Charmante maison d'hôtes

Thank you for the feedback, all of which we will incorporate! You must not have stepped out to the private back porch which has a swing set to enjoy the outdoors as well as lawn chairs and a fire pit. We will add more pictures of the front and back areas of the guesthouse. The TV allows access to streaming services, and we will certainly include instructions to help clarify. Thank you again for the suggestions and for staying with us. It was a pleasure having you, sir!

Sheila, thank you for your feedback. We take pride in our home and genuinely welcome constructive input, so we'd like to address your points for the benefit of future guests. The unit was set to 65°F upon arrival, following a stretch of 85° temperatures the week prior. The thermostat is fully adjustable by guests to suit your preferences and comfort. Regarding cleanliness — our pre-arrival inspection and post-departure walkthrough both confirmed the unit was clean and the trash bin was empty. We have been consistently and exclusively praised for cleanliness by our guests, so we were genuinely surprised by this characterization. Your stay coincided with a severe, multi-day thunderstorm which brought significant humidity to the area. We are surrounded by lush rural New England landscape, which is part of the charm, but can be a factor for guests with sensitivities to pollen or changes in humidity. These are environmental conditions outside the unit that we unfortunately cannot control. Extra blankets, linens, towels, and additional pillows were all available in the closet throughout your stay. The unit has been freshly painted and updated with new appliances. We take care to represent it honestly and accurately in our listing, and guests consistently describe it as bright and charming with classic New England character — though we understand that aesthetic is a matter of personal taste. We have shared your comments with our housekeeping team as we always do, and we wish you well in your future travels.
