3/5 for a few reasons.
1. The cottage thermostat is controlled via remote control and the place was way too warm, set to 86f (30c). Originally when entering the place it was fine, because outside was super cold. But the issue was that the remote control did not work! The batteries were dead! We had to go look for aa batteries just so we can sleep and not sweat throughout the entire night, and NO we are not leaving the doors or windows open because of potential bears. Same goes for the remote control for the TV.
2. The shower head was BUSTED, the pull tab did not spout any water from it downwards and we had to rely on bucks to "shower" ourselves. You would think they would test those little things ahead of time...
Otherwise, the place was clean, and the property is right beside the lake. It has been recently renovated, but you can tell the floors are un-even and patch panel being exposed isn't kind to the eyes.
The host was very thorough and communicated well, but it's the pebble in the shoe that ruins the entire place for me.
