Geneva-on-the-Lake in Ashtabula County, Ohio, is an old-fashioned lakefront getaway offering something for everyone, and The Colonial is in an ideal location for walking and easy driving to attractions on the famous entertainment Strip and north shore.

• Restaurants, nightclubs, amusement rides, live entertainment, arts, unique shopping, and arcades provide entertainment for everyone in your group, including the Tuesday concerts in Township Park.
• Play a round of golf at one of Geneva’s in-town or area golf courses. For family fun try one of the many miniature golf courses.
• Explore more than 20 Northeast Ohio wineries just minutes from The Colonial. The Ashtabula and Lake County grape-growing regions produce most of Ohio’s wine grapes, giving our area the reputation as the state's finest. And don’t forget about our famous covered bridges.
• Arriving by boat? Dock within the safety of the harbor at nearby Geneva State Park. And Lake Erie itself has so much to offer: Book a sunset cruise or a fishing charter. Swim at the State Park or stroll along the beach, then take a ride on the Ferris wheel. There are several restaurants and wineries right on the lake, and our spectacular sunsets offer the perfect subject for photo enthusiasts.

The Colonial: A Geneva Gem.

We stay here every year. This year, my 91-year old mother joined us along with her 5-year old great grandson, her grandson and me. Four generations! The Colonial helped her turn back the hands of time. So relaxing sitting on the huge comfortably furnished porch, watching the activity on The Strip. If you don't enjoy staying at the beautiful Colonial, check your pulse. Already looking forward to staying at The Colonial in 2026. So is Mom.

50th winery weekend

House was great. Lots of room. Was perfect for adults, not too many bunk beds or single beds, that adults do not want to sleep in. Close to strip and easy drive to most of the wineries. Perfect for large group we had 11 adults and still had extra rooms. Has everything you could need!

Fall fun

Perfect fall get away. Enjoyed the strip, shopping, good food, and sitting around the fire pit with friends and dressing up in Halloween costumes and going to see the bands at the clubs. House was in a perfect location at the center of town. We did some cooking and there were plenty of pots, pans, utensils available. Would rent again.
