Not as private as the pictures show. There are several cottages along the shore. The dishes, cutlery, cookware needed to be washed before use as there was visible dried food stuck to them. No propane in BBQ. Messaged host twice about this and got no response. Ran out of toilet paper on the third day. Messaged host. She said there were rolls on the shelf in the bathroom. We finally found several almost empty rolls in a container on the top shelf in the bathroom. There were no new rolls. Difficult to get a hold of host. We later found out that she was out of the country. It would be beneficial for her to have someone there to answer any question or concerns guest may have. The cottage is in a nice spot and has everything needed. It's just the lack of communication that was annoying and the fact that the pictures are a bit misleading as we thought it was completely private. On a side note. The cottage is loaded with religious/Christian sayings, signs, etc. There is a TV and DVD player. We thought the kids might watch a movie one night, but all the DVDs are Christian. I respect everyones beliefs, however I feel an airbnb should be neutral, as people come from all beliefs. We are atheist and found all the religious paraphernalia to be a bit much.
Beautiful sunsets and starry nights are definitely a plus!
