New cozy home near Outlets & Amish Country

Location

While the location of this rental was convenient, the condition and cleanliness of the property were unacceptable and fell well below expectations. Upon arrival, we immediately encountered numerous bugs in the living area, particularly around the windows and entryway. The refrigerator’s water/ice dispenser appeared unsanitary, to the point that we did not feel comfortable using it at all. Cleanliness throughout the home was a significant concern. In one of the bedrooms, the light switch and surrounding area had clearly not been cleaned in some time. In the main bedroom, we found long strands of hair on surfaces, including the lamp and towels. More concerning, the mattress pad had visible, significant stains, which made the bed feel unhygienic and unacceptable for guest use. There were also maintenance issues, including a broken toilet paper holder in the bathroom. Additionally, basic housekeeping standards were not met - linens and other items were not properly put away, requiring us to search through the dryer and dishwasher, which is not an appropriate expectation for arriving guests. While occasional oversights can happen, the number and severity of these issues reflect a clear lack of proper cleaning and turnover standards. Cleanliness is a fundamental requirement for any rental property, and unfortunately, this stay did not meet even basic expectations.

Very clean, had everything we needed ³

The living room/kitchen area is lovely for hanging out with friends, and the bedrooms are a nice size. Using a door code is helpful, not having to track a key throughout our stay. The appliances are good quality and easy to use.

The house was not too clean - spiderwebs in many places, deck not swept off, lawn was very long. The dishwasher operates but does not clean the dishes. We washed them all by hand. Having only one bathroom has its limitations, obviously.

Close by to stores & restaurants

The property had cob webs in the bathroom, bedrooms and living room, very noticeable! The water smelled really bad coming from both the shower and sink. The door knob was hanging off the twin bedroom door. Contacted owners and they said they never had complaints about the water smell & it would resolve since the water sat in the well for a week. It didn’t get better the 2 nights we were there. They also said they were not aware of the doorknob. Bad Water stains in the fridge water dispenser on the door and all the way down the door. Property is very loud being it’s very close to main road. Property had to get out of to main road during peak traffic times. The front door is very damaged & needs replacing, the front door knob isn’t very secure! Found stain on the lamp in front bedroom & hair on the other lamp shade. Would not recommend or stay again! Very disappointed in the cleanliness of this property for the price! This whole property needs an update! Some walls need to be spackled & repainted!

We appreciated the home like accomodations.

It made no difference but was in a more congested area than expected.

Newly remodeled and very clean

Proximity to Main Street close and large noisy trucks passing through all night. Curb appeal was poor. Dirt flower beds and raggy shrubs.

The location of the cottage was central. They’ve done a nice job with renovations inside the home.

There are a few items that need updating. A low battery alarm in the basement went off for the duration of our stay despite us alerting the owners.

It was a peaceful ambiance, with convenient stores locally so you could do whatever you want in walking distance. Perfect for a getaway.

No complaints, the stay was great.
