The cottage was clean. But it did not look like the picture. The bedspread was a drab taupe and the couch was covered with a taupe protector, not the nice flower tapestry. The bed, instead of having a real box spring, had slabs of thick, un-sanded , unfinished plywood that protruded out from under the mattress. Coming back to bed at night after using the bathroom, we both scratched our leg against the sharp edge of the unfinished plywood. Very uncomfortable bed. The cottage does NOT have a fireplace, although I received instructions on buying wood. We brought wood with us but the "fireplace" as an electric contraption that had a screen with the image of a "fire".
Lastly, the bathroom was ridiculously small. I can tell they upgraded it, with new toilet and sink, but instead of tearing down the cumbersome and unnecessary huge built-in cabinet, they left that and kept a shower that has no more than 18" entrance, with a space inside of less than 24" x 24". The water pressure was fantastic, but to wash our hair, we had to bend from the neck. No room to bend from the waist, because your butt hits the wall! Most American people, slightly overweight, or even just tall, would not "fit" in that shower at all. We are not large, but it was very difficult to maneuver soap, shampoo and rinsing off in such tiny space. The kitchen was well equipped and the deck was pleasant. But because the bed was so uncomfortable and the tiny shower, we left a day early. Could not stay another night like that, not really sleeping well.
To the owners: Try putting in a hotel quality bed and linens, and tear down that shower where you have room for at least a proper 3' x 3' shower your guests can actually enjoy.
