When we entered the cottage we were almost knocked over by the overwhelming smell of pine scented lysol. This was used to try and mask the mold and mildew which was so bad that two of our family members could only stay one night do to allergic reactions. Also, the shower curtain liner was long overdue for a change and the entire bathroom could of used a good scrub down. Spiders, mold and dust. Beware! ##### Robert B.

This was our first stop on a 6 week journey around the NE and it was perfect. Jessica was super, great communication, the place was clean, well stocked and had lots of thoughtful items. Lots of chairs to take in the view. Sits right on the Niantic River where we kayaked everyday. The Niantic Brewery quickly became our go-to place after picking up some to-go food from several nice restaurants. Took a trip up to check out Mystic Pizza and was surprised at how good the food was (went back a second time). ##### Greg B. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Jonathan G.

The only 2 issues we had were the ceiling fans were very dusty,we cleaned them and rhe musty smell of the interior that triggered an algeric reaction to several family members. A dehumidifier would do the property well. Other than that very nice stay and location was great. ##### Jonathan G. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah H., Plymouth, Wisconsin Oct 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy, clean, comfortable cottage Our small family group was seeking a quiet, conveniently located rental with a seaside vibe and an appealing living room/kitchen spacious enough to have a few nearby relatives spend time with us there, and this property was perfect. The parking was tight beyond the two spaces allotted, but the owner was flexible and helped us make it work. The grounds are beautiful, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well-equipped and the upstairs suite is luxurious (although renters should be aware that the carpeted stairs leading up to it are steep). Even though this is an older property and we arrived during a stretch of rainy weather, the home smelled good and we detected no trace of mustiness. We would be happy to rent this cottage again! ##### Sarah H. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kevin G. Jul 21, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### A Mixed bag Pros + nice shady yard with picnic table and chairs + Niantic river access + nice breezes off the river + nice dark walk-in closet; perfect for an infant to sleep + great location, right off I-95 and near shops + hosts were communicative Cons - mice poop on the kitchen counters each morning (!!) - low quality master bed; it disconnected from the headboard and overall wasn’t very comfortable. Creaky - bathroom on different (lower) level than master bed (upper) - hardly any kitchen counter space - stove is tilted to one side - dark inside the house - bathroom has a broken floorboard - lots of bugs made their way inside the house even while keeping doors and windows closed - one of the downstairs beds is actually a cot - hosts live right next door ##### Kevin G.
