Terrible
Let's start off with the positive. Very clean and attractive small home close to the town center.
The negative. If you like being monitored, then this is the place for you. Within 3 hours of checking in we received a very curt email stating that we were in violation of the rental agreement for occupancy and that we had one hour to respond. Apparently the owner watches you through the doorbell cam. My son and his girlfriend had stopped by the home to eat dinner with us that evening and instead of calling to understand the situation it was easier for them to send a nasty gram. We called the management company and was unable to reach the individual responsible for the email (as another reviewer stated). The following afternoon is when we finally received a reply and we informed them that there had been no hot water since we arrived. This issue was never addressed or corrected so we spent three days without showers or any hot water. Also the heating system was difficult to use (as another reviewer stated).
In short, I stated my surprise and displeasure at being monitored, whether they have the right to do so or not is a creepy and unsettling feeling knowing that someone is watching you. Also the lack of concern or desire to correct a deficiency by the owner and management is also unacceptable.
All in all, a horrible experience.

Dresser
It would have been nice if there was a grab bar to get in and out of the shower. Also a dresser or shelves would have been nice so we didn't have to live out of our suitcase on the floor. Otherwise very nice

Adorable cottage
Clean, well stocked and maintained! Even though it is in the city, it has a great country feel. We even had a deer in our backyard every morning! Only thing would be if you want to sit outside bring some lawn chairs! But other then that one tiny thing this place was perfection!
