Best of two worlds

On vrbo it said there were two queen and two full beds upstairs but there was only one bed in each room and 2 twin beds upstairs. Trundle bed downstairs. We all wanted our own bed so that is one reason why we choose this cottage. Two had to sleep on the couch and love seat. So that was awful!

Nice cottage, carnival atmosphere

Cottage was nice. Nothing fancy but clean and good price. The town of GOTL is quite the place. Big biker culture. So lots of dive bars, arcades and live music venues. But plenty to do for kids and unique shopping. Enjoyed our time in this eccentric town, but when this listing says it’s in the heart of the strip, they MEAN it. It is steps from the heart of the strip. So if you want peace and quiet, this is not the place. But we enjoyed the vibe and had fun. Beach was decent but small. Overall would recommend if you like to go out and party and walk home.

Great place

Karen was so easy to communicate with during our stay. Our power went out and she was kind enough to check with the electric company and gave us an estimated time. The location of the home was perfect. Other driving to a few wineries we never moved our cars. We would definitely stay here again!

Our stay at the beach

We were all very pleased with the cottage. The location was good as far as walks on the strip. We were disappointed in how much the rock music traveled to the cottage. That was the only negative we experienced. The luxury of a second shower would have been helpful with the adults, but we managed fine. We were especially pleased with how quickly a couple concerns were addressed when we arrived. Our manager was most pleasant and very helpful.

We loved the house and the location! Our boys loved swimming at the beach. The house was pretty clean, but I think a new shower curtain liner would be nice. We were very comfortable there and enjoyed every minute of our stay!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Gould

Host profile image
Our mother grew up here in GOTL living with her grandmother in the 1920's. After marrying our father and moving to California and then Florida for many years, our parents decided to return to the lake and purchased this cottage in '84 as a summer retreat. With their passing, we wanted to keep the GOTL heritage alive and took charge of the cottage in 2011. We updated the cottage almost from the ground up with new windows, electric, insulation, wood, tile & carpeted flooring. Central Air Conditioning and heat duct work was added to every room but the sun room. In 2014, we completed furnishing, decorating and stocking Happy Trails Cottage to create a comfortable, fun, easy living space where guests can go to the private beach and relax and swim or jump into the action along Ohio's first Lake Resort town. We look forward to having you visit and enjoy your stay in Happy Trails Cottage!
