About this property
Lakefront, awesome views, water access, center strip, private, parking.
Stay at Sunset Villa Geneva during your time in Geneva-on-the-Lake. It is a peaceful, private stay just steps away from the bustling life of the strip. Wake up and go to sleep listening to the lake. Dine at "home" to Lake Erie sounds and views. Watch sunsets and sunrises while enjoying your coffee and wine. With bedrooms sleeping ten, two full baths, and massive outdoor decks, it's the perfect place to spend a weekend or a week. It is the perfect place for family and friends to meet and gather. Our home is in the middle of it all, yet has total privacy.
The home is a classic mid-twentieth century cottage lake home. You'll walk into the kitchen, equipped with full size fridge, stove, microwave, and even a washer & dryer - everything you could need to enjoy a night or a week here. From the kitchen, you have access to the first floor full bath with shower. Off the bathroom, you'll find the air conditioned downstairs dormitory-style room with two bunkbeds [twin bed uppers and full futon bottoms], perfect for a kids sleepover or adults who don't mind sharing. Traveling the other way from the kitchen, you'll come to the dining room and continue into the living room, with a working gas fireplace and TV, all with lake views. Take a seat and relax on the barrel chairs to read a book or sip a glass of local wine. Play a game or sit at the raised bar table enjoy outdoor views regardless of weather.
Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms and a full bath. Each bedroom is individually air conditioned for personal comfort and taste. Unlike many rentals, our rooms are large enough to walk around the beds! In 2023 we plan on updating and replacing the tub with a large walk-in two person shower. Two bed rooms feature queen beds and ample storage for guests. The master bedroom is equipped with a king sized bed [joined twins with a luxury king toper], a walk-in closet, and a private deck looking out over Lake Erie for drinking that early morning coffee or relaxing with a glass of wine. From every bedroom, you can open your windows and sleep to the sounds of Lake Erie.
Out back, enjoy both sunset and sunrise from your private deck or wander down the stairs to the lake shore, all within the property. It doesn't get any better. At the lake front you'll find a property wide concrete deck and steps into the water. You'll find gas and charcoal grills, tables, lounge and rocking chairs, all available to enjoy a relaxing day hanging out. Even a fire pit to relax in the evening at the lake.
You won't need to worry about parking - the house comes with four parking spots. When you are ready to head to the strip, you don't have to wander far, you are there! At the end of Doctor's drive, you'll find yourself smack in the center of town, with options for food, entertainment, and fun just steps away. Two parks for the kids within walking distance. A short drive away, you'll find wineries and Geneva State Park.

Great location and outdoor waterfront area. Inside is good, could use some updating but all very usable. Fridge was large and newer than pics which was nice.
We went on a friend's trip and this place worked really well for us! It had all the amenities we needed to make meals and enjoy our time. We loved all the outdoor seating! The views were beautiful! Would definitely return.

Sounds like they had had a FIVE star experience yet only a four star review. We don’t understand????
The host was great. Very quick to reply and even did us a favor and let us in a few hours early since we were already in town! I couldn’t get enough of the views from the main bedroom to the 3 levels of decks! Parking for 4 cars and center strip. The only complaint is that it’s dated, but it didn’t bother us! We had a fire and had a great night stay!
Cottage was big and roomy, and the lake views do not disappoint… It is an older cottage, so some of the reviews regarding needing TLC aren’t wrong, however it had all the amenities you may need. Host was very responsive.. We would stay there again… You can’t beat those views and the location!
The views of the lake from the deck were beautiful. The living areas were spacious. The host was very friendly and readily available to address any issues. We would definitely stay there again.
We had a group of 8, and the best time! Terry is a great host. The property has amazing views, super cozy, great location to downtown. We look forward to booking again in the future!
The house was exactly like the pictures, very spacious. The deck out back is phenomenal for watching the water. Owner was very communicative. I’d stay again!
Our stay is always a pleasure. Location is great plenty of room decks, leading down to the water. Just a short walk to all the activities Terry our host was great anything you need he’s always there. We spent the last two years there in planning on a third this year.
The house comes as advertised with plenty of room for larger parties. Great views of the lake from the back deck with access to the lake front! Perhaps the best feature of this rental is the location. You can walk the entire strip from this location which is great when taking in the nightlife GOTL has to offer. The owner was available at all times and made a point to check in and see how we were doing during our stay. You cannot go wrong with this choice!
The location of this house on the strip makes it convenient to walk the strip. The back yard and deck overlooking the lake made for a great place for the family to gather. As other reviews have mentioned, the outside of the house could use a pressure washing to remove spiderwebs. The back garden is overgrown, and could use some attention. The deck is weathered. The burners on the electric stove didn’t fit correctly due to the burner pans being the wrong size. Also, there was almost no available cupboard space since all the cupboards were full. The cottage is older, and has a lot of character. I hope some improvements are planned.
Fantastic Location…Walk to Town and Private Water Access!
Spent this past weekend at Geneva with a large group of friends and have nothing but great feedback to share. Terry couldn’t have more kind and his communication from the time we booked to after check out has been amazing. Answered tons of questions prior to arrival and was gracious enough to allow us early check in and later check out. The home was very clean and plenty of room to hang out comfortably inside. Although it’s an older home, it was clean, quaint, and best location. Walking distance to everything! And personal access to the water to catch the sunset and sit and relax. We missed the sunrise due to rain, but again the inside was plenty big for our large group of friends to relax inside as well. Thanks Terry for being such a great host. 5 stars for Terry and his place all the way!

