    4/5

    The house and property are gorgeous, comfortable, and clean. However the outside hot tub jets did not work. The check in time is 3 pm but we were not allowed to check in until 4. Despite these two issues, our stay was wonderful and we do intend on booking another vacation here.

    Hi Tammy, we want our guests to feel comfortable from the moment they arrive, and we’re glad to hear you had a nice stay overall. The cleaners mentioned that you arrived before the scheduled check-in time, and the previous guests had just departed, which may explain the overlap. The home was fully cleaned and ready by 2 PM. Regarding the hot tub, we haven’t heard about any issues recently, but it’s possible the jets needed to be reopened if they were closed by a previous guest—we’ll definitely check on that to make sure it’s good to go for future visitors.

    5/5

    The house is so cute, the land is beautiful, and the owners were very responsive. 10/10. We can’t recommend The Lil’ Red Hen Cottage enough!

    3/5

    - AC units in neither of the downstairs bedrooms worked properly

    - No indication that the property was so close to a major highway, in fact the pictures gave the feeling of being more out in the country

    - The hot-tub had dead leaves on the bottom. Not sure if they were left from the previous tenants or someone local had used it.

    Hi Mark, we want our guests to enjoy a comfortable and relaxing stay, so we’re sorry to hear about these concerns. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:

    -The hot tub was cleaned the day before your arrival, but debris like leaves can sometimes be blown in by heavy wind. If you had reached out, we could have arranged for the hot tub to be cleared during your stay.
    -The home is set back about 1,000 feet from the road.
    -The A/C units should be functioning correctly, and we would have been happy to address any issues if we had been notified.

    Thanks for taking the time to leave your review!

  • Wonderful Place to Stay with Family!

    5/5

    This was our 2nd time staying here and we just absolutely love it! Gives our family that time to relax and reset. There's a place for all to have their own space but also have family time as well.
