The reviews on this cottage baffle me- is nobody going to mention the smell? We arrived at 11pm, and immediately upon opening the front door were hit with the smell of mustiness and it only got worse the further we walked into the house. The coral bedroom and the main bedroom with the queen bed had the least amount of smell, but the rest of the house just reeks. Our daughter has asthma along with bad allergies, so we knew we wouldn’t be able to stay. We all woke up the next morning stuffy, with puffy eyes and just feeling gross- we were out of there as soon as possible. The house is surface clean, but they have a serious mold issue somewhere. I understand that the house is in an older area- but they know there is moisture because there were 3 “moisture eliminator” traps that we saw in various rooms.
Pros: well stocked, surface clean
Cons: mold, moist and musty, located in a not so great neighborhood, which may not matter depending on how much time you spend in the house. I definitely wouldn’t have felt comfortable sitting out in the backyard at night
