Perfect cottage

This cottage is perfect for a long weekend. Close to the strip, clean, and has all the amenities needed to enjoy your stay. We go to Geneva every year as an anniversary trip because we got married at the lodge. We will be staying here again

Great Lake stay!

We had a great girls weekend and this house had everything we needed. Plenty of space for all of us inside and out. We enjoyed the wineries that were close by and played Putt-Putt on the strip. Toni was great to communicate with; she went above and beyond to help us out with some local attractions in the area. Overall it was a great stay and we highly recommend!

Charming

We were very pleased with this adorable property. It's small but doesn't feel small. The owners have creatively maximized the use of space, and it fit our group of five quite comfortably. Would definitely rent it again.

Slice of Quiet!

My mom and I recently stayed for a long weekend and enjoyed this cottage. It was very nicely decorated and above all, it was clean! I would sit on the back patio at night and watch the fireflies with no noise from the strip. Super peaceful. Toni was great to work with and she was very responsive. I'm not sure I'd want to walk to the strip from this cottage only because it's so dark at night and Presidential Dr. is really long. But, if you were with a group and had flashlights it might be fine. We drove and parked on the strip instead, which was no problem at all. We also found out that the golf cart taxis could shuttle us if needed. Overall, it was just perfect for us and everything was provided. The mattresses were SO comfortable and I've never slept so well. I needed that! Thank you very much and we would absolutely book this cottage again. A+

Perfect little house close to the strip

We had a great time staying here. It was easy to access and very clean. Although it's a small house you don't feel cramped at all. It had everything we needed and just a 5-10 minute walk to the strip.

Cute, modern home with lots of light

Toni has taken care of every detail in this rental! It was nice to have a hair dryer, shampoo and conditioner, and some other basics provided so I didn't have to pack those items. We also enjoyed some board games and magazines on a rainy evening. Such an efficient use of space. It lives so much bigger than it appears from the outside. Speaking of which, there is also a nice outdoor space with a covered back patio and plenty of chairs to move into the backyard if you have sunny days. Location is great. You can walk to the main strip but you're far enough away to have peace and quiet. We had a small issue with the check-in process, but Toni was quick to respond and get us taken care of. Overall, would recommend and would stay again.

Over all our stay was a great experience

We rented the place with a group of friends for an overnight on New Years Eve. It was cute and clean. My only complaint would be Francis Rd. It has some potholes and it isnt paved and doesn't have any gravel or street lights so it was a bit muddy and hard to see walking to and from the Strip. I know that isnt the home owners fault but it is a concern for other renters.

So comfortable!

We went for bike week and this was just a short walk to all the happenings but could come back to our little house and enjoy a fire in the backyard without all the noise. House is small but so well planned that 6 people fit very comfortably. The covered back porch is a bonus for shade and rain. Thanks Toni!

Classy Cottage

Upon entering the property you distinctly notice how clean it smelled. Every room was immaculate. Communication with the owner was extremely swift.. Great place for adults and the bunk beds, the lower bunk was comfortable but it would be hard for an older adult to get in and out of if they had any back issues. Location was very convenient.
