Whether you’re here for a romantic weekend, a girls’ night out, or a quiet getaway, this cottage shifts to match your mood — soft, cozy, and just a little enchanting.

And yes, Oreo, the family dog and honorary inspector, approves of every pillow, blanket, and treat.

Sleeping Spaces

• Dog dishes for food and water
• Poop bags
• Lint brushes

If your pup sleeps on the bed or furniture, especially if they shed heavily, please bring a blanket from home to help keep the cottage fresh for future guests.

Your cottage includes:
• Fresh linens and four pillows per room

Nearby beaches:
• Breakwater Beach (State Park) – 6 minutes
• Walnut Grove – peaceful and scenic, 20 minutes

Getting Around

Hi Chris, Thank you for staying with us! We truly appreciate your visit and always strive to provide a five-star experience for our guests. We wanted to kindly clarify our towel policy, which is noted in our FAQs and on our main listing page. For shorter stays like yours, we provide one towel per guest. For guests staying 7 nights or more, we offer two towels per guest as part of our extended stay amenities. Additionally, we do offer extra towels upon request for a $10 fee, which is also outlined during the booking process. We hope this helps clarify things, and we’d love to welcome you back in the future!

Girls trip

My two adult daughters and I spent the weekend to relax and have quality time together. The location was perfect as it was just a short walk to the strip and a short drive to the beach. We were able to visit several restaurants, hear bands and catch the sunset each night. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The bathroom was a little cramped but fine for only a two night stay. I would reserve it again in the future. Perfect if you want convenient access to everything on the strip.

About the host

Hosted by Celeste & Karen

Host profile image
**"Since 2015, we’ve proudly been a part of the Geneva community and have made countless memories camping at Willow Lake. After falling in love with the area, we decided to open KCD Cozy Cottages so others could experience the joy and serenity of Geneva too.

Each cottage holds a special theme that represents cherished memories for our family. Celeste’s Rustic Cottage celebrates her love for the outdoors and the fond memories of her childhood spent in nature. David’s cottage reflects his farm roots and his love for hunting—not as sport, but as a way to provide for his family. It’s a tradition he passed down to our daughter, Celeste, and together, they continue to create lasting memories. Karen’s cottage is inspired by the blue butterfly she saw the day her father passed away, symbolizing love, loss, and remembrance. And of course, Oreo Cottage is named after our beloved dog, who has been by our side through thick and thin, comforting us in the hardest times.

Our Grandmother Marge, once fearful of dogs due to childhood trauma, grew to love Oreo after staying with us—showing that even the deepest fears can be overcome with time, patience, and love.
We are excited to embark on this journey together and invite you to be a part of our story. We encourage you to capture as many moments as possible with your family and share them on our Facebook page—we’d love to see the memories you create here!

We hope you enjoy making as many wonderful memories as we have!"**
