We stayed at this pet-friendly property May 8-12 while visiting Western Maryland. The house is a couple of miles off of I-68 in a quiet rural area near Cumberland. The house was small but comfortable. The house sits very close to a road and you have to walk on the road to get to the front door since there is no sidewalk from the parking area. Cars on the road drive 30 mph so you have to be very careful when walking on it to get to the front door of the house. When we arrived the owner was having some repair work done on a retaining wall on the side of the house. There was a lot of construction equipment and a large pile of gravel in the parking area. We had to park in between it all. The area where we had to walk was also quite messy and dirty. The owner/host had it cleaned up after we called her and she said no more work would occur until we left. However a couple of days later the contractor came back and continued doing their work with concrete block, backhoe, and gravel, which was right next to where we had to park our car. I asked him to wait until we left and he agreed. He apologized and said he wasn't aware anyone was staying in the house. When we checked out we vacuumed all of the carpets, placed the linens and towels in the hampers, cleaned the dishes, took out the trash per the check-out instructions, and left the house very clean. Overall we enjoyed our visit to Maryland, and our stay at the Cozy Cottage was satisfactory.
