Justin and Kim were gracious hosts and Rose Cottage is beautiful and comfortable. I'm not sure I can express how much we loved staying there. This place had everything we needed to live comfortably. Kim replenished supplies as needed. Washer, dryer, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, spices, some dry goods, dishware galore, Keirig machine, electric kettle, big mugs, bath soap, make up remover, Q tips, hair dryer, first aid kit, bubble bath, even cozy blankets to curl up with. They thought of everything. The beds are very comfortable and have luxurious, high end linens that feel like you're sleeping on a cloud. In fact, we were impressed with the high quality of everything, including the bath towels. We will always have fond memories of Rose Cottage and hope to stay again soon. Enjoy your stay...we sure did! ##### Wendy C. Stayed 30 nights in Jan 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Mike S. Nov 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Property and Location are Wonderful The previous reviews accurately detail the pleasant accommodations. We loved the city and surrounding area. Walked from the cottage to downtown several times. However there were negative aspects of our visit. The first one was the lack of information provided for us to access the cottage. I had received an email from VRBO a few days before our visit. The subject was "Here are the keys to your trip!" So we assumed the entry instructions were included. When we arrived at the property after a two hour traffic slog from LAX I opened the email. The email advised that "The host hasn't provided arrival information yet. For the most up-to-date info, contact the property manager directly." So I figured no problem I would just access the property manager information through the VRBO app. Apparently there are long standing problems with the VRBO app and IOS devices. We repeatedly attempted to access the app while using cell service while standing in the property driveway. We failed. After 15 minutes of trying we left and called the VRBO customer service number. They eventually put us in touch with the property manager. We also determined we could use the app with Wi-Fi we later accessed in town. Another first was the required $1750 security deposit. The VRBO site indicates $250? I asked the property manager why ours was so high. I did not receive an answer. ##### Mike S. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan R.
