This was my second stay and I really enjoy this place. Josh is so amazing with an exceptionally fast response time to any questions or problems. My biggest complaint with this amazing little cottage is lighting. As an older person I need more lighting. There were no bedside table lamps on no lighting to read by while on the sofa or chair. The bedside tables are to low from the bed and one of them is convex so you can not put a glass of water on it. There are only two overhead lights to the room. I left Josh a night light for the bathroom so as not to leave bathroom lights blaring for those middle of the night trips. I can only hope he improves the bedside table and lighting problems and I would the. Return again during my spring trip. Otherwise not as I like to read .
