Beautiful cottage, spectacular property, wonderful hosts. Not sure what else to say? We came up to CT with our pup to look at areas we may want to move to. The cottage was perfect for us, nice and private and lots of land for our pup to walk. Great state park a few miles away and plenty of good restaurants nearby. Very happy!

A few observations and comments. The following 5 items are fact and not opinion.
1. Kitchen ceiling fan blades interfere with 2 cabinet doors. Also fan lights are too low allowing tall guests to hit their heads. Hazardous condition.
2. The single smoke detector did not work.
3. The shower control is reversed. Hot water should be on the left and cold on the right.
4. Although there was plenty of closet space, there were no dressers or chests to store clothing. Living out of a suitcase is not ideal while on vacation.
5. An electrical cord attached to a lamp in the living room is being pinched by a cabinet door creating a dangerous electrical condition.
Comment: The exterior of the property needs a lot of work. The owners may be overwhelmed due to size of the property but should take steps to make improvements.
