Beautiful location, property and host did not meet expectations
There are lots of positives about the property and area. Palmerston lake is gorgeous, the view and sunsets are spectacular, local people are great and it’s a great area to explore and fish. The dock space at the property is perfect and the kayaks available were great! On the downside, we had multiple issues- no hot water for 3 days out of 6, dishwasher broken, invasion of ants in the kitchen, lawn was long and unkept, the bunkie (3rd bedroom) was poorly ventilated and had a strong odour of mold, fridge was not functioning well (loud humming) and difficulty cooling. The host was very difficult. Poor communication, didn’t call when he was supposed to (for 2 days in a row) and was very slow to answer messages about not having hot water. He was sarcastic with responses commenting “it’s a cottage, ants are harmless” and accused us of being verbally aggressive. We ended up taking care of most of the issues ourselves. We purchased ant products, vacuumed out behind the fridge to get better airflow and attempted to air out the bunkie for someone to sleep but the odour was still too bad. Host was not interested in helping out except for the hot water 3 days later. Important notes not on the listing:- renters must take all of their garbage home with them, for us this was ok as we have a truck, but I can see this being a big issue for others. Especially if you stay for a week. - 3rd bedroom is a bunkie that in our opinion is not safe to sleep in due to the harsh mold smell.
