Cottage very nice. Host replied immediately to all questions & concerns. I rented for 3 weeks. Location could not hsve been more ideal. Guest is not allowed to control house temperature & blower noisy enough to wake me in the night. Solution was to turn off heat & a/c entirely. No real orientation given but neighbors very friendly & helpful. Cottage was clean (some trash in each receptacle, cig butts & bottle caps in surround, all of which I cleaned up) but full. Only one closet which was full, all cabinets full. No way to use stove without setting off smoke alarm except to open sliders & run 2 big fans. Host was very flexible about extending my stay when I had a medical emergency but charged quite alot for extra 2 nights. All in all a very positive experience.
