    There were quite a few things that needed improvement at the cottage. For example, it smelled musty and hadn't been cleaned properly.

    It's a nice spot, but it needs some maintenance.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The cottage was simple. Reasonably clean and comfortable beds. And nice air conditioning. The dishwasher was broken, and we reported it. It should have been fixed for the next guests. Outside, the garden could use some maintenance (pruning)—there were a lot of prickly, overhanging bushes. The outdoor seating area was very old, dirty, and almost impossible to sit on. It needs to be replaced. It was also very dark around the cottage; one outdoor light was broken. Other than that, we had good communication with the owner and still had a really nice weekend. Beautiful surroundings. Maybe a little too quiet for us—it’s right in the middle of the woods.

    A great little cottage at a good price.
    They really need to get a new set of patio furniture, though, because the one that’s there now is dirty and rickety.
    So we weren’t able to sit comfortably at the table outside, which is a shame.
    Screen doors on the windows would also be really nice.
    There were a lot of mosquitoes—which is to be expected when you’re in the woods.
    We got bitten a lot.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    It was a lovely little cottage, fully equipped with all the amenities.
    A lovely, large garden—it was wonderful sitting under the trees.
    The air conditioning was especially great because the last few days were very hot.
    The Wi-Fi and TV worked perfectly.
    The bathtub and shower were great.
    All in all, we had a wonderful week here.
    Who knows, maybe we’ll come back someday.
