I enjoyed my stay at the Serene Cottage; however, there were unexpected inconveniences which, I believe, could have been avoided. There was no advance notification of cottage construction which took place over the course of 4 days when the entire front wall (facing the house) was completely replaced and also included the water being turned off, twice, both times unexpectedly. I had to vacate the unit each morning, and on one morning, after I’d left the unit very early, was informed the contractor needed inside access to caulk a window. Was not comfortable w/ providing access without being present so returned to the unit and waited for the window to be installed and caulked. Mentioning because this was after I was told the contractor would not need access. Additionally, I encountered a punctured tire due to a nail, from the construction (both the contractor and yard men had blown construction debris, leaves and acorns down the driveway), finding its way into my tire as I backed down the drive-way. Would encourage host schedule construction before tenants rent the space or provide sufficient notice and offer compensation due to the inconvenience experienced. The cottage is comfortable, the amenities plentiful - my stay would have been excellent were it not for the construction and no offer of compensation for the inconvenience.
