested a cleaning fee, which I do not charge at booking nor have I ever had to charge anyone - this was our first. The extra cleaning fee was requested due to: food left behind on the tables, counters and floor, and now what we suspicion fish and the fish liquid spilt all over the floor and kitchen sink and counter, and large amounts of pet dander (we do not allow pets) that took a 5 days of extra cleaning and airing out. Your review and comments are your decision, and please know we can always improve. A/C repair guy came out, unit was clean, no mold, drain pan and drain were clean and not clogged and the technician said that they unit had to have frozen up due to the thermostat being set well below 68. I will note that your review of body odor and mold are inaccurate, the bed is a king and the third bed is a trundle twin bed which was slept in with someone leaving behind their socks, so I am not clear as to how the third bed was not located. **Future Guest - if you have read this review and have questions about staying with us I would encourage you to read the many 5 star reviews we have received from our wonderful guest. We were warned that we might have guest and have to deal with issues like this - this is our first in 9 years. VRBO is aware and after we have paid the a/c bill, the cleaning bill, and canceled our next booking due to the lingering and offensive odors we have been told by VRBO that we will not be receiving the cleaning fee and they will not be removing the review. Premier Host means nothing.

Thank you Drake for your feedback. We enjoyed hosting you and we are glad you chose to stay. I have taken your suggestion and have reworded the description so that our guest know better what to expect when making their reservation. We enjoy sharing our space with our guest and always hope they love our little place as much as we do.
