First things first: Every interaction with our host, Emily, was fantastic. She was extremely responsive to messages, and flexible with accommodating some scheduling requests. (Thank you also for the offer of those garden tomatoes!)
The cottage itself is adorable, yet also modern. It’s cozy, but has plenty of space. Loved the kitchen, especially. We also appreciated having access to washcloths, hand towels and dish towels in addition to bath towels. Same with hand soap and cleaning supplies. This was definitely one of the better-stocked rentals we’ve seen. All in all it was an absolutely delightful stay.
I have just a few things I’d suggest to make this space perfect: 1) While everything that matters was clean, the house was also quite dusty, so maybe something to address in the off-season? ;-) 2) The kitchen was well-stocked with everything you could need, but all of the pots and pans — all with non-stick coating — were badly scraped up and (in my opinion) not really safe to use. 3) This might just be my hang-up with sliding-glass doors, but we were surprised there wasn’t a safety bar to put in the track. Better peace of mind, you know?
Please please take these as well-intentioned suggestions, and nothing more. We loved our time here and would stay again in a heartbeat!
