This has been the second time we have stayed at the property. Great host! Perfect location to all things we need when coming into town. We will be back when we come into town again…
Such a fun and relaxing weekend at this stay. It was clean and exactly as described. The location was in the perfect spot, very close to the beach and other attractions, while also being private and peaceful. The hosts made sure we had everything we needed. We highly recommend this spot and would definitely stay again!
No issues the home was wonderfully equipped and in a pleasant neighborhood. Quick response by host. We only got to stay one night due to work issues. Would stay again.
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!
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.
Very clean property. Quiet neighborhood. Plenty of space to park a truck with a boat along with a second car. Just minutes away from pretty much anything you would need for a relaxing trip. Ours was for fishing and its location to a boat launch cannot be beat. The owners are very receptive and you can tell they do their best to make sure your trip goes well. They are very easy to reach if anything is needed also. Definitely a place you will return too.
We were in town for a funeral. The checkin process was easy and the communication from Gary and Linda was wonderful. The house was perfect for what we needed. Sits across the street from the lake. Very clean and comfortable.
This is the second time I have stayed at this location. The house is large and will accommodate multiple families, including children. The décor is enchanting. I cannot praise the hosts enough. Highly communicative and welcoming. I highly recommend this dwelling as well as the wonderful hosts.
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!
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.

Thank you so very much!
We look forward to seeing you again, Ladies.
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.
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!
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.
We had such a great time in Ashtabula! This house was super clean and had most of your needs. We would stay again if the beds were updated. Unfortunately, all three beds were very uncomfortable. We tried all three and we barely slept all weekend. Then the stairs.. we both slide down. They are half the size of regular stairs, very narrow. Be careful.

Good morning, Hope,
Thank you for your honest review.
So sorry the beds weren’t comfortable for you. People sleep so differently, don’t they?! Some like firm and some like softer mattresses. We have both there.
We intentionally describe the stairs in our listing because folks need to know that, although Gary widened the steps as much as he could, they are still a staircase from a 114 year old home.
Again, thank you for choosing our home and enjoying what our beautiful area has to offer.
All the best,
Linda and Gary
About the host
Hosted by Gary VanBuren
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.
