check in was pain free and easy.
the only area where our stay fell a bit short was the cleanliness. the company that cleans the suite left a note that said "we can't clean all the surfaces in the house after every guest, so here is a pair of gloves and some cleaning spray"
that was slightly annoying considering how much you pay for the cleaning fee.
with that being said, to the eye, the place looked quite clean.
we had a few other issues during our stay, but Maxine cleared them up fast and responsibly.
if you're looking for an affordable, quite place to stay, Maxine's cottage is a good option. the views and cozy fireplace is hard to beat.
