[¶22] The following facts further indicate a license to use the premises. Blevins *476never inspected the premises prior to taking occupancy. Morton & Furbish’s unilateral substitution of either the Caron cottage or another identified cottage for the one Blevins originally contracted to rent suggests a fungibility of accommodations that is more akin to a hotel or motel operation. During the family’s stay at the cottage, Morton & Furbish provided certain limited housekeeping and linen services, trash removal, as well as toiletries and other incidental household items. Morton & Furbish collected a sales tax for the rental, as required for the sale of a room or a vacation rental, which would not necessarily have been required for a tenant. See 36 M.R.S. § 1752(12).
