James’ place was great! We stayed for a girls weekend in Geneva and was perfect for the 5 of us! Great location for us to walk too and from. James was so helpful to us when we needed assistance late at night. We have already talked about our next stay in Geneva! Thank you again James!

The Lakehouse

Bruce And MarieRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We cannot say enough about this house! Beautiful and comfortable.. with every possible amenity we could want. Very thoughtful planning went in to this place. The lake was beautiful and the area was so quiet. We wish we could take the place with us on our next stop. One of the best places we have stayed and will really make the bar high for any other place we will stay. Definitely recommend this wonderful home!

House was clean and cozy. The backyard was beautiful with nice grassy area for dog. I stayed M-Th so the bar next door was not busy or noisy. Internet is fast. I had to work a couple days with no issues. Friendly people and good food for small town. Had oysters from Noosa Bistro and coffee from Julbeans. Walked to the Fairport Harbor Lakefront Park everyday. Walked my dog to Veterans Memorial Park. Visited Headland Dunes State Nature Preserve.

lake house 2

BonnieRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Wendy's Lakehouse was exactly what my husband and I needed for our mini-retreat after our daughter's wedding. We were mentally, physically, and emotionally exhausted when we arrived; but after a couple of days of complete quiet and privacy in the house, walking and laying on the private beach, listening to the water, watching the sunsets, and basking in the fresh Lake Erie breezes: we felt restored and refreshed. The only thing that disappointed us was that we couldn't stay longer... life rolls on! 😅 Within hours of our arrival we were making plans to return- next time with our 4 sons- as soon as possible! We even were dreaming about bringing future grandkids in years to come! 🥰 Thank you, Wendy, for providing this peaceful retreat!

An Excellent Stay! This is a dog lovers dream. The home is so cute and it was so easy to find the things we needed in e wry way! The home is up the hill from the lake, down the road from Geneva On The Lake. Surrounded by great golfing, and covered bridges! We loved hiking The Greenway every other day and the backyard was so much fun for our beagle. Lastly, the strawberries in the backyard made breakfast DELICIOUS!

Your guide to Geneva-on-the-Lake

Introduction

Given Geneva-on-the-Lake’s long-standing reputation as a family-friendly getaway, it’s no surprise to learn that the town was more or less established thanks to the installation of a carousel. This was back in the 1870s, shortly after a plot of land at modern-day Mapleton Beach on Lake Erie was cleared for recreation and opened as a public picnic spot with beach access. Once the horse-powered carousel was put in, a few years later, it was official: Geneva-on-the-Lake was established as Ohio’s first summer resort — a proud claim that has remained on the town’s welcome sign ever since. The original carousel still stands (it’s now a half-mile west), as do many of the charming lake cottages that were built to accommodate pleasure-seekers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Though Geneva-on-the-Lake has sprouted hotels, spas, restaurants, wineries, and golf courses in the ensuing years, it’s still very much the same friendly, small-town resort it has always been.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Geneva-on-the-Lake

Geneva-on-the-Lake is perched on the southern shore of Lake Erie, where the so-called lake effect rules the weather forecast. Summer is true to the calendar: It lasts from June through September with warm, humid, and partly cloudy days stretching into the 80-degree Fahrenheit range. Winters are freezing (or just below), generally overcast, and often quite windy, given the city’s proximity to the Great Lakes, so a heavy winter coat is recommended. Spring and fall temperatures can vary drastically. Snow can fall as late as May or as early as October, and balmy days might pop up in March or as late as November. If you’re staying in one of the area’s vacation rentals during the shoulder seasons, pack layers just in case.


Top things to do in Geneva-on-the-Lake

Geneva State Park

Spanning nearly 700 acres just west of Geneva-on-the-Lake, Geneva State Park encompasses a large sandy beach on Lake Erie, as well as freshwater marshes, creeks, and hiking and biking trails along the lake. Fishing and boating are incredibly popular here, as are the inland campgrounds.

The Strip

Cruising through Geneva-on-the-Lake along State Route 531 feels like stepping back in time. Arcades, hot dog stands, and lively pubs line the mile-long road known affectionately as the Strip, where mom-and-pop retail shops and neighborhood eateries welcome both visitors and regulars. Big crowds descend on this stretch the weekend after Labor Day, when the Thunder on the Strip festival draws thousands of motorcyclists from all over the country.

Ashtabula County Covered Bridges

True to Midwestern architectural tradition, 19 beautiful covered bridges can be found scattered throughout Ashtabula County, six of which date to the 1860s. The closest to Geneva-on-the-Lake is the Liberty Street Bridge, which is the shortest covered bridge in the country: It carries cars just 18 feet across Cowles Creek.
