Alta Vista Lakefront Home: Walk to GOTL Strip, A\C, Priv. Beach, Sleeps 6-8-READ
Welcome to Alta Vista House! Beautiful 3 bed and 2 bath house in the middle of The Geneva on the Lake Strip on New Street. Historic Alta Vista (built 1906) shares the street with the historic Mary's Kitchen restaurant which is within walking distance from us and open for breakfast, lunch and dinner during the summer. The beautiful Firehouse Winery is in our backyard! Guests at Altavista also have private beach access, shared with members and guests of New Street.
All 3 bedrooms are upstairs, all have a full size beds, as well as air conditioner units in each room. One of the upper bedrooms has additional space for an air mattress (not Included). Altavista can accommodate 6 guests with beds, or 8 guests with 1-2 of those guests sleeping on the couch. If desired, guests can bring an air mattress to set up in one of the bedrooms. Fresh linens for beds and a bath towel provided for each guest. We ask that guests put all used linens/towels on beds when they leave so we may know what was used and then be replaced for the next guests. There is a Ring doorbell on the side door and a Blink camera facing the porch in order to observe porch during times when renters are not occupying the property.
Amenities include: A fully stocked kitchen, electric stove, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, dishes, cookware, glassware, silverware, charcoal grill, and outdoor porch with an outstanding lakefront view. We also include fans on the lower level and A/C in bedrooms and living room, picnic table, WiFi, a firestick for TV (logins for streaming services not provided), and private beach access. Please be courteous and do not litter on the beach!
As stated above, guests have private beach access on the street but there are many other attractions at GOTL and the Strip, which is walking distance from Altavista. Geneva has their own Golf Course, mini golf courses, playgrounds, various courts (basketball and tennis), various bars and restaurants, including famous Eddie's Grill and Mary's Kitchen, arcades, wineries, Geneva Lodge, the Geneva State Park (larger and public beach access), Covered Bridge tours, local parks, and many other attractions! Since there are so many attractions, we included a few brochures for our guests, but more can be found at the GOTL Visitors Center. Property is also about 15 minutes from SPIRE Academy and the freeway, perfect for a family getaway and quick to get to and from the Academy.
Parking (up to 3 cars) is in a driveway that is shared by our neighbor so please be courteous park as close to our right side as possible. Guests may utilize the backyard grass behind the house if need be. Check in is 4:00 pm and checkout is 11:00 am.

The perfect location!!! So close to everything but at the end of a peaceful street. Great views of the lake from the porch and a cute restaurant a few doors down for breakfast or lunch! We loved being able to park the car and walk everywhere we wanted to go!
Just two blocks from the main drag, and located at the end of the street on the bluff of Lake Erie, made this a quiet setting to relax and watch the sunrise and sunset when not enjoying the atmosphere of GOTL.
The location & view of the lake cant be beat! Sitting on the porch watching the lake was so relaxing..We had a couple small hiccups, but Jim immediately responded! Would love to stay here again
The location was perfect. What a great view from the porch. The house was charming and comfortable. We loved the rustic decor. The owner was very accommodating. We plan to make this our annual girls getaway place.
We had a wonderful time in this house. Great location right on water and on strip. Owner very responsive and nice. Clean charming perfect. Has it all. 👍 very nice place
This was a really nice rental right on the water, an absolutely perfect location. We had a large group of relatives stop by for my mother's 90th birthday and it was terrific. The house had plenty of room for 20 people to mingle and the access to the beach was ideal. Also, we had to head back at night and leave our two adult children and their spouses from out of town without a car and being just off the strip, they were able to walk out and have really nice evenings. Highly recommend this house.
We needed an early checkin at the last minute and he was very accomodating! The home was as described. Location can’t be beat! Many upgrades would be worthwhile. We had a slip and fall in the tub which would have been avoided if a grab bar was installed
This house is right in the middle of the strip in the heart of it all!!! However, once you’re at the house it feels private, it’s quiet, relaxing and the sound of the waves is so peaceful while sitting on the porch. Inside has all of the comforts of home including fresh smells, clean towels, clean linens a stocked kitchen and 2 bathrooms which is always a plus with plenty of TP. The owner is very kind and answers all questions honestly and in a timely manner. You won’t be disappointed if you stay here.
Great place to stay. Perfect strip location and has access to walk down to the water. Area is perfect to have fire by the water for a beautiful relaxing space . House could use a few updates but great space for 7 of us! Couch is very comfy! Big open living room to host a party. Did have a few dust tumbleweeds on stair well and spiders/webs in a few corners but beds and linens were clean and ready to use. Unfortunately it was may fly time so we were unable to enjoy the big front porch. Host is a great communicator and wonderful to work with. I recommend giving this place a try!

Stayed for the weekend to celebrate a friends birthday. The location could not be more perfect. Right in the middle of the strip and right on the water. It has a beautiful private beach. I reached out to the host with a question and received an immediate response. Highly recommend this house. It checked all the boxes for our group. Will definitely stay again.
It seemed very private but was super close to all of the action. We loved being able to walk everywhere and enjoyed our time sitting on the porch with a great view of the lake. We would definitely stay here again.
The views were amazing, the beds were comfy, the house was clean and well stocked.
We very much enjoyed the walkway to the private beach and the local attractions!
It was a much needed girls getaway, this place did the trick!
The house and grounds were lovely, situated on Lake Erie. The pictures in the listing beautifully captured the charm of this cottage/house. We already booked for next year, can’t wait to go back!
