About this house rental
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.

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!

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.

Always a pleasant stay up there! Great place to relax and the view is wonderful.

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!

The house was exactly like the pictures, very spacious. The deck out back is phenomenal for watching the water. Owner was very communicative. I’d stay again!

Beautiful backyard views with quick access to the GOTL strip. Cottage was quaint and met our needs reconnecting with family.

Our stay is always a pleasure. Location is great plenty of room decks, leading down to the water. Just a short walk to all the activities Terry our host was great anything you need he’s always there. We spent the last two years there in planning on a third this year.

I recently stayed there with family and the place was great. Great views and access to the strip. Highly recommend staying at this location.

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.

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!

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.

Nice location easy access to the strip everything is in walking distance. We had 8 adults and a 17 year old plenty of room for everyone.

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.

Great, house could have had a few less cobwebs, to make the stay feel more comfortable.

This house is in a great location. You can walk to everything on the strip. Beautiful lake view from the back yard.
Will defiantly stay here again.

Wonderful Vacation
We had an excellent time here and Terry was a great and responsive host. The decks and access to the water are amazing—we saw bald eagles every day!
The house is a perfect combination of rustic cottage (I’ve been coming to GOTL since the ‘70’s and there are parts of the house that remind of those from the past) and modern convenience—Wi-Fi, washer/dryer, dishwasher, etc. Very comfortable for our group of 7-10 adults to spread out around the property, yet very cozy, too.
We had the best time!
Thanks again, Terry!

This house was beyond perfect. Great location on the strip with water views. Owner was the sweetest and was more than accommodating.

Communication with the owner, Terry, was excellent. Helped with questions before and after our arrival. Everything in the house was in working order and worked out well. The back yard is quite private with foliage covering between neighbors and stairs leading to the lakeshore. It was a great, relaxing stay.

This home was exactly as pictured. It felt like a cute, older, beach house. Very quaint!
The view was amazing! We spent so much time in the backyard, morning yoga on the concrete pad, fire at night, so relaxing!
The sunsets were AMAZING!

Our visit was in November so the weather was a little of everything. Great location. On the lake and on the strip. As far as check in process. The owner planned to meet us at the hose to check in instead of just sending a key box code the day of arrival. We arrived after 4 so he left without messaging me. So we sat outside of the house for 25 minutes waiting for a response to messages because we couldn’t get in. Two of the girls arrived before me so they waited longer. Water came down the chimney so the gas fireplace went out and I couldn’t relight it. I did make the owner aware of the issue. The owner was very friendly. He did stop in on day two to see if everything was ok with the rental.

Before my mother passed away, she asked me, as her middle daughter of five girls, to please keep our family together in spite of the fact that our ages span 15 years and we in live three different states. We met once on a sister get-away, three years ago before Covid hit. Then, it wasn’t really a possibility with the state restrictions and/or distances needed for travel.
This was the perfect place for us to gather! There was plenty of room for sleeping, personal space, and also shared spaces. The card table with chairs was perfect for the games and puzzles provided for our inside time. We enjoyed the covered bridges, walking on nearby beaches and in the parks, and the music provided at the wineries for our outside/away times. We now realize that much of the area closes down for the “season” in October. It made it just a little more challenging to find opened restaurants for dinner. It was an adventure!
All in all… we had a terrific “sister time” together. Would we go back another year? You bet! I imagine our mother was smiling as we full-filled her wish once more! Thanks for providing a place for us to reconnect.

The lake house was cozy and comfortable, and the view over the water was sublime. Walking distance to everything and large enough for a group of 7 to easily relax. Would definitely recommend!
