Positives: The cottage was very nice and spacious, it can easily fit 12 people. The Hot Tub and Sauna were are pretty good. We really liked the open space and large dining table. Other:1. Unsafe Access Due to Snow and IceUpon arrival, the cottage and stairs were completely covered in snow, making access unsafe. I reported this immediately. The host initially stated someone would come to clear the snow the next day. However, when I followed up, the host reversed this and stated no one would come at all. This created a clear safety hazard for our group.2. Extremely Cold Indoor Temperature and Locked ThermostatWhen we arrived, the cottage was extremely cold and not properly heated. The thermostat was locked by the host and set to auto, repeatedly reverting to 21C. This temperature was insufficient to warm the house, especially in winter conditions. After repeatedly asking, the host reluctantly adjusted it to 24C, but we lost most of Friday night trying to warm the house.3. Undisclosed Induction Stove – Unable to CookThe cottage had an induction stove, which was not disclosed in the listing. None of the cookware we brought was compatible. We were a group of 12 people and required larger pots for cooking, which were unusable. As a result, we were unable to prepare meals on the first night. I reported this issue to VRBO support as well, but with the host unresponsive, there was no solution.4. Host Non-Responsiveness During Critical Period
