Relaxing Stay with Great View

We had a very relaxing and wonderful stay. The view is breathtaking and the hot tub is great for a sunset. The house was very clean and has everything you need for a nice getaway to the lake. My wife and I came for a short stay to celebrate our 15 year anniversary. We would definitely stay again.

Exactly what we needed!

This house & property were spectacular! Cozy with a gorgeous view of the lake. We enjoyed sitting outside on the patio or by the fire. When it rained, we sat indoors with all the blinds open to enjoy the view!

Girls Get-Away

We enjoyed four nights of relaxing time together. We enjoyed the peaceful view from the hot tub each night. We planned to use the grill but due to the extreme heat (heat dome) we used the oven/stove top instead without any issue. The air conditioning units worked like champs and we stayed super comfortable. The bedrooms were comfortable and there were plenty of places to charge devices throughout the house. This was a perfect location (just 2 hours from home!) that afforded us time together. Thank you!

Perfect quiet spot but close to the stip

Wow! This is such a perfect property. The cliff edge curves in such a way that when looking out the window or sitting in your hot tub, you feel like you’re completely alone on the lake. Despite how quiet and private the location feels, you can still catch a ride down to the strip or have food delivered. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook and the rooms were impeccably clean. The couches were more comfortable than most rentals and made an evening playing board games quite enjoyable when the rain was coming down. We will definitely be staying here again! Well worth the price!

Serene Sunsets & Lovely Lake View

This well-maintained cottage on the Lake Erie shore has a spanning lake view and all the amenities for a relaxing “escape to the lake.” The cottage was spotless upon arrival and had everything my husband, college daughter & I needed for our 3-day stay. We strolled the GOTL strip, which was quiet since everything really opens up AFTER the first week of June, and enjoyed lazy afternoons sunning ourselves in the warm lake breeze. We enjoyed fire pit evenings & quiet morning coffee on the deck. The cottage has comfortable beds, plenty of towels (a rarity) and good water pressure in the shower. It’s obvious the owners/managers take good care of the property & prompt care of guests. Mike was responsive & friendly with our questions. Plan to return again!

Breathtaking views

The views from the house are amazing. Even though it’s windy right by the lake, sitting in the hot tub and watching the sunset is perfection. This house was the perfect size for our family of four. Our little ones (3 and 7) had a blast running around the spacious yard. We rented this house for a little peace and relaxation and it surpassed our expectations!

Girl's Getaway

This is a magnificent property! You are right on the lake so gorgeous views. If you like walking in the morning, go east. There are tons of views of the lake because they cannot build many homes due to the ravine. We were about 1 mile outside of Geneva on the Lake, on the east side. There was a shuttle taking us to and from town. We booked a winery tour through the Geneva State Park Lodge. Plus, the hot tub was a nice bonus. We would definitely come back to stay!

Nature filled getaway

My friend and I wanted a low-key, nature filled getaway by the lake and this was the perfect place to do it. The lakefront views are phenomenal! We built fires while overlooking the lake and also enjoyed the hot tub. The best part of our stay was the two bald eagles that perched right above us in the tree on the property. What a sight! We felt like we hung out with them all day and watched them hunt along the lake. We saw herons and ducks and seagulls galore! The sunset was remarkable and a perfect way to enter into the evening while lighting a nice fire. The convenient store down the road is so close and came in such great handy. We got plenty of snacks and firewood to keep us content while we stayed. The home was very clean and cozy, couldn’t ask for more. We look forward to coming back for another lake stay. Thank you so much for sharing and providing us with this treasure of an estate.
