I had received emails prior to arrival on the "no contact" check in process at the cottage and the instructions said to call the phone number given upon arriving at the property for a lock box code for the entry door as the office would not be manned with a person. I had sent a message thru the text conformation during the day telling the approximate time of anticipated arrival and asked a question on what type of coffee pot was provided (kurig cups?) as to be prepared for hot coffee. No answer from the host.
upon arriving at the property, as instructed I called the number listed in my reservation emails and after about 15 rings -no answer. The exterior light was on at the brick house that had an office sign, but no-one around,- waited a few minutes and called again , this time got an answering machine after 15 rings. I left a message to say that we had arrived and needed a lock box code and a unit number. waited 15 more minutes, knocked on the "office "door- no answer. Called again and left another message on the answering machine. After half hour, we left discouraged, drove about 5 miles to look for another property for our two night planned stay. After checking 2 other places, I finally received a call back (from a different number on the caller ID), so drove back to spruce cottages to be instructed to a dark porch at cottage 52. outside light didn't work. once inside, cracks and stains in the sink and tub, lumpy mattresses and very loud creaky beds, Minifridge had rust.
