Had a wonderful stay at the Sumner Sands Cottage. We were visiting Geneva for a weekend sporting event at Spire so needed a place for our family. The cottage was well-apportioned, convenient to Spire, and Toni was a great, communicative host. While it was still the off-season in GOTL, Geneva and Ashtabula were a quick drive for some nice dining options. Would definitely stay again.

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

House is beautiful with a well-equipped kitchen and a stocked with toiletries bathroom. It is clean and very close to everything. The only thing to note is that the two queen sized beds seemed to be doubles. My husband and I are tall people which made it a tight fit. Host was very helpful and accommodating.

Cute little cottage in quiet neighborhood

This property is very clean and modern. The inside is small but cozy. Check in was very easy and communication with Toni during our stay was very responsive. I will say that the beds are small so my husband and I stayed in separate bedrooms for comfort. The bunk beds could only be used by children or very young adults. Overall we had a great time and would definitely recommend for couples.. I believe it's too small for groups as the beds are small, the space is small and the counter stools are not the most comfortable. I would highly recommend Barley Vine Tours for golf cart rentals. They are only a few houses down and gave us a great deal on rental. Overall.. lovely little cottage in a quiet part of town within walking distance of the strip.. about 1/2 mile.

Cottage was perfect for our short 2 night stay. Very clean and well-stocked. Everyone had their own private space for sleeping and we enjoyed playing some of the board games in the evening. There was a nice outdoor fire pit and Adirondack chairs that we definitely would have enjoyed had it not been so hot/humid. The walk to the strip was 5-10 minutes. We would definitely return!

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!

The house is beautiful and very clean! The only thing is we have an electric vehicle and it was not put in the listing that we have to pay extra for charging. We did not findout til the last day I got a message with pictures telling me we had to pay extra. We have like to have know that before hand. But other than that it was fine.

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+

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.
