Great Location for Bike Week

The cottage is roomy and clean. The view is amazing! It is conveniently located (less than 5 miles) for Geneva-on-the-Lake Thunder on the Strip bike week. The only downfall was that this cottage is landlocked and has on-street parking not directly adjacent to the property. Parking is on a dead end street through and we had no problems. The owner was responsive and available via text or phone. We would stay here again.
