About this property

The Sun Catcher 5BR: Steps from The Strip and room to relax!

Come have fun in the sun!

Our 5 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom cottage sits on a short, private drive between the lake and GOTL Strip, providing easy access to the best the village has to offer. The first space you experience is our welcoming sun porch. Step inside to enjoy 1,600sf of room to relax and enjoy. The entire house has been renovated since 2022, including fresh paint throughout, new tile flooring, sun porch rebuild, kitchen redesign including granite countertops plus added cabinets and dishwasher, an added shower upstairs, and a laundry area on the main floor. The main floor also features a living room with sectional, dining room with seating for 6, stocked kitchen, master bedroom with king bed and attached half bath, and a full bathroom with tub and shower. Televisions are Roku equipped so bring your streaming service logins and passwords! Upstairs there are 4 additional bedrooms, each with queen bed, plus a full bath.

Outside is a small concrete patio with picnic tables, gas grill, and fire pit. Though the area is under renovation by another property owner so conditions cannot be guaranteed at any specific time, shared, private lake access is available at the end of our short street. Use is at your own risk. Guests choosing to visit the lakefront must provide their own beach towels, chairs, and water shoes (strongly recommended). We ask everyone to be considerate of others.

Parking is available alongside the house for up to 4 cars, with free parking available just 60' away on Lake Avenue.

Ready for adventure? Look no further than The Strip. Restaurants, music, games, shops, Geneva Township Park, GOTL golf course, Adventure Zone, and Lake Erie Canopy Tours are all within 1 mile. Geneva State Park is 3 miles away and offers access to well-mapped hiking trails, beautiful Breakaway Beach, and a full-service marina that offers seasonal rentals including kayaks, SUP, and jet skis along with fishing boat charters and sunset cruises.

More fun awaits year-round: enjoy a chauffeured tour of Ohio Wine Country, visit Ashtabula Harbor, or explore historic covered bridges. Sports your passion? SPIRE Institute is just 15 minutes away. We recommend visitgenevaonthelake.com or @visitgotl on FB, IG and Twitter for up-to-date information on what is happening in the area.

We take pride in offering our well-maintained home. Absolutely NO SMOKING/VAPING is allowed anywhere in the house, including the sun porch. Bath towels and bed linens are provided. Clothes washer and dryer are available (added 2024). For your convenience, we include a starter pack with 1 roll of toilet paper and 1 hand soap per bathroom, 1 roll of paper towels, trash bags, and basic cleaning supplies. Other supplies are the responsibility of the renter.

Bookings are typically a 2-night minimum except for mid-June through August when they are a 7-night minimum. Children are welcomed. No pets. Select your dates and get ready to start making memories. You’re going to love lake life!

GREAT house! It was very clean, had everything we needed and was comfortable and spacious plus - close to everything. We could walk in either direction to eat and drink, and the lake access was so close! We enjoyed walking down to the water each night to see the sunset. Will definitely be back!

Another wonderful stay at the Sun Catcher

This was our 4th time staying at the Sun Catcher and we had another wonderful stay. All the modern amenities you could ask for, accommodations for family members of all different ages, plenty of parking, and above all else incredible communication and effort from the host to navigate any potential issues. We highly recommend a stay here for larger groups!

Great experience and location!

We had a wonderful time at the Suncatcher! Fantastic location -walkable to everything and loved being so close to all the venues. So many fun bands to see and the area is full of nostalgia. For us it felt like stepping back in time. We spent an afternoon touring the various wineries which was very cool. Laura was super responsive and the house is well equipped with everything you would need. It’s also decorated very cute and would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a memorable trip!

Perfect location

We stayed during thunder on the strip, literally steps from the strip so we didn’t have to worry about finding parking throughout our stay. The house is beautiful and close to the lake. Saw a bald eagle on our last morning flying near the lake shore. Will definitely book again.

The house is just like new. We had plenty of room, location is good, the house is very clean.

Everything was perfect! Everything you need for a comfortable stay is provided. We cooked quite a bit and had what we needed in the kitchen. There were plenty of fresh white towels. We walked to Madsen's Donuts every day. This was a very fun place to stay!

Family Vacation 2024

We found the house to be cozy and in an ideal location along the strip. We have stayed in similar properties in the past, and what impressed me with this one was how well stocked everything was. Plentiful dish soap, dishwasher tablets, toilet paper, paper towels and bath towels. We didn’t use the outside fire pit, mostly because we felt our cars were parked too close, and it was breezy most of the time. We did use the grill, and found that it worked well. Definitely a place I’d recommend and would want to return to.

Perfect

5 couples, in our mid to late 50's, just wanted a weekend of relaxing,drinking, eating and going to a few wineries🍷We seriously couldn't have asked for more perfect accommodations! Everything we needed was there! The house is clean, comfortable and walking distance to a Main Street w/ lots of stores, restaurants, etc. thought there would be an issue w/ only one shower but it really wasn't a problem, and we had plenty of clean towels😉And the welcome basket was such a sweet gesture❤️Will definitely be back again! Thank you!

The house is very nice and comfortable. Good location. The only small thing that needs to be improved is for a house that sleeps 10 people there needs to be several more pots, pans and utensils. Overall, it was good experience and would stay there again.

The Sun Catcher was perfect for our girls group of five! The living area had enough seats for all of us, the porch area was perfect for late night talking and eating breakfast and the high top was perfect for sitting around talking and playing games! We did not do any cooking but it looked like there was ample pots and pans and utensils! There were plenty of wine glasses and the Lakeview winery is with him walking distance! Would have loved to have used the fire pit but every night that we were there was a little too windy and did not feel that it was prudent to light a fire!Overall It was a great place to stay. I would definitely recommend the Sun Catcher if you're staying in Geneva on the lake!

We had an enjoyable stay! The host was quick to answer any questions I had and provided a lot of helpful information. The house was clean, comfortable, and spacious for our group of 7. We really liked the lake access and were pleasantly surprised by the little sandy beach. It was a big pro to be within walking distance of so many restaurants and attractions.

We enjoyed our trip to Geneva staying at the Sun Catcher! Lovely home with nice furnishings. This updated home has all you need to have an old fashioned family trip filled with nostalgia but in a modern updated home. We enjoyed the fire pit and s’more making in the evening and swimming at the end of the street’s water access. The owner was quick to reply to our questions. Hopefully we will be able to stay here another year. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with our family.
