About this property

Lake Erie Beachfront Cottage Near Geneva State Park Lodge

Beautiful, small, lakefront cottage modestly decorated in nautical theme, overlooking the lake. This is a quiet family friendly cottage. The spectacular sunsets sold us on this home, and we enjoy the nearby area, too. Situated amongst other weekend get-away homes, this is a fabulous spot to relax on the deck overlooking the grassy hill leading down to the water and watch the waves rolling in, the Great Lakes ships passing by on the horizon.

This is also a lovely spot Ohio's beautiful Fall season. The area is filled with fall foliage, remarkably tasty wineries with farm to table restaurants, covered bridges, bike trails, and local festivals.

Geneva-on-the-Lake has a 1950's shopping strip-lined with amusement halls, putt-putt golf, waterslides, shops, and restaurants. We enjoy visiting Geneva State Park with its lodge, beach and marina, the wineries in the area, covered bridges, antique shops in Ashtabula Harbor, and incredible views as you drive along the lake. An hour to Erie, Pennsylvania, and an hour to downtown Cleveland, the area remains quiet, not overly built and commercialized.

You can enjoy a full meal cooked in the ample kitchen (with full-size refrigerator and gas oven, plenty of kitchenware); cable tv in the living room with fireplace (fold-out couch for one person sleeping) with a sliding glass door leading to the deck overlooking Lake Erie. There is an enclosed porch with a cute tiki bar.

The master bedroom features a king-size bed and dresser. The second bedroom features a trundle with a twin mattress bed on top, and a twin mattress below, dresser storage, and Roku TV. The garage is used for storage is not available to guests.

Newly installed air conditioning August 2022. There are also ceiling fans in most rooms that work nicely with the lake breeze coming in for those days the AC is not needed.
Free wireless and a landline for local calls only are included with your stay.

Swimming is available at Walnut Public beach about five minute drive from the cottage. There is also a nice beach, swimming, and picnic areas at the Geneva State Park. We do not have a dock, however, boating is available at local marinas and Geneva State Park. We do not permit swimming or fishing at the cottage property.

Perfect R&R Spot

This comfortable cottage sits atop a hill overlooking Lake Erie. We enjoyed absolutely beautiful sunsets, bald eagles flying by and the sounds of the waves while relaxing on the large deck. It was perfect place to unwind with many great wineries and restaurants close by. The property manager was accessible, friendly and very helpful. We look forward to coming back!

Perfect Getaway Spot

This was our second stay at this quaint little cottage on Lake Erie. It is so comfortable, clean, quiet and relaxing with beautiful views of the lake and sunsets. We love the proximity to the wineries in the area and have also enjoyed exploring several covered bridges. The property manager was available when needed and very hospitable. All in all, it’s the perfect place to unwind and we’ll be back!

Beautiful house and breathtaking views!

My sister and I stayed here for our third annual sister trip and it was simply gorgeous! You feel like your literally on top of the Lake. Sunsets were amazing and there’s a lot to do close by. We went and visited a bunch of waterfalls and covered bridges. The restaurant which is totally walkable called Allesandros a little Italian place was delicious! We would so come here again!!!

Girls weekend

The property was everything it was advertised to be! The air circulation in the bedrooms wasn’t that great even with open windows and ceiling fans (floor fans weren’t working well or at all) but even with the hot weekend it wasn’t unbearable. You can tell this home was a very much loved family home. The fire pit was great and the deck and view was breathtaking! You may limit your gorgeous view if the trees, brush and shrubbery below the deck gets taller though. We had wonderful and relaxing long weekend stay!

Cozy cottage

We absolutely loved our stay at the cottage and will definitely come back! Such a quaint cottage and amazing views. We loved how it's decorated with the beach theme. I would just recommend one thing to the owner, possibly have something so people can hang up their clothes. Maybe an armoire instead of the large dresser in the master? Or even just a coat rack with a few hangers would work. Other than that we loved it. I miss it already!!

Humiliating, with safety concerns. Never assume that a man who threatens to shoot you is harmless!

The house is in a grassy area with a few other houses. The instructions to find it were ambiguous, saying once we got through the chain we had to drive over the grass to get to the house. We got there after dark which was our mistake. We had a street number but none of the houses had a visible street number. So we drove to several houses on the grass as there are no roads. We tried to call, but no answer. If the instructions had simply said “first house on the left after you get past the chain”, or a sketch, or a few traffic cones as barriers, the problem would have been avoided. Finally we found the house as a neighbor came over yelling that we drove over his grass. He said we ruined it and he’d called the police and we’ll pay for (although there was no evidence that we had done any damage). So the police showed up and the manager (Connie). The policeman said the guy wanted our insurance information, which we refused to give. The next day Connie, my wife and I met the elderly man. He was obviously confused, mixing us up with someone who had run into his retaining wall 3 weeks ago. I believe he wanted to soak us for his retaining wall, which we had nothing to do with us.Then he said “you’re lucky the police came, or I would have come after you with a shotgun“.The owner dismissed the incident as “he’s just a harmless 90 year old man, I don’t want problems with my neighors" We were afraid. She told us to get out & cancelled our stay. The manager, Connie, though was supportive,

The home is clean, nice king size bed, trundle in small bedroom.and pull out love seat suitable for 1 adult or 2 small children. It would not be suitable for 2 adults. Adequate bedding and linen provided. Deck / patio is the best thing about this property! The view is wonderful and shaded by a big oak tree. Had a wonderful time. Close to Geneva strip. Home is stocked with essentials for cooking / clean up. Hand held shower could have better pressure , and slight inconvenience that the propertty has a private entrance blocked by a chain that has to be closed at all times. 1 parking spot in front of home and more parking close by.

This cottage suited our needs quite well. It was centrally located to the area we explored (Fairport Harbor, Geneva winery region, and Ashtabula). The deck on the back gave a great view of Lake Erie with wonderful sunsets! We enjoyed the firepit to add to the evenings. The cottage was clean and neat. The host responded quickly to any questions we had. Overall it was a great experience and we would recommend renting here.
