Could be better. Tired and dated
The coziness of the images is in reality, simply a dark interior with insufficient light. The vines across the top of the cottage entry were dead, also detracting from basic features. The windows and doors do not function as well as would be expected, with a bedroom door that was very difficult to lock once open. Amenities included a coffee maker, but the 1990s coffee maker was actually found in a lower cabinet. No directions on how to use the TVs and no standard cable option. recommendations to the owner - paint the interior a light color. Improve the lighting, remodel the kitchen with new appliances, counter tops and cabinets. Improve the flooring throughout. Improve the yard area, fencing off the back half of the yard that is primarily dead grass and dirt. Upgrade your furniture and fixtures and you will be able to charge significantly more and stay full more often. Make sure toilets function perfectly. don't ever ask a guest to assemble an umbrella you just bought for the outdoor area. Trim and upgrade the landscape. Overall, take advantage of the location and upgrade the property. It will be worth it. Until then, I would not recommend anyone stay there....
