We chose to stay at Adriane's cottage Thanksgiving night because it is close to my father's house and presented as an affordable option in the offseason. The cottage was fine. I tolerated the broken wifi and the bed on wheels because I thought we were saving money.
Shame on me for not taking a closer look when confirming my booking; Adriane charged us 75% of our one-night rental charge as a cleaning fee. I've enjoyed week-long rentals with more than double the guests and not been charged this high of a cleaning fee. Despite the high fee, signs are posted throughout the home demanding guests run laundry and clean up the cottage before they leave. When I asked to half the cleaning fee since we (one couple) stayed one night, Adriane declined and pointed out I agreed to the fee when I booked. I'll be more careful next time! Buyer beware.
