    The Area:

    Welcome to Geneva-on-the-Lake, Ohio’s original lakeside getaway. Just steps from Lake Erie, this area puts you in the heart of the action along the iconic “Strip” — a lively stretch packed with arcades, diners, bars, and classic boardwalk fun. Enjoy burgers at Eddie’s Grill, play a round of mini-golf, or take in a sunset by the shore.



    Days here are laid-back and nostalgic, while summer nights bring live music and an energetic, festive vibe. Outdoor lovers will enjoy nearby Geneva State Park for hiking, boating, and beach access. And just a short drive away, city centre Geneva offers local wineries, breweries, and the popular Grape Jamboree each fall.



    Perfect for guests who want a mix of lakeside relaxation and casual fun, this is where summer memories are made.



    Getting Around:

    Less than a 10 minute walk to all the action on the "Strip". Catch a shuttle to the wineries right across the street at The Lodge.



    Other Things to Note:

    How to Use the Jacuzzi Tub:

    Please ensure the water level reaches the top of all jets before turning them on. To activate the jets, press the button located on the tub near the faucet and handles.

    Important: Do not overfill the tub.

The cottage was exactly as pictured - super cozy and perfect for a couple! There was only one quilt so we actually bought a comforter while we were out Saturday because we typically don’t sleep with the same blanket because we’re both blanket hogs. The host had an issue using Vernon to charge my card so I had to follow an external link to pay which I wasn’t a fan of but it worked out.Overall it was a good stay and we would book it again!
