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.

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!!!’
