Overall a wonderful stay. The house could have been a little cleaner and the ceiling leaked during heavy rains.

Overall, the house was great. There was no grill, as described, and housecleaning could do a little better (cobwebs over sink in bathroom, upstairs bedrooms not cleaned particularly well). But, things were doable, so no big complaints!

The Hartlaub Cottage was clean and much roomier than expected. We loved the crow's nest. The 360 view was spectacular. Cottage needs some work. Electrical issues. Breaker tripped multiple times a day in one section of the place.

Need new sturdier larger outdoor trash cans. Also. need an electrician to check ie loose outlet(s), lamp in living room bulb comes out of socket. Otherwise the house was perfect for us, a lot of character

Excellent service but the cabin really needs a lighting upgrade. Very dark minimal lighting with brighter bulbs needed throughout. Kitchen table seats are silly low compared to the table.
