I sent a very detailed email to the property manager who began engaging in a conversation with me that very day, but has yet to follow up from a month ago! I tried to give this feedback privately, but since he has chosen to drop communication, here is a portion of my feedback. This is a lovely property. The "bones" of it are good, but if you want to be really comfortable & functional, you'd best bring a lot of kitchen items, bath items, cleaning items, etc. This lovely cottage/cabin feels like it has been filled with "minimum do." VERY sparse kitchen and bathroom items. A cheap (Dollar Tree?) broom. NO MOP IN A "PET FRIENDLY" LISTING!!! The worst of it all is a TRUE safety hazard. I will amend my review if I overlooked information in the listing or check in procedures regarding this, but I do not recall seeing anything about there being a TREACHEROUS, non-lighted set of outdoor stairs to access the property!! If someone has a handicap, they will not even be able to access the property. Going down those stairs at night is quite scary bc they are unlighted,uneven and leaf covered. This is a true hazard and may even be an ADA violation as it is not mentioned anywhere in the listing or rental agreement. Additionally, the ONLY outdoor lighting is the light on the deck beside the entrance. This is a cute cottage with lake views, but it REALLY needs to have a lot of "stuff" updated inside, and the owners need to make people aware of those stairs!
