Super fun place to stay!

My hubs and I, along with our pup, stayed here for six days. The location was fantastic, and the Golden Girls theme was awesome!!! The place has everything you need, is clean, and feels relatively spacious despite it only being a one bedroom/one bath. The hosts were awesome—super responsive/communicative and wanted us to have everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!!!! Highly recommend!!!’

This was such a cute place! My wife loves the Golden Girls so I surprised her with an overnight stay for our 4yr anniversary and she absolutely loved it. Its in a great location only 5-10 mins from downtown/waterfront and in a quiet neighborhood. Brandon had great communication and even offered for us to check in early. Overall great experience and I would not only stay here again myself I'd recommend it to everyone I know.

Is there a rating over 5 stars? If so, I'd give it to this incredible cottage. The attention to detail in the design, decor and all the quality well-thought out touches easily makes the GG Cottage the best, cleanest, and most welcoming I've ever stayed in. It truly was a ‘golden’ experience.
