Hot tub water barely comes out. Took literally over a hour to get the water past the jets in tub. The floors were dirty. The bathroom tile was cracked in the shower and around the toilet, felt like you were gonna sink in. One side of the shower got hot and cold water, while the other has just cold water. To top it off we left for the day, to come back and all the parking was filled up. The owner was great, for the most part.
This was our first time staying at Cathy's Cottages, and although there were a few minor things we would have liked it was an overall great stay. The room was clean, they offer all the amenities, and the fireplace as well as the tub was the absolute best. We used the tub each night and it made the whole trip worth it while having the foreplace on. It was relaxing and just agreat experience. Check in and out was seamless and all info provided ahead of time. We will definitely be returning.
Great Place to stay, about 10 min drive to town, live the comfortable settings of Fireplace & Hot Tub. Everything was clean and ready for our stay, have stayed here twice in 3 years and will definitely be back.
