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!

Great place!

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!
