May 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wanted to give 5 stars This is meant to be fair and constructive. First, I would not call this a cozy cabin. It is a wooded development of dozens of identical 4-unit townhouses. Some are rentals, some are private residences. This "cottage" is one of four 2-story units in one of those buildings. It is a nice area.The place was clean and nicely decorated like a rustic cabin. Kitchen is modern and well-equipped. Furniture is nice. The two bathrooms are modern and clean. There three decent TVs throughout, but the batteries in two of the remotes were dead. It took a while to figure out this is why we couldn't operate them!The listing says it sleeps 9. I wouldn’t want to be there with 9 lol. There is a nice king bed in one bedroom that has the hot tub. Another bedroom has two queens. Add a sofa... well, you see the practical limitations.Now about that hot tub. It's modern, works well, and perfect for a loving couple. EXCEPT the water heater downstairs can't supply enough hot water to fill it! We couldn't fill it properly with warm water before the hot water gave out. I had to boil water on the stove downstairs. Six trips with the two biggest pots, and we were finally ready to turn on the bubbles.There are two gas fireplaces. The one upstairs wouldn’t come on. The one downstairs lit (just a wall switch), the glass cover was almost completely black with soot, so we could hardly see the flames.Didn’t contact the owner. I'm sure she's very nice and will address the issues. Give her a try. ##### Ernst S.
