I was really looking forward to my time here. It was a cute village of condos/cottages. I arrived later in the evening and had difficulty locating my unit because there was minimal outdoor lighting in the parking area or on the driveway. The assigned parking spots are not clearly marked so it was challenging to find it in the dark (it was 8:30 p.) No big deal though-they warn you it's hard to see in the dark there and I appreciated the heads up.
When I got into my unit, the place was clean, charming and cozy. But it was cold. There was no heater or any way to take the chill out of the place. It stayed this way my whole stay, where I would wear a sweatshirt to bed. Also, the front door has a large glass window so you can see out to the driveway. During the day, wonderful. At night, for a woman traveling alone in an isolated area, scary. And there was no shade to pull down. I spent my nights trying to avoid the door, especially because there was no way for me to hang a towel to block the view to the inside.
When I called the number for the 24 hour service, I had to leave a message about my parking permit (you needed this to park there or be towed). I also texted a number. Thankfully they responded to my text and the parking permit was left for me in the door the next day.
The shower was great. Lots of nice toiletries.
I work from home and I was there during the day working. The housekeeping staff were in the unit next to me, talking on the phone, for almost an hour. I could hear every word as if they were standing in the room with me. The walls were not soundproof and if another person or family were there, I would have heard them and they me.
Ultimately, I was so uncomfortable that I left two nights early. No one asked me why I was leaving and I was definitely not offered a refund for the unused nights. I don't think I will stay here again, but if did I would not do it alone and I would not want to share a building with others (no privacy)
In response to the owner:
Perhaps you could also leave information about where to find the heater/thermostat, then? So your guests don't have to be uncomfortable or wait for someone to answer their call?
