Summary: The bed room pillows are gross and need to be changed out. They are stained, yuk! The cottage had not been dusted. The shower needs another way to lower the sprayer. It was barely accessible to me and I am 5 ft tall. We realize you are going for a “vintage vibe” but honestly we did not feel safe with the very old if not original electrical outlets. They had no gfci outlets. The bathroom only had 1 outlet connected to the light which was also probably original to the cottage. The dryer had old dryer sheets inside and misc. paper from who knows what? The dryer also makes a large banging noise. The kitchen sink is so stained I wonder if anything can get clean in there. We did not use the covers as they were very old and dingy looking. The dock was nice but definitely needs some love. Sorry, we feel it’s best to be honest. The location is amazing, however the property, even the big house looks run down and in disrepair. Landscaping is non existent.
