4/10 Poor

Disliked: Cleanliness
This cottage is on the rustic end if you don’t mind that, but was not clean and in poor condition due to a half-finished renovation when we rented it. We weren’t informed until three days before our check-in date that the porch was under renovation and behind schedule. Upon arrival the key was not where it was supposed to be and we did not get a response for two hours. (It was dark and I was traveling with a young child.) There was construction dust and debris inside and outside and it seemed clear the house had not been cleaned in some time. We found several health and safety hazards including pests, peeling paint (not safe for my 2-year-old), exposed wires, nails and glass. I communicated the hazards and gave the owner several opportunities to respond and was ghosted once I brought the issues to his attention. Given the extensive issues, I feel the need to share this info for other renters. It is especially not suitable for children, elderly or anyone with allergies or mobility issues. The grounds are lovely with the fire pit and pool and the owner was polite while we were in contact, but the property should not be rented until a renovation and thorough cleaning are completed.
