About this property

Alta Vista Lakefront Home: Walk to GOTL Strip, A\C, Priv. Beach, Sleeps 6-8-READ

Welcome to Alta Vista House! Beautiful 3 bed and 2 bath house in the middle of The Geneva on the Lake Strip on New Street. Historic Alta Vista (built 1906) shares the street with the historic Mary's Kitchen restaurant which is within walking distance from us and open for breakfast, lunch and dinner during the summer. The beautiful Firehouse Winery is in our backyard! Guests at Altavista also have private beach access, shared with members and guests of New Street.

All 3 bedrooms are upstairs, all have a full size beds, as well as air conditioner units in each room. One of the upper bedrooms has additional space for an air mattress (not Included). Altavista can accommodate 6 guests with beds, or 8 guests with 1-2 of those guests sleeping on the couch. If desired, guests can bring an air mattress to set up in one of the bedrooms. Fresh linens for beds and a bath towel provided for each guest. We ask that guests put all used linens/towels on beds when they leave so we may know what was used and then be replaced for the next guests. There is a Ring doorbell on the side door and a Blink camera facing the porch in order to observe porch during times when renters are not occupying the property.

Amenities include: A fully stocked kitchen, electric stove, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, dishes, cookware, glassware, silverware, charcoal grill, and outdoor porch with an outstanding lakefront view. We also include fans on the lower level and A/C in bedrooms and living room, picnic table, WiFi, a firestick for TV (logins for streaming services not provided), and private beach access. Please be courteous and do not litter on the beach!

As stated above, guests have private beach access on the street but there are many other attractions at GOTL and the Strip, which is walking distance from Altavista. Geneva has their own Golf Course, mini golf courses, playgrounds, various courts (basketball and tennis), various bars and restaurants, including famous Eddie's Grill and Mary's Kitchen, arcades, wineries, Geneva Lodge, the Geneva State Park (larger and public beach access), Covered Bridge tours, local parks, and many other attractions! Since there are so many attractions, we included a few brochures for our guests, but more can be found at the GOTL Visitors Center. Property is also about 15 minutes from SPIRE Academy and the freeway, perfect for a family getaway and quick to get to and from the Academy.

Parking (up to 3 cars) is in a driveway that is shared by our neighbor so please be courteous park as close to our right side as possible. Guests may utilize the backyard grass behind the house if need be. Check in is 4:00 pm and checkout is 11:00 am.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The perfect location!!! So close to everything but at the end of a peaceful street. Great views of the lake from the porch and a cute restaurant a few doors down for breakfast or lunch! We loved being able to park the car and walk everywhere we wanted to go!

It seemed very private but was super close to all of the action. We loved being able to walk everywhere and enjoyed our time sitting on the porch with a great view of the lake. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Lakefront House

The house and grounds were lovely, situated on Lake Erie. The pictures in the listing beautifully captured the charm of this cottage/house. We already booked for next year, can’t wait to go back!

Walk to everything!

We love the fact that you can park once and walk to everything on the strip. This property was once again very clean, cool (important with this humidity ) close to everything and all of our friends and family who also go to GOTL. Having access to our own beach is a wonderful bonus! Sunsets from your beach or the Firehouse Winery next door are INCREDIBLE!

A short walk to the heart of the GOTL strip!

Just two blocks from the main drag, and located at the end of the street on the bluff of Lake Erie, made this a quiet setting to relax and watch the sunrise and sunset when not enjoying the atmosphere of GOTL.
