We were hoping the pictures posted were just poor quality, but the pictures were accurate. The phrase,
“Pictures don’t do it justice” is true for the cottage. It is dark, dingy, and every room is unappealing. Yes, the surfaces on all sinks, tub, kitchen counter tops were clean, but nothing has been updated inside or outside. The front and back porches could have held some nice, inviting outdoor furniture, but instead the front greeted us with empty flower pots strewn about and three old barstools. Shabby describes it well. The back porch held old rolling desk chairs with no arms. Beyond the porch was full, FULL of trash and junk. What a pleasant site! Inside, each window was adorned with shades, sheers, and dark curtains (bedrooms and living area). The dining table was covered with a plastic tablecloth that looked very unappetizing to eat from. The cottage posted that breakfast was provided. We found four eggs and butter in the fridge. Two boxes of cereal were available on top of the fridge. BOTH boxes were open. The floors had rugs which were dingy and drab. The headboard in the room we slept was a faux plastic. It looked like a thick wooden headboard but nope- plastic. Nothing in the cottage is acceptable. Why did we book it? Well, we planned at the last minute, OU/TX weekend, and I was hopeful the pictures were just shadowy. We’ve stayed in 5-6 AirBnBs and this is hands down the worst.
I’m curious as to who gave this place good reviews? And how did it get acceptable reviews. Be forewarned.
