Cozy but not clean.

This place makes us feel cozy. However, the cleanliness is not up to par. There are lot of dead bugs in some corners of the room and around the windows. Also found some calcium around the kitchen faucet. Look like the cleaning service didn't do a good job. Why should I pay for cleaning service?

Quirky cottage

The owners were professional innkeepers and it shows in the decor and amenities. Loved the location and the peace of the river. Very quiet neighborhood. The cottage is getting a little run-down and needs a little TLC. Would have been nice to know about the well water. Would stay here again.

Remember it is a cottage

Darling cozy cottage. Bed super comfortable. Quiet except occasional neighbor dog who greeted us when we arrived in the dark when we didn’t expect it! Shower valve could use improvement. Back patio nice to just sit out on. Open floor plan which was nice.
