The only suggestion to make things better would be to add outside, lighting for when guests arrive late at night as we had difficulty finding the property and navigating the outside

My family and I really enjoyed staying at Lela’s Cozy Cottage. Melissa our host was absolutely amazing! The backyard was great for our two fur babies. The beds were very comfortable and the Christmas tree was a beautiful touch for our holiday stay. We will definitely be back!!! Thank you again Melissa for the hospitality!
The home was clean and cozy! We only stayed one night but it was everything we needed—coffee, TVs and comfortable beds and more! Great location to Quincy University. Restaurant recommendations were great. Ate at The Abbey, Kelly’s and The Sprout—enjoyed them all!!

The property was very clean and easy to use. We were only there for an overnight stay during a road trip so we did not get to take advantage of the amenities, but the beds were comfortable and I appreciated the pumpkin spice coffee in the morning! It's important for future guests to note that we did not have cell phone service starting about 10 minutes out of Quincy (we use Verizon) and I had not thought to screenshot the door code or WiFi password. We ended up finding an unsecured WiFi near the Chevy service station and could access the messages from the owner to get the door code. I didn't mark any stars off for this because this was not the property owner's fault or within their control.

The property was just ok, but was the only place available that weekend. The house was clean enough but smelled terribly of smoke. Luckily the weather was nice so we could leave the windows open to get fresh air. The water never got hot so we settled for cold showers.
