Awful
Rats in the walls, scalding hot water only or cold. Gathering space in a wide chair only in the entry hall. No windows in the two tiny bedrooms. Glass doors between the bedrooms. Heater comes on with a loud clap! Very poor communication with the owner who never returned calls. Stayed one miserable night of the two nights only.

Nicely equipped for a short stay
The kitchen is well stocked with all the basics, including things like cooking oil and spices. The bathroom included shampoo, conditioner, and body wash (the listing doesn’t specify this).
The layout is odd—the bedrooms are tiny and the beds are really crammed in there. The bathroom is huge, probably larger than the bedrooms. The "living room" is more of a foyer and definitely not set up for any more than 2 people. The furniture and decor is kind of random, like they raided someone's grandma's attic, but it's all totally functional.
The location is convenient - easy access to highways to get to Pinnacles NP or Monterey etc. It is not walkable to any stores or restaurants - about a 5 minute drive to any stores.

Quaint
Quiet and beautiful area. The property needs a deep cleaning and updates. The furniture needs to be deep cleaned in what is called the living room. The walls in the space need to washed and/or painted. The shower drainage is slow causing the water to rise when showering, which is gross. The shower door needs to be scrubbed as well. Left over soap scum at the bottom of the door was gross. I wore shower shoes the entire time. The floors of the property were not clean either. So walking barefoot was not an option. Looking at the cleanliness of the overall space just need a thorough deep cleaning and wiping down. I would suggest checking any dates on the perishables as well. I made a cup of coffee and could not drink it as the creamer smelled spoiled and curdled in the coffee. Honestly I expected more for the cost. Cleanliness is so important. So much potential but could be more presentable to guests.

Overall great stay
The only real issue was that we were staying in this cottage to get away from a hotel experience and so were surprised when the chateau identified themselves as a hotel. Luckily it was not the traditional hotel experience.

Good stay
Cozy quite place. A little small (1 bed and 1 bank bed) but it was enough for us - family of 4. HUGE bathroom. Basketball and Pool table are a nice touch. Stand alone unit with everything necessary in the separate kitchen. That was a deal for us. Everything within short drive. Awesome stay.

In the Area for Sea Otter bike festival
This cottage was a convenient location to hang out and cook a few simple meals while in the area for the Sea Otter Bike festival. It housed me, my husband, and 18 year old son. There was good communication with the owners and no concerns noted.

It’s okay
The space reminds me a starter Sims house. Everything is just a little off and pretty janky. The bed was super uncomfortable. The internet was spotty at best and there was a strange noise in the wall all night, not a critter or anything, but some kind of electronic beeping/pulsing. The buildings and grounds are very beautiful but they just need updating.

Very nice
This cottage was the perfect place to stay while visiting our daughters and their families who live up the street. It had what we needed to have a comfortable stay. The onlydownside was the placement of the outlets in the bedrooms to charge our devices. It was extremely awkward and make it difficult. Unless they replace lamps in each bedroom with lamps that have a plug plus usb charging stations I’d bring a couple extension cords with you. One of the outlets was also dead. Other than that hiccup it was fine and we will return. It was nice to have a private front and back decks too.

Nice stay
The cottage was clean and cozy. The bedrooms were nice sized and the bunk bed has a double for the bottom which worked well for my 6 foot teenager. Large bathroom with a nice shower. The front room is small but the patio is spacious, unfortunately we didn't get a chance to use it due to our timeline. Would definitely come back to utilize the patio. All in all a good spot.
