Amazing Weekend Getaway!

Guest: Katelyn (Pittsburgh, PA)
Date of Stay: 03/09/12 Review Submitted: 03/12/12

This house was the perfect house for a weekend getaway. The house was extremely clean, spacious, and equipped with everything we needed. The owners are very gracious and a pleasure to deal with. They provided a detailed list of the ammenities, which was very accurate. The photos accurately represent the property, and the views are even more spectacular in person! The location of the house is also ideal with "the strip" just a few steps away and close proximity to the wineries of the region. I would highly recommend this rental!

Hi Wayne and Ellie, Sorry it's taken so long to do the review. It's been crazy since we've been back.We had such a wonderful time staying at your place on our honeymoon and can't thank you enough for your hospitality. Our stay couldn't have been more perfect - the house is spotless, warm and welcoming, not to mention the location - an amazing spot overlooking Lake Erie. We are so thrilled that we chose to spend our honeymoon at your beach house. We are planning on returning in June and bringing some family with us to experience the people, the sites and history of Lake Erie. See you in June!!!

Owner response:Bill and Julie, So glad you chose our beach house for your honeymoon. We couldn't have picked a better night for a cruise too. Thank you for the nice review. Looking forward to next summer already. 11 ft. waves today! Ellie and Wayne

Excellent place! I stayed for the weekend with my fiance and some of her family and it was really therapeutic listening to the lake at night. It was a very comfortable place, also very clean and accommodating. I would recommend this place to be the number one choice when looking for a place to stay. Also leaves you in walking distance to everything.

Owner response:Thanks Mike, It's our goal that everyone has such a good time when they come to the Lake. Hope we can have you back in the future. Thanks for your thurough clean-up upon departure. Ellie and Wayne

This place was perfect for our girl's winter weekend getaway. The house is gorgeous - and spotless! We loved all the little touches that added to the seaside motif and the view is fantastic. Even though there's less to do in the area in winter, you really never want to leave the house anyway. We also appreciated the recommendation of Alessandro's for dinner. Awesome Italian food. Thanks for a great weekend!

Owner response:Thank you for the nice review. It was great to meet you all and we are glad you enjoyed your get together at the Lake.

This was our first stay, but most likely won't be our last. We had a wonderful view of the lake, the best I have EVER had, and we have stayed here all summer since the year I was born. Close to everything if it were in-season, but so peaceful off-season too!. The house had everything we needed and it made our weekend stay so easy. I had my two daughters with me (five and three years old), so the house is very kid-friendly! If you come in the summer be sure to eat at Eddie's Grill and try the Pink Catawba at the Firehouse Winery! Thank you Wayne and Ellie for sharing your house with us. Look for us to be in touch come Spring time!

Beautiful lake house

Guest: Tammie (Garfield Heights)
Date of Stay: 10/07/10 Review Submitted: 10/15/10

What a wonderful week we had at what we refer to now as "the lake house". It had everything we needed to make us as comfortable as being at home. Every evening had the most amazing sunsets too!! We did festivals, covered bridges, Amish country, wineries...so much to do there. We can't wait to come back for another week in paradise. Thank you so much again Wayne and Ellie for sharing your lovely home.

Owner response:Thank you Tammie for staying at our beach house. More and more people are discovering our corner of Ohio in the off-season. Fall, winter and spring are quieter times to visit Geneva-on-the-Lake. Every season brings a new view of the lake, a new angle on the sunset. The only thing that doesn't change is the chance for us to meet friendly people like you. Thanks again, Ellie and Wayne

Great A Frame with Great Views!

Thanks to Wayne and Ellie for their hospitality and sharing their home on Lake Erie, The Northern Coast! Close to most everything- their home is clean and comfortable for a weekend or the week. The wineries, lighthouses and covered bridges will make for fun adventure before relaxing at night on the water. We are officially offering the Lomas an annual trade of their water home on the lake for one weekend for one weekend at our camp on the Ohio River. We will run back up to the lake and watch the freighters and fishing boats go by. They can run down to the river and watch the barges go by! We will definately be back to their home regardless of if they accept our offer! The area is beautiful and their home is the nicest place in the area to stay!

Beach House

Guest: Wendy & And K (Port Washington Ohio)
Date of Stay: 07/24/10 Review Submitted: 08/01/10

We rented this rental for a week in July. This is by far the nicest place we have ever stayed at Geneva on the Lake (we have vacationed there for 30+ years). The house is lovingly and thoughtfully decorated and it was spotless. The owners definitly made this "a home away from home." We loved it and reserved for next year already.

Owner response:Wendy, Thanks for the nice review. Great people like you and your family are always welcome back at our place. See you next year. Wayne and Ellie.

Thanks so much, Wayne, for allowing us to stay in your comfortable home. The kids loved the beach and the deck, and we really enjoyed being in close walking distance to the arcades and restaurants. The place was very clean, and everything was very accessible. We'll be back!

Owner response:Thanks Rebecca, we enjoy meeting families like yours. Our house is now available year round and offers the same spectacular views in the Fall, Winter, and Spring. Thank you for leaving our place in great shape! Wayne and Ellie
