If you can deal with the slow response time for maintenance and slow bathtub drains / toilets then its not a bad value for itinerant / traveling workers/ nurses. I'm going to give ALL the pros and cons because if I'm going to tell it I will tell it ALL.
Good value for the rate of 300.00/weekly or 1200.00 monthly since utilities, full kitchen, bathroom, and WiFi are included along with some dishes and kitchen ware. I do like the Hammock and the Gazebo in the summertime Pros! Indoor pool--not operating now-- --if I didn't swim somewhere else--it might be a plus; but seasonal. It is more spacious than what you will get with most lodging hotels at the price and that is also a plus. And it is always a good thing that at least there are NO bedbugs. I can say that much for now. Always glad of that.
That being said we all know there's no such thing as perfect. (You win some and you lose some. )
Cons! Currently dealing with a RODENT infestation. I didn't bring any with me so I don't want to take any back to my permanent home. The place is out in rural area but still doesn't explain why there are rodents when there is a cat kept next door in the shed/ cottage.
I think that if you don't mind staying on top of the Inn Keeper's head to keep him focused then you may not have any problems or take issues that I did. I suspect things may also go differently for you if you are a male type guest instead of female in this cottage back here. I don't like to bother people and I don't want to be or expect to bothered myself! That is part of why I THOUGHT I was paying the money that I do for the stay back here. Not w/o hassle.
I'm sure if Inn Keeper prioritized prompt upkeep and address of maintenance issues the same way he seemed prioritize asking about when and where I would be w/o clothes next or 'when I was going to Sunny Haven next' --his own words-- it wouldn't be now since July that lock on front door has still to be fixed, or these critter bugs and cobwebs removed from the corners of ceiling, and now rat problem, and slow toilets and tub drains fixed. With that said I really think that InnKeep could use some extra help around the property truthfully and that is the issue. One person trying to manage all this by themselves. I hope Host gets that resolved soon for this business which is otherwise/aside from current issues, a great place to stay / good value for pricing.
I get the impression that degree of helpfulness is somewhat reflective of / varies according to InnKeep's hopefulness or expectations of friendliness / familiarity on part of the guest. Like I said I payed the 1200.00 monthly to have a place to stay when not at work or traveling somewhere else and especially NOT to be bothered. That's my one job. I expect Host to do his. Cash the checks that I give him and keep the place operational and repairs if needed promptly.

Dude called at 2130 while I was in the bed last night about the repair for the bathtub drain which I told him I would Yelp about if it was not done by days end. Really!?! So he said he got busy with ..... I stopped listening after that but he did agree to come out and fix it after he got off work today. Bankers/Postal hours should equal sometime after 1700 or 1800. We will see if word is made good on.
But I like to be good on my word....
Soooo...... I guess I've got to blast it off like I said I would do.
There's so much more I could say but this is getting long and I will just leave Readers / Reviewers with the pictures I have. read more
