    Overall, the home was an absolute joy. There were a few minor things that I would change about the house. First, there are no king size beds, not even one. However that was listed on the reservation page, it’s just a personal preference. Also, the television in the Master bedroom in the basement would not connect to any channels. Also the Wi-Fi speed was terrible 9less than 1meg down) and the television upstairs kept buffering and was essentially unwatchable, even after manually restarting the router and cable modem. Overall I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars, because it’s really a great place and great location.

    This is the second time we have stayed at this house and it’s perfect for our crew! The basement room provides great space for family gear while the upstairs rooms are the perfect sizes. The property management is great at communication and was available to make last minute updates to our reservation. We will definitely come back!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the location, but the slant of the house and the odd layouts of bathrooms was definitely different. Closed in backyard was wonderful for storing our dirt bikes and letting the dogs run. All in all the location wins, but the house is a bit odd. We never really got comfortable.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We just concluded our 3rd week-long stay at the Cottage House. A nice big home, wellvattended and loaded with all you will need.We spent the 4th of July week there and it was big fun. The town goes all out to entertain everyone and the fireworks were fantastic. If you watch paradrs you'll get very wet on the west side of the street where the Cottage House is. We loved it though!We highly recommend the home to anyone who wants a great place to stay.

    The house is in a fantastic location accessible to the town by walking. The living spaces are wide open and very accommodating for families staying here. The kitchen was nice with all the appliances and needs anvailable and in great condition. The host was very responsive and helpful when reaching out. Downsides are there is a half bathroom on the first floor, but the showers and baths are upstairs and have a great distance to travel to shower if you sleep in the basement. The house has character by being unlevel/off-kilter which will make bedroom doors hard to close and they will slam at all hours (even middle of the night). The unlevelness will make it hard for the elderly climb stairs. 2/4 bedrooms are tight spaced which makes it challenging for adult couples or elderly staying with you. Parking is behind the house, but is tight if you have 2 cars. We looked to extend the stay beyond new years, and was disappointed when we requested they doubled the nightly stay rate and upped the service fees because of “peak holiday season”, but when looking to book dates around that timeframe via the app they had nothing booked for a month either way which made it felt like price gouging.

    Perfect place to stay with a house packed full of everything you would need. Clean, plenty of room for a family and a great location. We had an issue with the washing machine and the host was quick to fix the issue. 5 stars in our book!

Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. Big table for family meals or games. Having four bedrooms was fantastic! The air conditioning in the bedroom area worked well. Would definitely stay here again.

    We love this rental home! This was our third stay at this beautiful historic home. Our family had everything that we needed and more! This home was clean and comfortable and located directly on Main Street. We will be back, hopefully soon. Wish we could have stayed longer! Most enjoyable vacation ever in this awesome home away from home!

    First, let me say that the location on main street is very good, and communication about issues with property manager was excellent. However, part of the house is not level... especially the down stairs bathroom, property needs painting on outside very badly, cleanliness of property was acceptable but not great, kitchen was serviceable, bathroom in MBR does not have a door (awkward to say the least), toilets in very tight spaces and very low to floor, outdoor space was not well landscaped, stairs very narrow and hard to navigate, railings on stairs and on back steps had splinters if not very careful. Only one trash receptacle, which was not nearly big enough for 7 people... but property management was very good about picking up extra bags that would not fit in bin. With some work on the property it would be a good place, especially considering the excellent location.
