Unfortunately, the cottage was not winterized nor did it have heat which was not listed in the description on the VRBO website. If this was shared, we would not have booked a stay here for 3 nights over memorial day weekend in RI near the water. It was 48 degrees outside with pouring rain and inside it was so cold we could see our breaths. We were up all night due to freezing temperatures and a neighbors fire alarm that went off for 3 hours straight. The next morning we contacted the host sharing our discomfort and did not hear from her for 4 hours. We packed up and left as we could not remain inside any longer with freezing temperatures.
The host was very difficult to get ahold of throughout our trip and was highly unprofessional. When we asked to be reimbursed for one of the three nights (we stayed less than 24 hours) due to lack of description that there wasn't heat/home was not winterized- she attacked us verbally saying she was not "mother nature" and that I was being "ridiculous". I would NOT recommend staying here based on the host's lack of responsiveness, unprofessional nature, and the inability to heat/cool the house.
