Experience Geneva on the Lake Ohio at the beautiful Whip’s Cottages.
Three cottages are rented out as a single unit, giving you ample space for up to a party of 18. Designed and decorated with a modern rustic motif, you’ll feel the relaxed every moment you are in your cottage.
Each cottage has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, as well as their own living rooms and kitchens. Each cottage is also equipped with a sleeper sofa. There is cable television in the living room and bedrooms as well as high speed internet with Wi-Fi, so you won’t miss any of your favorite shows or events.

Nestled on the shores of Ohio’s first summer resort, Whip’s Cottages keep you close to the fun all year long. The cottages themselves are located right on the main strip of the resort area. Go for a swim, take a sunset cruise, or enjoy a day of fishing with your buddies. There are plenty of restaurants and wineries right on the lake, and you’ll love getting a bird’s eye view of the area from the top of the Ferris Wheel.

Just as described! Beautiful lower deck for the entire family to enjoy. Loved that each family had their own private cottage. Property was clean and comfortable. It was our first time staying at Whips Cottages and we hope to return for many years to come! Thanks for everything!

Convenient, nice for 3 families!
Loved the outdoor gas fire pit. It was cold and rainy the first 3 days. But we had fun on the strip. Went to the beach Friday. The refrigerator in the one cottage quit working at the end of our week and we had to disperse the food to the other cottages. Other than that, it was as expected! Thank you.

Amazing property! Great Location! We wish we had beach access but it was absolutely beautiful on the deck! Checked in Sunday and Tuesday around 4pm lost power due to a storm. The whole strip was out till Thursday morning at 1:30am. We checked out that day at 11. Our family made the best of it!

Great location on GOTL
Great location just off the strip. Made everything walkable and convenient for our two night stay. Plenty of parking was appreciated. Deck overlooking water was great. Beds in cabins were good. Pull out sofas would have been difficult to put two adults on. I’d only recommend those for kids or adults who don’t care about their sleeping situation. Mirrors next to power outlets would be recommended for future stays.

Perfect Location
It's the perfect location. The cottage closest to the lake needs a new mattress in the one bedroom. We noticed it sunk in the middle so i chose this room for my husband and I since I chose the cottage we all booked. I wasn't expecting a top notch mattess, but one where we weren't stuck in the middle all night. The description should show a.more accurate picture of the lower level deck. You walk down very steep steps. If you have bad knees, it will be difficult to get down them. The view is beautiful once you get down there. We all had an amazing weekend together and loved the center deck. It was our main gathering place. I would stay here again and recommend to friends.

Great location! Close to downtown
Loved our stay here for our group of 12! Beds were a little small to share, but overall was perfect for our group. The staircase going to the deck overlooking the lake needs some attention (prickly plants need trimmed back), but the porch space between the cabins provided a great place for our group to hang out. The host was great and we would stay here again!

A good place for family + pets to stay in GOTL!
We stayed here with a large group (8 adults, 2 kids, 3 dogs, 1 cat!) during the week of the 4th of July. Overall, we had a very positive experience. There were a few things that could use a little bit more maintenance (the deck overlooking the lake has some loose / missing boards), but they didn't prevent us from using it or impact our experience! The cabins aren't fancy, but they have what you need! You can cook, and have separate spaces (and bathrooms) for a large group (amazing!), and watch TV. The deck between cabin 2 / 3 is lovely for hanging out as a group (we spent most of our time there). The location on the strip is great for access to restaurants and activities. As mentioned by some others, noise from the strip can be an issue, especially at the front cabin. We recognized that we were there during a particularly busy weekend, but just be warned that you WILL hear motorcycle and loud live music noise on the weekends.. sometimes until midnight. On the weeknights? It was quiet and peaceful most nights. For us, it was still worth it, but others might be less tolerant! Bring earplugs and/or a noise machine and it will help. We had one issue with the dryer which was VERY quickly resolved. Super responsive to help us get it working and we were very grateful!! Overall a fantastic stay for our family!

Had a great time at the cottages on the lake. Beds weren't the most comfortable, but for one night, they worked. The garbage was full out on the deck for the middle cottage. That could have been emptied prior to our arrival. We still had a great time.

My 2 sisters and I (ages 70 - 85) had a wonderful stay! We loved each of us having our own cottage for a bit of privacy, and loved how close we were to each other. We enjoyed walking the strip, trying out local restaurants, and the homemade ice cream!

Perfect location! 3 cottages. 6 bedrooms. 3 bathrooms. Firepit with nice Adirondack chairs. We had tons of room for 9 people. Perfect location. Noisy across the street but a noise machine drowned that noise out. Everyone who stayed loved having the privacy of 3 different cottages. Plenty of parking.

The cottages felt like they were secluded even though they were right on the strip. Large trees shaded, kept the cottage fairly cool and there was a great view of the lake. Cottages were clean and would recommend and rent again

Multiple family vacation
We loved the privacy but convenient location. The place is equipped with all that you need but it is spread throughout all 3 cottages.Thesleeper sofas were rough. So we bought air mattresses. The cottage closest to the street had continuous noise from drunks across the street @bar. It also had a bee nest- we called & immediately they sent someone to spray. The conjoining deck was great for all of us to be together. We took 2 dogs & they were able to be with us with gate closed. The steps down to the lower deck were to steep for our older family members to enjoy the lake front. The view was beautiful. We rented a golf cart but we were able to walk everywhere if needed. We had family from 77 years old to 11.since booking my father took I’ll & was having difficulty with mobility. He was able to enter the first cottage ( noisy one) easily with no steps & able to pull car right up to the door. Everyone had a great time. We enjoyed finding rocks decorated from previous family. GOTL is a friendly community. We hope to return.

There were 8 of us that came to visit for a family reunion in Geneva. Cottage was in a great location, both decks were awesome. We stayed for 9 nights, and had a blast on the strip. Spacious enough for each couple to have their own space. Cute place, easy check in, clean, quiet, plenty of parking room off the street. Will be back!

Great Place for a Family Vacation
Great having several a cottages together with an outdoor living area. The steps going down to the lower deck, Lake front area deck needs the railing repaired and the steps going down are very uneven and would benefit with a sign stating to use caution. Also there were batteries in the smoke detectors.
