Historic Home |Perfect Strip Location |Walk to Lake |Wine Country|Grill&Firepit|

Step back nearly 140 years in time and experience the beauty of the late 1800’s at the picturesque Eagle Cliff Inn located directly on the Strip across the street from Lake Erie. Listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, the Inn has been lovingly restored by the previous owner, Jerry Busch, to its nearly original state. Steeped in tradition right down to the antique woodwork, guests will delight in the cozy yet elegant atmosphere in each room but still appreciate every convenience found in a present-day home.
Enjoy access to the full Inn, including living and dining spaces, a complete kitchen, wet bar, and second story sleeping quarters. The Inn’s six en-suite bedrooms that comfortably accommodate up to 12 are simply designed, yet finely appointed in a one-king, five-queen configuration. Outdoors the estate’s wrap-around front porch provides inviting spots to unwind on cushioned wicker chairs, rockers, and the classic porch swing. Relax with a cold beverage or glass of wine from one of the area wineries while grilling a tasty dinner, watch a magnificent Lake Erie sunset, then let a star-filled sky create the perfect backdrop for reconnecting with family and friends around one of the firepits. An oversized parking area is also conveniently available for jet ski or boat parking on property.
Luxury amenities at Eagle Cliff include:
• Large en-suite full baths with tub and shower in every bedroom
• First Floor half bathroom off the Living Room
• Individually controlled heat & A/C in every bedroom
• Wi-Fi and HD cable TV in each room
• Gas fireplace
• Bath essentials including hairdryers, shampoo, conditioner, and soap
• Full laundry room with washer and dryer
• Iron & ironing board
• Propane BBQ grill

Check in is 4:00 p.m. and checkout is 11:00 a.m. Parking for several vehicles is easily accessible just off Lake Road.
Geneva-on-the-Lake in Ashtabula County, known as the “First Resort Village in Ohio,” is an old-fashioned lakefront getaway offering something for everyone, and Eagle Cliff Inn is in an ideal location for walking and easy driving to attractions on the famous entertainment Strip and north shore.

• Restaurants, nightclubs, amusement rides, ziplines, live entertainment, arts, unique shopping, and arcades provide entertainment for everyone in your group, including the evening concerts in Township Park.
• Play a round of golf at one of Geneva’s in-town or area golf courses. For family fun try one of the many miniature golf courses.
• Explore more than 20 Northeast Ohio wineries just minutes from Eagle Cliff Inn – two within walking distance. 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. Swim at the State Park or stroll along the beach, then take a ride on the Ferris wheel. There are several restaurants and wineries right on the lake, and our spectacular sunsets offer the perfect subject for photo enthusiasts.

We absoultly loved our stay. Traveling with a group of old friends. All the bedrooms with private baths was perfect. Great location at end of the Strip but easy walk to everything. The home had everything we needed. Already talking about booking again for next year.

Enjoyable weekend
A group of old friends and spouses got together for the weekend and we were pleased with the rental. Rooms and bathrooms were very clean. The downstairs had plenty of room to accommodate us and quests. Location is great. We loved the wrap around porch and the backyard for an evening fire. We would come back again.

This was our groups 3rd trip to GOTL. This house is perfect for our group, with each bedroom having its own bathroom we can all get ready easily. The 1/2 bath downstairs was an AWESOME addition! We couldn't get the gas fireplace started, but they sent someone over quickly. Highly recommend this house for your girls trip. Also recommend Sunset Taxi for your Wine Hop. Ask for Dave!

As we begin our journey into our 70’s we decided to spend some quality time together. We had a great trip. Enjoyed our stay and visited several wineries. The bar next store to the property is quite loud until the wee hours and corner is quite busy. Overall it worked well for us.

Had a great time. I agree with other reviews about the music. But it was more from the guests in the other cottages out back than the bar. There were 6 of us so we each had our own bedroom and bathroom. Which was wonderful Was glad for the half bath downstairs. Easy to get around the town and to the wineries.

This house is perfect for our August birthdays celebration! We have 6 couples so it is the perfect size and convenient to the strip. The house is very clean and they are working on upgrades, new kitchen counter, new appliances, and a powder room on the 1st floor! Thank you!! Fire pit always has plenty of wood. We are planning already for next August!

Very appropriate for a group of women on a girls weekend get away. It is very pricey when we could have each just got a hotel room. But the porch and sitting at the table together made it worth it

GIRL'S NIGHT OUT
As usual a GREAT time was had by all. I try to make this an annual get together. Last year at this time I was hospitalized and had to cancel my reservation--Management was sympathetic and my deposit was refunded with no problems. This year the addition of the new downstairs bathroom was a huge plus. Plenty of room for food and places to sit. The huge front porch is definitely the highlight of the house. Unfortunately the only drawback is parking. The strip gets quite crowded. Thank you again and See you next year!!

Nice place
Nice place, close to everything. The house was nicely accommodating for our group. Every couple had their own room & bathroom. The beds and bedding ware okay and each room had its own tv. Two old guys who were staying around the corner at one of the back units parked themselves on the front porch in the midst of our group. They had their own patio but sat on ours…..it was awkward. The host never acknowledged my messages and the hand soap containers are filled with water.

Great stay, but…
Great stay and excellent location! The house was clean and spacious, however, the owner did try to charge us an additional fee for “checking in early” without warning. Our group checked-in per e-mail instructions and owner still tried to charge us an additional $300 for our stay. He never collected from us but I just wanted renters to be aware.

There were 9 of us, this house was perfect with 6 BRs and attached bathrooms. Tons of firewood to enjoy the fire pits. Being right on the strip is a bit noisy with cars and motorcycles cruising by. Didn’t hear a thing once we went to bed.

Nice place! But next to bar
This is a fantastic property. Management has everything figured out. My team stayed here during the week on a work trip. Unfortunately this house is located right next to the east end bar and grill which plays music all night until 2:00 in the morning every day of the week. Not the property owners fault but unfortunately if you're a light sleeper you won't be sleeping much.

We had such a great time at the property. It's within close distance to everything we wanted to enjoy. The house was fully stocked with the essentials you need, there is a little store across the street, a few restaurants and bars. The beds were comfortable, the house was spacious and had some cool decor. We will definitely be planning a trip back in the summer when more of the strip is open.

Home base for winery tour
This house has a great porch for relaxing with a comfortable swing for two. It was nice for everyone to have en suite bathrooms. The kitchen had everything needed. This is a great house for couples and is in a great location with a park that you can walk to as well as a market across the street. Several bars are nearby. We had no issues so we did not need to contact the property manager.

We are a group of 11 friends all from upstate ny but residing in many different areas of the country now… met in Geneva as a good middle ground. We really enjoyed finding a place that could comfortably accommodate our group. Loved that each bedroom had it’s own bathroom and how easy it was to find your own space in this large home. Owners and maintenance were very helpful and easy to contact if needed. Thank you for giving us a place to make great memories!
