Highland Lodge is immaculately clean, well stocked, and accommodating and appealing to all ages. Jim and Maggie are very attentive and communicated on a regular basis before, during and after our visit! There is a lot of attention to detail throughout their home. Very comfortable, highly recommended.

This property was an absolute dream. Having a large family vacation here was great. There were plenty of beds and bedrooms for everyone to be comfortable. If there were any issues, the owner was quick to reply and offer assistance. The house was fully stocked with everything that we needed. I truly was beyond impressed impressed with this property. The pastries left for us at check in were fantastic. I cannot say enough great things about this property. There were also lots of great shops a short drive away and plenty of activities.

We had a great visit to Geneva on the Lake. Our group included 12 people ranging from a 5 year old to an 86 year old. The master suite was pretty amazing. The host stopped by when we had some questions operating the fire table outside, which was really nice for them to stop by. We mentioned we would be doing a lot of cooking for 12, and the host dropped off a large pot for us to borrow. They also had an electric skillet and 2 extra side burners to use. They had a lot of kitchen items which was very helpful; they even had 2 waffle makers (which we used). There was a stand-alone ice maker but it had trouble keeping up with the demand. I’d recommend bringing some ice cube trays if you’ll need a good amount of ice. They provided a lot of outdoor games and a nice porch with a fire table and overhead lights. Inside they provided a ton of board games. The large kitchen table was very helpful to see all the guests. The extensive selection of coffee and creamers was very useful, and there were treats provided at check-in (nice surprise). Lastly, the kids bedroom with 4 twin beds was awesome for the kids. The attached game room was perfect for them to hang out while the adults hung out downstairs. Cons: There are 5 bedrooms upstairs with only 1.5 bathrooms upstairs (both small). The stove is getting old and some of the knobs are loose, so it is a little tough cooking on the stove.

Don’t pass up an opportunity to stay in this house! Jim & Maggie are the absolute best hosts. They were very responsive prior to our stay, during our stay and even after our stay. Every room in the house was super clean and decorated to a tee. The kids absolutely loved the bedroom with 4 twin beds and especially the game room. Plenty room for a large group with a nice outdoor space also! We will be back!

What an unforgettable experience! Jim and Maggie's gorgeous house nestled in a nature-filled, serene neighborhood provided a perfect escape for our family retreat. Within minutes of the lake, strip, beach, grocery store, harbor - there was something for everyone in our group of 14 and pup. Just want to hang at the house? Indoor games, outdoor games, books, you name it. We played baseball in the giant yard, had dance offs in the game room, and managed a puzzle or two on the sprawling table while overlooking pine trees. Ended every night watching fireflies and reminiscing by the fire. Jim and Maggie are amazing hosts. They were responsive and incredibly accommodating, ensuring that our stay was perfect in everyway. From the handwritten note and goodies when we arrived, to the lightening fast replies when we had questions. The house is immaculate with amenities that go beyond typical for VRBO or even posh hotels. The attention to detail with the decor and furnishings made it feel like a true home away from home. Need ice? There's a ice machine. Cooking in? Kitchen has everything - and it's all labeled. Cooking out? Grill and pizza oven are spotless. Have a chill? Grab a soft blanket. BBQ sauce on your t-shirt? Throw it in the wash. I could go on and on and on. Whether your looking for a peaceful or active retreat, this is the place to be for top-notch hospitality and relaxation. Just book it, you won't regret it.

We recently celebrated my sister’s upcoming wedding at Jim and Maggie’s VRBO with a group of 16, and it was an absolutely perfect experience. From the moment we arrived, Jim and Maggie couldn’t have been more welcoming, making us feel right at home. The property is a solid five stars! The house was well-stocked with everything we needed, including an abundance of dishes, an ice machine, and outdoor games that kept everyone entertained. The property itself is stunning and offers a sense of privacy that made our stay feel even more special. Jim and Maggie’s attention to detail was evident with thoughtful touches like donuts upon arrival and plenty of shampoo, conditioners, and toothbrushes in case we forgot our own. The beds were firm and comfortable, ensuring everyone had a restful night’s sleep. The location was also ideal, with a short drive to local wineries and Geneva-on-the-Lake, which added even more enjoyment to our trip. Overall, Jim and Maggie’s VRBO was the perfect spot for our celebration. We couldn’t have asked for better hosts or a more beautiful property. Highly recommend for any gathering or special occasion!

We were so pleased with our stay that we are looking at the availability already for future trips. The house was very well stocked with necessities, the bedroom layout worked well, and place was very clean.

We brought our family to the Ashtabula area for the 2024 eclipse viewing. We could not have picked a better house to spend time with our family!
