• 3/5

  The beds were way to soft. The fenced in back yard made it easy to take care of the dog.

• Just okay. Beware of hobbit door.

  3/5

  I left the majority of my feedback directly with the owner but I will add a few points for future users. This place "sleeps" nine and that is about all you would be able to do here. Nine people would be on top of each other here.

  Also, with the fees being charged by VRBO or owners these days this "bring your own TV" is nonsense. Spring for basic cable. The owner was very communicative. There was an issue with the hot water tank and she kept us informed before check in.

  Manager's Response:

  Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I’m glad you found our communication helpful throughout your stay. As mentioned in our listing, the property is a cozy space that comfortably accommodates up to nine guests for sleeping but may not be ideal for larger gatherings. We strive to be transparent in our description so guests can book with the right expectations.
  
  Regarding the TV, we do offer internet streaming options but do not provide cable service, which is clearly noted in the listing. We focus on providing an affordable and pet-friendly experience, including a fenced yard for your pup to enjoy—a feature that hotels often lack.
  
  Additionally, we want to emphasize that our property is best suited for a relaxing getaway and is not intended for large gatherings or parties. We'll make sure to update our listing to reflect this more clearly.
  
  We appreciate your suggestions, and I’m always open to ways we can improve. Thank you again for choosing our property!

• Lots of little things conspired to make stay just OK

  3/5

  The unit was clean. However, the toaster didn't work, there was no light in the fridge, the bathroom light fixture had only one working bulb, there was no laundry detergent, only a few of the wall switches turn on any lights, the back door desperately requires a low-clearance sign so you only bump your head once. Hot water is limited, and I don't see how three (let alone nine) occupants could get showered and shaved in the tiny bathroom in the morning. There were plenty of linens and towels, however one set of bedding had a strong stale detergent fragrance — a chemical stench — that was intolerable. So we switched linens. Thankfully the smell was confined to the one set of linens. One double bed is medium firm, the larger bed (with the smelly bedding) is quite soft, too soft, so we switched to separate smaller beds in another room. The small but securely fenced-in yard was great for the dog in the morning. The step up into the kitchen will get you if you don't pay attention. Overall, the stay was OK, we are not likely to return though.

  "Hi Mark, 
  We're glad the home was very clean and happy to hear that the enclosed yard worked well for your dog. It's wonderful you were able to bring your dog while traveling and have a place where they can be comfortable. We'd like to clarify the following:
  - We checked the toaster, and it works fine. However, it's possible there may have been an issue with the outlet, and it has been flagged, so there's no confusion.
  - We have replaced all bathroom light bulbs. In the event that it is too bright, the bulbs can be loosened.
  - A sign was added to the back door cautioning about the low ceiling.
  - We hope that since you had extra sets of linens and bed options, you were able to get comfortable.
  - The bathroom and home are small, as shown in the listing photos.  
  Thanks for sharing your feedback. It helps us make improvements for future guests."

• Met our needs

  5/5

  Cute little cottage. We mostly needed somewhere to stay and sleep our family of 5. We ate out most of the time and only did breakfast there, we used the fridge and toaster and that’s about it. It adequately met our needs!

• Great location and fantastic host!

  5/5

  We had a great time in this home. Great location if you're visiting Gettysburg. We ran into a few problems like locking our keys in the house and the host was very quick to respond and help out. Highly recommend!
