We enjoyed our stay at this cozy cottage despite a few glitches: first, the AC broke (but we didn’t need it) and it was quickly fixed. Second, the WiFi was very weak. Third, a storm knocked out the hot water tank, but it was fixed quickly as well. Luckily, New England Rentals was very responsive, and we enjoyed our stay despite the hickups.
