Very Good

This review is more about the hosts than the property itself, because we ended up at another location. That said, my opinion of the host is very positive! There was a last minute issue with the property, so the host contacted me and offered to relocate us to a different house nearby that could accommodate my group.The replacement house was very nice, comfortable, immaculately clean and they really did think of everything in terms of the supplies needed at the house! Comfy beds and amazing deck! Check in and check out were very easy and smooth. Communication with the hosts was clear and helpful. All in all, a great experience!

These two houses are very cute they just have an ODOR problem.The Buffalo Gal house must have had a skunk living underneath of it. It smelled like a skunk and there was scratching that could be heard at night. The other cottage was absolutely unlivable!!! The Sewer gas/septic smell was so strong we had to move to the other "Skunk" house. I called to ask and report this but it was 12 hours before we heard from a human despite leaving messages at two numbers and texting.. They did offer to search for another property or refund 1 night stay but honestly we were leaving in the morning and it was late afternoon when they finally called so was not worth moving. I think a full refund was in order. The cottages are decorated very fun and cute but the smell issue was quite unbearable.We were fortunately out with family for the majority of our stay. If we had planned to do a function and be at the houses we would have had to cancel . Also one of the twin beds had a broken frame which I'm sure they will fix.
