The fire pit was very basic and unkempt. I had to wipe off mold, mildew and bird poop off the chairs before they could be used. It faced the cement foundation of the cottage. The creek was more like an overgrown ditch. There were no scenic views, deck, porches etc. However, the house was clean and close to town, we did not think it close enough to walk though. The host responded quickly to our disappointment and did send firewood, starter sticks and cleaned up the fire pit.
