About this property

Lakefront, awesome views, water access, center strip, private, parking.

Stay at Sunset Villa Geneva during your time in Geneva-on-the-Lake. It is a peaceful, private stay just steps away from the bustling life of the strip. Wake up and go to sleep listening to the lake. Dine at "home" to Lake Erie sounds and views. Watch sunsets and sunrises while enjoying your coffee and wine. With bedrooms sleeping ten, two full baths, and massive outdoor decks, it's the perfect place to spend a weekend or a week. It is the perfect place for family and friends to meet and gather. Our home is in the middle of it all, yet has total privacy.

The home is a classic mid-twentieth century cottage lake home. You'll walk into the kitchen, equipped with full size fridge, stove, microwave, and even a washer & dryer - everything you could need to enjoy a night or a week here. From the kitchen, you have access to the first floor full bath with shower. Off the bathroom, you'll find the air conditioned downstairs dormitory-style room with two bunkbeds [twin bed uppers and full futon bottoms], perfect for a kids sleepover or adults who don't mind sharing. Traveling the other way from the kitchen, you'll come to the dining room and continue into the living room, with a working gas fireplace and TV, all with lake views. Take a seat and relax on the barrel chairs to read a book or sip a glass of local wine. Play a game or sit at the raised bar table enjoy outdoor views regardless of weather.

Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms and a full bath. Each bedroom is individually air conditioned for personal comfort and taste. Unlike many rentals, our rooms are large enough to walk around the beds! In 2023 we plan on updating and replacing the tub with a large walk-in two person shower. Two bed rooms feature queen beds and ample storage for guests. The master bedroom is equipped with a king sized bed [joined twins with a luxury king toper], a walk-in closet, and a private deck looking out over Lake Erie for drinking that early morning coffee or relaxing with a glass of wine. From every bedroom, you can open your windows and sleep to the sounds of Lake Erie.

Out back, enjoy both sunset and sunrise from your private deck or wander down the stairs to the lake shore, all within the property. It doesn't get any better. At the lake front you'll find a property wide concrete deck and steps into the water. You'll find gas and charcoal grills, tables, lounge and rocking chairs, all available to enjoy a relaxing day hanging out. Even a fire pit to relax in the evening at the lake.

You won't need to worry about parking - the house comes with four parking spots.
When you are ready to head to the strip, you don't have to wander far, you are there! At the end of Doctor's drive, you'll find yourself smack in the center of town, with options for food, entertainment, and fun just steps away. Two parks for the kids within walking distance. A short drive away, you'll find wineries and Geneva State Park.

Needs work could be beautiful

Great location but house needs work. The yard is overgrown. The lawn furniture needs to be power washed. It was a little warm upstairs. Needs better ventilation. And you can hear people talking through bathroom vent from family room. The view is great and right on strip. Owner is polite and attentive. The house has potential to be amazing.

WONDERFUL home for our family!

After 35 years of staying at a different location that was bought out, we decided to start looking this year for a new place for our annual family vacation. This was our first year searching and after only 24 hours, we knew it was the place for us! It was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Our previous place had limited amenities and we were overjoyed to see we were provided with everything we needed besides our clothing and toiletries (and groceries). There are ample amounts of fans, window AC units, towels and linens, extra chairs, folding tables, games, plates and utensils and cooking items. 3 days in we experienced a terrible storm and power was knocked out for a few days and Terry was absolutely wonderful with making sure we were taken care of! He drove in early from out of town to give us flash lights, phone back up chargers, and even a generator to help keep our refrigerator going. He often checked in on us and addressed any of our questions or concerns incredibly quick! The best part of the house is the back yard area! The private yard and deck was the best place to have a bon fire, drink coffee by the lake, and lay out and swim! The house is very well taken care of and we already are excited to spend many more annual family vacations at the Sunset Villa!

