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.

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.

If your looking for the perfect view

This cottage brings it all , you get comfy surroundings and the greatest view you can imagine. The sound of waves coming in, the beautiful birds and playful squirrels in the big tree. It was like a full entertainment of nature happening around you. Relaxation is what to take away when you return home. Thank you for the treat and big thanks to Connie for helping with making the stay perfect

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.

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!

For those who truly want to enjoy the peace of the lake scenery. A lovely quaint cabin - slow down and enjoy!! Watch for bald eagles (note immature eagles don’t have white heads!) and monarchs fluttering past from the expansive deck. Explore Ashtabula and wonderful nature trails!

Overall great trip!!

Other than the midges which swarmed us the first 2 days of our trip because apparently the first 2 weeks of June these little flying bugs are insane and show up in massive swarms so we weren’t able to utilize the outdoor area for the first half of our trip. A few of the neighbors told us this when we’re able to use the outdoor area the last 2 days of our trip. The AC quit working due to needing batteries however Connie was fast and efficient in getting over to replace the batteries and get the AC back on. Overall everything about the cottage was quaint, comfortable and clean with a lake vibe feel.
