🌅 Lakefront Cottage Retreat – Escape to the Lake, Geneva, OH

Unwind in Wine Country

Imagine starting your mornings with a steaming cup of coffee on the deck, gazing out over 180° views of Lake Erie as the sun rises. Spend your afternoons lounging in the sun, reading and watching boats drift by. Unwind in the evening with a glass of wine in your private hot tub, then cozy up by the fire pit with cocktails as you take in the most breathtaking Lake Erie sunsets. Drift off to sleep, only to wake and do it all again tomorrow - your perfect lakeside retreat awaits!

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.

A relaxing week by the water

The property looked the same in person as it did in the photos. Everything was clean and well stocked when we arrived. The property proved the relaxation that my guests and I needed. If we ever come back to Geneva-on-the-lake we will definitely try to reserve the Escape to the Lake.
