Sep 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This place was perfect for my dog and I. It had all the amenities needed for a little getaway. Neighborhood was clean with lots of cool restaurants and shops. Cottage was a standalone unit with a lovely back patio which I pretty much had all to myself. Spoke with the owner and he's upgrading the TV to something bigger. I also experienced an issue with the dryer not working and was assured it would be fixed. The couch was a little uncomfy and not good for lying down. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Justin C. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cathy J. Aug 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming Cottage Really nice in-law cottage with a lovely patio and garden. Close to freeway and Grand Lake Theatre, plenty of food options and a supermarket nearby. TV was a problem but Wi-Fi worked and we used our own tablets most of the time. Washer & dryer needs some knobs replaced but host was responsive & friendly about helping us find a workaround. Washed clothes just fine. Vehicle parking on street or at public lot nearby. Very nice place and I’d stay again! ##### Cathy J.