Needs work could be beautiful
Great location but house needs work. The yard is overgrown. The lawn furniture needs to be power washed. It was a little warm upstairs. Needs better ventilation. And you can hear people talking through bathroom vent from family room. The view is great and right on strip. Owner is polite and attentive. The house has potential to be amazing.

Thank you for the feedback. As far as upstairs ventilation, each bedroom has an air conditioner in one of the two windows, as well as a fan. Yard furniture is regularly washed and will be checked.
Stayed last week. Terry was very nice. This is my 47th summer at GOTL and our first time not at our usual spot since it is closed this year. But, If we are able to, we will rebook this cottage every year. Right on the water, big enough space for friends to drop by and sit by the water. Clean, well stocked with starter supplies and everything you need in the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. Fit 4 cars easily. Fire pit was great. Ac’s worked well. Could not hear any noise from the strip at the cottage, even though just four houses from the street. Highly recommend and hope to see you again next year Terry. Definitely a great place to stay!
The house was pretty clean but infested with spiders. This was a big concern as at least 3 people are terrified of spiders. The back deck, upper deck and steps were dirty and needed power washed. The overgrowth on and around the back yard needs tended to. There is trash laying between the houses that needs removed.

Not quite sure how to respond to Karen. While there we never heard from her. The house was cleaned hours before she arrived and swept for spiders (the reality of being on the lake is spiders?. Between the houses is fenced off and not part of the guest property. There are trash receptacles there.
Beautiful view of the lake, homeowner was easy to communicate with. Unfortunately, this house needs a facelift. It looks rundown and could use a lot of work. Rained one night and there was water coming out of the ceiling in multiple places (which they knew about as they had put a piece of plywood up on the ceiling). King bed is actually two twin mattresses so you couldn’t sleep in the middle. Overall, we would not rent this house again.

We were aware of the leak and put a temporary board to direct any water to the outside wall while waiting for a new roof (as soon as possible between the roofer schedule and guests. A new roof and ceiling will be done shortly. The alternative would have been cancelling guests which would have caused them inconvenience.)
The posting says “King is two separable twins”. I am not sure what more the guest would have liked us to say.

Not up to standard
First of all, GOTL is an old, lake cottage area - so the review is based on the fact that this owner charged a fee that is more commensurate with higher end lake properties, not ones like this. It was overpriced for what we got. Old, shabby, really not the cleanest property. These property owners all have cameras outside their property and the one across the way points into the downstairs bathroom. Buyer beware.

Cameras: Our house has a camera facing the parking and one looking at the lake. Our guests are informed. The camera Patrick is talking about is the neighbors facing the parking and is a recent addition. We were unaware of it until this week, have no control of it, but will be informing our guests and adding additional window coverings.
Rate: Patrick paid a nightly rate of $330 for three couples for a four bedroom lakefront property in a prime location in the middle of the GOTL strip; that equates to $110 per couple per night. We do not understand what properties Patrick is referring to when he writes “commensurate with higher end lake properties” in what he refers to as “an old, lake cottage area”! Our rate reflects the house, the house location, and the market. It is a prime location 20th century lakefront cottage, nothing more, nothing less!
Perfect Location
Amazing sunsets from well landscaped backyard and multi-level decks with plenty of seating. We have some great photos and lasting memories. Walking distance to strip with parks and wineries nearby.
Family Friendly
Our group, ages 15 - 75, plenty of space for all. We celebrated a 17th birthday along with a college graduation! And once Gigi discovered Alexa, the entire house was jammin' to the tunes! Hope the neighbors didn't complain. Lol!
Hospitality
Clean, comfortable, easy access. Lower level has spacious & open floor plan. Extra tables and chairs for crafts or puzzles. Plenty of towels and linens. Washer & dryer, iron too! 😃
Terry is a wonderful host, kind & friendly! We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we enjoyed ours.
With a smile,

After 35 years of staying at a different location that was bought out, we decided to start looking this year for a new place for our annual family vacation. This was our first year searching and after only 24 hours, we knew it was the place for us! It was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Our previous place had limited amenities and we were overjoyed to see we were provided with everything we needed besides our clothing and toiletries (and groceries). There are ample amounts of fans, window AC units, towels and linens, extra chairs, folding tables, games, plates and utensils and cooking items.
3 days in we experienced a terrible storm and power was knocked out for a few days and Terry was absolutely wonderful with making sure we were taken care of! He drove in early from out of town to give us flash lights, phone back up chargers, and even a generator to help keep our refrigerator going. He often checked in on us and addressed any of our questions or concerns incredibly quick!
The best part of the house is the back yard area! The private yard and deck was the best place to have a bon fire, drink coffee by the lake, and lay out and swim! The house is very well taken care of and we already are excited to spend many more annual family vacations at the Sunset Villa!

About the host
Hosted by Terry Wolk
We've had a lake house in Geneva-on-the-Lake, Ohio for 20 years and have loved being able to escape out here for weekends throughout the year. We are a family of four and have watched our girls grow up here, spending afternoons playing arcade games or drinking lemonades on the strip.
Why they chose this property
This house is perfectly located. It's in the center of town but just off the main street enough to not hear it. The decks are probably my favorite part - for every meal or just reading a book.
