Stayed at Ezmeraldas for a getaway weekend with my sister. The cottage was perfectly sized for two people, spotlessly clean, and was extremely well-stocked. The decor was very unique and greatly added to our enjoyment. The grounds are amazing with beautiful landscaping and wooded paths that put this place head and shoulders above the usual rentals. We enjoyed the peace and serenity of the wine shack and fire pit both nights. The location is perfect for going to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. And to top it all off, Jan is about the coolest most interesting host you could ask for. You won’t be disappointed if you book this cottage .

Enjoying your getaway at Ezmeralda's with your sister was perfect! The relaxing atmosphere and decor inside, with the same experience outdoors in the wine shack was perfect as well. I'm glad you enjoyed that about Ezmeralda's. I must agree, one unique bungalow.
Sharing an evening with both of you fireside in the wine shack and exchanging stories was a very enjoyable evening.
I hope I have the opportunity with both of you as returning guests. I would be honored.
Until we meet again...Take Care!

Two of my high school friends and I wanted to celebrate our reunion in Ohio at the wineries but were unsure of where to stay, as this was our first visit to the Geneva-on-the-Lake area. After doing some research, we came across Ezmeralda’s and could not have been happier with our choice. Jan and Joe both extended warm hospitality and their cottage could not have been nicer. The accommodations were clean and comfortable and Jan’s creativity and attention to detail was nothing short of amazing! We hope to come back again soon and will highly recommend this property to other friends and family.

Beautiful home and property, as well as hosts. Second time here and planning next trip. Everything you could possibly want or need in a perfect location. The interior is warm and welcoming. The gardens and firepit area are inspiring. There are lots of things to do nearby, but we came to relax and recharge and I feel better than I have in months.

About the host
Hosted by Jan D'Angelo ` Owner
My hometown is Latrobe, Pennsylvania. I moved to this area in 1980 with the intent of staying a few years and here it is, I am still here. I am at my best being outdoors no matter what the weather may be. I purchased this 1920's bungalow in 2010. It was due for demolition with the city. I purchased this property with the same intent, demo and simply expand the footage of my yard. Once inside and exploring, the foundation was solid. My plans for demo changed to renovation. The renovation became a labor of love. Keeping to the original build of the 1920's, renovation took a little over 2 years due to my work schedule. My companion, Joe Marte, was very instrumental renovating this property as well. Sharing Ezmeralda's with guests is a dream come true! Ah, the name...Ezmeralda's. Let me tell you, very simply. Ezmeralda is the nickname given to me by my beloved Mom. It only seemed right. I'm sure she would have approved!
Why they chose this property
I purchased this property in 2010. Living next door, I remember always wishing that I would love to be its owner. Although fairly neglected in the 20+ years of living next door to this property, I could see "her" potential. When it became available in 2010, I was elated. It took approximately one year to "close the deal" and in the end, everything worked in my favor, and I became the owner of "The Blue house on Sherman", now known as... Ezmeralda's. This bungalow gave me the opportunity to channel my creativity and indulge in my passion for vintage finds, antiques, flipping flea market treasures and putting it all together! It is whimsical and you can sense a light touch of magic in the air. Come, you will love what you see!
What makes this property unique
Although this property is located in the city and minutes away from many attractions in this area, Ezmeralda's offers a very private, rural setting. Enclosed on 3+ acres, the wooded area in the back of the property is breathtaking. An outbuilding, known as "The Wine Shack," overlooks the ravine. The name says it all ... sip a glass of wine. Stroll woodland pathways. What did you discover? Truly a unique setting on this property! The Wine Shack includes outdoor furniture, a picnic table and use of the fire pit. Just outside the back door is the garden shed and patio. A patio table and chairs are located in this area along with a gas grill / utensils for your use. Our front porch is a cozy sitting area as well! Come... you are going to enjoy this bungalow and all that it has to offer.
