We’ll be back!
Pros:

It’s bigger than what I had expected. The kitchen is very spacious. We will book this place again!

Cons:

Not much but it could have used a toaster, spatula, some movies for the DVD player and some board games, cards maybe.

Great little place for a weekend getaway
Pros:

Located in downtown Idaho City so we were able to walk everywhere. Very spacious inside, yet the cozy intimate feel.

Cons:

Window AC that had cardboard, allowing a draft to flow in the living room.

Nice and quiet
Pros:

We really enjoyed the stay. My only complaint is , the rooms needed ac units in them. They had 1 big portable in living room it was not enough to keep bedrooms cool enough @ night. They should invest in some split units for this place. Other than that i would give it over all 5/5

I would definitely stay again!
Pros:

Very nice. comfortable, and clean. Towels and bedding very comfortable. Short walk to town. Full kitchen.

Cons:

Since the cottage did not have central air conditioning, ceiling fans would be a huge addition in the bedrooms. The current front door lock is very difficult to operate it would be a great addition to add a keyless entry and the code could be changed after each guest.

Pros:

The cottage itself was not to bad but is obviously older and on arriving there was a strong musty odor. After opening the widows it somewhat subsided but was always present. The cottage has no air conditioning save a portable unit that did not work. Idaho summers can get quite hot even though it does cool in the evenings. However with no way to move the air, not even a fan it took some time to cool down. The internet was not working when we arrived and we were told it was out all over town. However when it came back up we received a message from the provider that service was suspended due to lack of payment. Contacted the host again and was told to try another network but there was no other network. It was frustrating because we were going to do some work while staying there. Luckily the cell service is good but there is no free Wi-Fi. To top everything off the coffee machine also didn't work so no coffee unless you drive to the local gas station. I think the host with some very small changes could have a nice rental but he needs to work on a few things. We didn't come there to hang out at the cottage but will use different accommodations next time.
