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.

• 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.

There are several restaurants and wineries right on the lake, and our spectacular sunsets offer the perfect subject for photo enthusiasts.

Family Fun
Our family of 20 from ages 4 to 74 totally enjoyed our stay at The Colonial for the 3rd time. The owner, Matt, quickly addressed anything we needed. Fishing, swimming, nightly campfires, shops, arcades, music (from the daily bands) and good food at Sportsters, next door, completed our annual family vacation.

Great Location!! Great time!!
This is the 2nd time me and my high school girlfriends have stayed at this house. You can't beat the location. Literally, in the middle of the everything. Lots of room for all 10 of us and the house is clean and stocked with everything you'd need. We have already booked our stay for next year.

Just Perfect
This was our 25th year sending Labor Day weekend at GOTL and this house is perfect. It's large enough to accommodate the whole family and the location is perfect. We love the big yard, the fire pit and it's right next to the Gyro place which makes everyone happy. Matt is easy to communicate with and responds quickly. We will be back next year, we are already looking forward to it!

Great time @ historical Warner home
Great location & fun experience @ the Colonial. Love the old wood & appreciated the spaciousness of the home. We enjoyed nightly fires in the fire pit. Kitchen table is beautiful. Plenty of room inside & out. My only recommendation would be to replace or recover furniture in living rooms. We had a great time!

Great stay!
We had a amazing time at this property! It was a beautiful house and a excellent location! It is just steps away from everything on the strip! There was plenty of space, toiletries, towels and bedding. We would like to come back in the summer! My only recommendation is maybe including a map of parking, the listing says 10 parking spaces but the paved area only has space for about 6 cars we were not aware it was ok to park on the grass so some of our cars were parked incorrectly and we had to move them, the property management was beyond nice and allowed us to move when we came back to the house but it would have been nice to know ahead of time so we could have avoided it. We had a excellent time and can't wait to come back!

The only complaint is the live music at the bar next door. Why does the bar have live music on a Monday and Tuesday night when there is no more than 5 people at the bar???? Sitting around the fire pit trying to talk was very difficult.

The Colonial is The Place to Stay!
We've been coming to The Colonial in the summer for a few years now and it has always been a great time there. The Colonial is such an amazing house-from the inside to the large yard and fire pit outside. This year, despite the inclement weather for the first few days, we had another memorable stay. Walking the strip, sitting on the huge porch listening to the band next door at Sportster's, Eddie's Grill, the Sunrise Cafe, karaoke at The Swiss Chalet-all within a two minute walk. Already looking forward to The Colonial in the summer of 2024. Thank you to Matt and P.J!

Beautiful big old house
14 of us stayed 3 nights and it was just a great place. So centrally located. Short walks to antique shop, souvenir stores, a winery, bars and restaurants. We loved the large porch and spent much time there. It was very cutely decorated for the fall season. As a note to the owners some attention needs spent on cleaning the kitchen cabinets out. Also please outline where the parking is for this house as its noted as 15 places but we didnt understand where they were.

Beautiful house in a great location
Loved this charming house. It is very spacious and the 12 of us had plenty of room to be together or apart. Wonderful covered porch and fire pit area where we spent most of our time. It is close to business ( literally behind and beside) which is good for people watching or shopping. The bar has live entertainment which is nice to listen to and not so loud to be intrusive. You can’t hear anything inside. We played games at the huge dining room table. It was clean, the beds were comfortable and all the window air conditioners worked. Had a wonderful time.

Loved our beautiful Colonial weekend stay. Our family takes annual weekend stays in GOTL and it’s always a fun time. For this year, we got the Colonial. From the giant porch, the fireside chairs, the kitchen table, family and friends enjoyed much conversation about the many events and fun times we shared. The beds were super soft and cozy, air conditioners in the rooms work great! The kitchen has everything and the main bathroom is totally renovated with the best shower! Everything was so easy and the grounds are so spacious and pretty. Having an entire row of parking for guests is just another plus. GOTL is always a place we visit for the nostalgia and this time the Colonial trip will be so memorable, thank you!

Commodious Colonial
Our family had a wonderful visit at "The Colonial," which was large and comfy enough to accommodate our party of 8 adults and 6 children. Thoughtfully decorated with delightful seasonal touches, we were also able to easily entertain 10 additional family members (who were staying elsewhere) for our family dinners. It's rare to be able to find quarters large enough for such a large group. Photos are accurate, communication with Matt was first-rate (we were generously allowed an early check-in on a travel day with very wicked weather), and the entire experience was all anyone could have hoped for. Four other members of our party stayed in the smaller adjacent cottage, and this convenience was much appreciated, as well. (It should also be noted that there are accessibility ramps at the larger house, too, which was much appreciated by several in our party.) Plus - and this was extremely popular with our gang - fire pits! All-in-all, a great choice if you're bringing a "whole host of folks" to gather together.

Did not stay because of bug infestation.
We arrived at the property and it was infested inside and out with midges. I called the owner. He agreed to refund my money. We could not stay at the property. The bedrooms were full of these midges. The owner was completely understanding and had no problem with our refund. I am now trying to get VRBO to refund their service fee. I had to find other arrangements for 15 people. I have booked with VRBO several times in the past with great experiences. Hopefully they meet my expectations and refund the service fee for a property that could not be used. Again, I understand that these midges were nothing that the owner could control and I appreciate that he did the right thing for us.

The house is great for large groups, sleeps 20 easily. The house is also perfectly located on the strip of shops, restaurants and bars all within walking distance. Perfect for parties and there is a large fire place. The time of the year we went it was cold at night, the house doesn’t have central heat and the heated are gas controlled with an open flame and risk CO exposure if not done right, we did not feel comfortable lighting these. Also the midges were all over the outside of the house and hundreds got inside. One of the guests left because of this. It rained the last night we were there and the attic ceiling started leaking in one of the other guests rooms. The house is old and needs some updating. Additionally there were decorations left in places in the house from a previous party that the cleaning people missed and weren’t exactly appropriate for kids so hopefully those are removed before a big family party. Otherwise we had a great time!

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.
