About this property

Fishing, Wineries, Beaches- Oh My! Near the Historic Ashtabula Harbor.

Grill and fire pit in back yard!

Fishermen welcome! Can fit 2-3 fishing boats in the yard!

Wake up in the master to a view of beautiful Lake Erie, which is a short walk away.
The home is in direct line for the cool lake breeze, where you might enjoy an afternoon or evening sitting on the front porch swing.
If there are more than two people in your party during your stay, they can choose from a single bed in the purple room or a full bed in the blue room. All rooms have access to plenty of closet space and dresser drawers.

Our place:
Our beautiful, recently remodeled home, is so ready to welcome you!
The bathroom and bedrooms are on the second floor!

The stairs are steep, but have tree to help!

In the kitchen, there is a coffee pot and toaster. (If you need a gluten free toaster, there is one available, upon request).
There are dishes, silverware, cookware, pots and pans.
There is a safe for your valuables.

The Neighborhood:
Lake Shore Park is a quarter mile to the East. You can feed the ducks, play frisbee golf, or sit on a swing and enjoy the water. Walnut Beach is a mile and a half to the west. Conneaut township Park is located 12 miles to the east- on 60 acres, it offers something to do for everyone. From playgrounds to soccer fields and basketball courts.

Lunch might be at Crow's Nest - a family owned restaurant a block from our home, where the best wings (among other things) can be eaten.
A half mile West is Historic Bridge Street (2018 winner of "America's Main Street" contest, where, after shopping at the boutique stores or the art gallery, you can have a great cup of coffee at the Harbor Perk, a glass of fine wine at Fitzgerald's or Halcyon, and choose a meal from pizza, smoke bbq, steak or other amazing entrée.
Dessert can be ice cream at Cones or at Marianne's (But be sure to go to Marianne's early for her homemade chocolate!)
Harbor Laundry is a few miles away, if you need to wash clothes.

Getting around:
1,000 feet to Route 11, you are a hop, skip and a jump to the many covered bridges, wineries and events in Ashtabula County. We are 15 minutes from the Spire in Geneva. Also 15 minutes from Geneva-on- the-Lake, if you don't get stopped by the Bascule Bridge in the Harbor - then add 10 minutes.

Perfect stay

I really enjoyed our stay this weekend. It’s a nice area. Seems like it would be nice in summer as well. The house was very clean and some of the basic items that were available like water bottles, coffee, creamers, etc was an added bonus. We would love to come again!

Welcome Inn

Beautiful house and was exactly as listed online. Was very clean and comfortable to stay in. Its an older home with an unique staircase so if stairs are an issue I would use caution when booking. Overall a wonderful stay and certainly will go back on our future fishing trips.

Great weekend getaway

Great communication and nice weekend vacation spot. We had my adult son and daughter with their significant others. The one bathroom was challenging but we made it work. Some mirrors in the bedrooms would help immensely since that’s where most of us had to get ready. Only other minor thing was the soap dispenser in the bathroom was not pumping. Overall a great stay!

Love this house!

Great stay here in this house. Loved the area too. We come here for a big swim meet very year and we love staying in this town and going to the harbor perk every morning. Such an interesting area. The house was warm and inviting. It has everything you could possibly need. The property manager was very helpful and made sure we were comfortable and helped us with anything we needed. Great safe and clean place!

You can walk (not short) to a nearby lake shore park or beach (3? min drive) or drive 10 minutes to another one as well and be on the beach. Attractive space. STeps -- as advertised -- are steep. Lovely and helpful property owners.

Wonderful little place for a girls weekend.

I can’t speak any higher of the owners of this home. The communication was wonderful and they were so welcoming. The house was clean and so relaxing. They did everything they could to provide a great experience for their guests. The access to the vineyards was great. We are excited to come back in the future.

Clean and quiet

The overall stay was excellent. The house was clean and the owners were available if any problem should arise. Check in was easy and we were able to go in the house a little early which was nice since our drive there was a little quicker than planned. We also got to meet the owners son who lives next door and gave us some great information on nearby beaches. The only downside was geneva on the lake was a little further of a drive than we would have liked.

Perfect girls getaway!

Absolutely recommend booking! Gary & Linda are so kind. They welcomed 5 of us girls into their beautiful home this past weekend. We had an amazing time. Nice picnic table in the back yard, with a firepit. Adorable porch swing & rocking chair on the front porch. It is a very short drive to Walnut Beach Park. Beautiful scenic beach along the lake. We plan to make this a yearly trip for us! Nothing short of a great weekend.

A Beautiful Stay

This property was fantastic! From the time we checked in, we felt at home and comfortable. Gary and Linda also checked in to make sure we were doing well, which was immensely appreciated. The location of this property was ideal for our purposes since we have favorite shops and restaurants in the Historic Harbor - it was great having such a short drive. On the whole, we loved this property, the kindness of our hosts, and our time in Ashtabula. Though, I have to say, they aren't kidding about the stairs! 😂

Life at The Lake

Nicely updated older home with a big front porch for chilling out and relaxing after a trip to the lake that you can walk to if you're an exercise buff. Everything you need for a stay away from home is at your finger tips and the owner Gary checks in to make sure you have everything you need and that everything is to your satisfaction. The host with the most! This rental has become our new home away from home when visiting my hometown. Excellent quiet neighborhood with easy access to everything. Thank you Gary and Linda (and VRBO)! Great Place, Great Time, Great People and Best Lake of the Lakes!!!

Great location

Fabulous location! The house is impeccably clean, cute and well stocked. There are a few things to mention- The master bed was incredibly hard- we went and bought a blow up bed and slept on that instead- issue solved :) I have mobility issues so getting up and down the narrow stairs was very, very hard. I would think if you’re older or a larger person who can’t see their feet I think the steps will be an issue. I’m still giving the home 5 stars bc they mention the stairs in the listing so that’s our fault for not seeing it. Overall, the location is ideal and we spent little time in the home anyway. The owners are kind and responsive.

Lovely Weekend Getaway

This house is a lovely respite for a weekend or longer! Within a short driving distance to the downtown area, a beach, and a lakeside park. There are wineries close by as well as a suburban shopping area if you need to run to Walmart. The home has everything you can think of in terms of feeling at home! We cooked meals at the house in the well-equipped kitchen. The bathroom is updated and clean and beds are comfortable with clean linens and there are extra blankets and pillows. We watched a movie on the television in the living room, which we were able to connect to our streaming service. Books, puzzles, and board games are provided as well. I sat on the porch swing to enjoy my coffee in the morning and to listen to the rain in the evening. The house is big enough that everyone has their own space, but small enough to feel cozy. There is a restaurant called the Crow's Nest that has good food for a good price just about diagonal from the house. They have dining or take away. All in all, this was a very relaxing visit. Five Stars! I would stay here again, hopefully for a few extra days :)

Nice House in Ashtabula

The Welcome Inn was a very clean and nice 3 bedroom house located in Ashtabula. The house was exactly what the pictures and description said it was. The owners were great and the check in was very easy. My family was very happy with the house and would stay here again the next time we are in Ashtabula.

About the host

Hosted by Gary VanBuren

Host profile image
We love meeting people and a short term rental allows that to happen.
We made a decision when we began as hosts that we would provide an extremely clean place for people to stay. We want it to feel like home, so we try to think ahead to provide everything a guest will need.

Why they chose this property

Our town was settled in sections by nationality. Welcome Inn is in ‘SwedeTown’.
It is a several block area. We just love this part of town.
It is a block from Route 11, s and yet is a quiet neighborhood.
