While the cottage had some functional positives, several important issues significantly impacted my stay and should be disclosed more clearly in the listing—especially given the final price.
Access to the property was challenging and stressful. As I approached, the road conditions worsened considerably, eventually becoming a one-lane gravel road with a steep incline leading up to the cottage. This felt unsafe for my vehicle, and I was concerned about potential damage. This type of access should be clearly stated in the listing so guests can make an informed decision.
Upon arrival, I was met by a German Shepherd barking and roaming freely on the property. Traveling with my own dog, this made me feel unsafe and uncomfortable unloading my car or walking around. Because of this, I did not feel at ease approaching the owner or moving freely on the property at all.
The Wi-Fi did not work during my stay, which was another drawback. Inside, the space did not feel prepared for guests. The unit was still decorated for Christmas and filled with the homeowner’s personal collections, leaving very limited space for guest belongings. Even the bed was crowded with excessive decorative pillows that had to be moved with no clear place to store them. Overall, the space felt more like intruding into someone’s personal dollhouse than being welcomed into a rental.
On the positive side, the hot tub was operational (though the cover was difficult to remove on my own), and hot
