Keli is a wonderful hostess who has the cottage stocked with everything you could possibly need (even though we brought our own because we're not used to so many items being supplied!). She is also a great communicator and easy to reach if you have questions.
I'm a bit of a germaphobe and have trouble staying overnight anywhere because most places are never cleaned to my standards. I felt totally comfortable here. We even walked across the floor in our socks, and they didn't get dirty! I will say, however, that thick dust was very visible on the baseboards, blinds/sills, and it didn't look like anyone had vacuumed behind the bed because dust bunnies were thick there. A section of the bathroom wall was also coated from lint blowing from the exhaust fan, and one of the pillow cases had a couple stains (possibly make-up), so we changed that out just in case. We could handle the dust though because everything else was clearly disinfected, and the overall vibe of the place was cozy.
The cottage is close to everything you could possible want to do at GOTL. The Strip is only a 2-minute walk. We explored three beaches, wineries, farmer markets, restaurants, covered bridges, and more. The Adventure Zone Family Fun Center is the perfect place to go if you have kids.
The neighborhoods look a bit dumpy and properties in the area aren't well-maintained on the outside, but it's likely due to their age and weathering. We never felt unsafe & had a blast! Thank-you!
