Welcome to Seagrass Cottage, a restored Sears & Roebuck cottage. Sears & Roebuck kit homes were very popular at Geneva on the Lake in the 1940's and early 1950's due to their affordability and ease of setup. In the 1980's and 1990's, these homes fell out of fashion and many were neglected and torn down for larger homes to be built. We lovingly restored this home in order to preserve a piece of Geneva on the Lake history.
Seagrass Cottage has accommodations for up to 6 people, is located on the East end of "The Strip" and is within walking distance to many attractions. Township Park, with its iconic picnic pavilion, playground and amazing Lake Erie views is a 2 minute walk away. Watch the sunset here, or catch a concert in the evening. Walk to many restaurants and bars within 5-10 minutes. Rent bikes or a golf cart to tour our small town and for easy access to Breakwater Beach and the Geneva State Park. Visit our friends at Adventure Zone to play Putt-Putt, arcade games or to race around the go cart track. Check out the Zip Line tours at The Lodge, or enjoy a hamburger at Eddies Grill. Schedule a T-Time at the Geneva on the Lake Public Golf Course, or any one of other area courses.
Ashtabula and nearby Lake Counties are home to more than 30 wineries, most within a 15 minute drive from Seagrass Cottage. Looking to schedule a tour?