Perfect gotl cottage

Stayed last week. Terry was very nice. This is my 47th summer at GOTL and our first time not at our usual spot since it is closed this year. But, If we are able to, we will rebook this cottage every year. Right on the water, big enough space for friends to drop by and sit by the water. Clean, well stocked with starter supplies and everything you need in the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. Fit 4 cars easily. Fire pit was great. Ac’s worked well. Could not hear any noise from the strip at the cottage, even though just four houses from the street. Highly recommend and hope to see you again next year Terry. Definitely a great place to stay!

Well, you can see the lake…

Here’s the positive, you can see the lake and it does have its own parking spots. Now the negative, mildew on the decking, mildew in the window tracks, skunks living under the house, mildew in showers, dirty toilets, soiled bed linens and house in need of many, many repairs. For example there’s a hole in the living room floor covered with styrofoam and a random piece of granite, leads to ?. Also, it rained during our stay, house leaked in two places. Contacted Vrbo customer service and host about an hour after reviewing the property. CS did nothing, the host made offer of half my fee returned to me WITH the contingency that he rerent the house for the time we were scheduled to stay. I didn’t feel I should lose half of my money just for walking in and still have no place to stay. We elected to stay, only to depart a day early due to the leaking. I’m sure the host may dispute my account of the situation in his rebuttal to this review. But I do have pictures to back up what we saw and there were 6 of us and we all had the same opinion of the situation. So this wasn’t just one person’s reaction/opinion.

Wonderful Location!

The house comes as advertised with plenty of room for larger parties. Great views of the lake from the back deck with access to the lake front! Perhaps the best feature of this rental is the location. You can walk the entire strip from this location which is great when taking in the nightlife GOTL has to offer. The owner was available at all times and made a point to check in and see how we were doing during our stay. You cannot go wrong with this choice!

GOTL

The house was pretty clean but infested with spiders. This was a big concern as at least 3 people are terrified of spiders. The back deck, upper deck and steps were dirty and needed power washed. The overgrowth on and around the back yard needs tended to. There is trash laying between the houses that needs removed.

Excellent large home perfect views of lake

House had everything my family needed and lake views were awesome all day every day! Extra parking was a bonus as well as the large kitchen, big showers on both floors and the location is really perfect for many reasons. We have avoided renting on the strip in the past but you don't even realize the crowds and traffic when at this rental. There aren't too many large homes on the lake that allow even small dogs like ours. Plus the house is super open but charming and spacious. The property has so much character, one of a kind. One slight concern... I didn't see a way to lock the sliding door to the patio? Maybe I didn't look close enough so if I'm wrong I apologize. I really only checked one night so bviously not an issue since I even forgot to ask my family members about the door lock lol. It was just something I noticed but like I said there could be a lock and I just didn't see it. But this was not a problem for us! We spent most of our time on the deck and patio area and all felt very safe and super private. The owner was very accommodating... all the way from booking to checkout. Without hesitation we would definitely stay again!

Not up to standard

First of all, GOTL is an old, lake cottage area - so the review is based on the fact that this owner charged a fee that is more commensurate with higher end lake properties, not ones like this. It was overpriced for what we got. Old, shabby, really not the cleanest property. These property owners all have cameras outside their property and the one across the way points into the downstairs bathroom. Buyer beware.

Beautiful location but house could use some work

Beautiful view of the lake, homeowner was easy to communicate with. Unfortunately, this house needs a facelift. It looks rundown and could use a lot of work. Rained one night and there was water coming out of the ceiling in multiple places (which they knew about as they had put a piece of plywood up on the ceiling). King bed is actually two twin mattresses so you couldn’t sleep in the middle. Overall, we would not rent this house again.

About the host

Hosted by Terry Wolk

Host profile image
We've had a lake house in Geneva-on-the-Lake, Ohio for 20 years and have loved being able to escape out here for weekends throughout the year. We are a family of four and have watched our girls grow up here, spending afternoons playing arcade games or drinking lemonades on the strip.

Why they chose this property

This house is perfectly located. It's in the center of town but just off the main street enough to not hear it. The decks are probably my favorite part - for every meal or just reading a book.
