This cottage is adorable–inside and out! It's easy to find, easy to enter, and easy to feel comfortable. It's clean and has all the basic amenities you might need. Dave and Kate have great taste and have created an adorable lake-themed cottage. We used their beach pass to visit the community beach and watch the sunset on the benches there. This cottage is a short drive to Geneva-on-the-Lake and the state park there, and Ashtabula and its Harbor District and Lake Shore Park. ##### Kristin V. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth M. 19 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice cottage close to waterfront Its a nice small cottage, very clean. There is no water view from the house but you can walk in 3 min to a grassy area with benches overlooking Lake Erie. If you are both brave and agile, you can, after you walk down the wooden stairs there, climb over the rocks to get to the private beach. Its a bit more challenging if you are carrying beach chairs and a beach bad but it is lovely. ##### Elizabeth M. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan W. 13 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Very nice Cottage right by the lake. The owners, Dave and Kate, had excellent communication. The cottage has a dishwasher and ice machine in the fridge, which was really appreciated. The decor, kitchen items and little touches throughout were very thoughtfully done. There are even condiments and seasonings for guests to use. I will definitely be back for another visit! ##### Ryan W.

There's great local restaurants nearby, right by the water, and an easy 15 drive to the Spire Institute. The home itself is so nice and the owners did a great job in every room from the finishing materials to the decor. We will definitely be trying to rent again the next time we're in the area!! ##### James H.

We had a girls weekend getaway and I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed our stay! The cottage was adorable, and spotless! The beach was better than we expected, and we spent most of the afternoon there before exploring wine country :) We are already discussing staying here again next year! Owners were great and even recommended their favorite spots to visit. ##### Kayla M. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Karen B. 30 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Annual Vacation My sons and their families and I vacation together every year for a few days to reconnect. The Buttercup Cottage was located in a central spot suited for our interests from restaurants to beaches. The layout of the cottage was perfect for our needs, the back yard was secluded and allowed room for my Grandson to run and play to his heart's content. Plenty of room in the kitchen for everyone to make meals together. Meals were in the front room at the table or outside at the patio table, which was perfect size. Being newly remodeled, everything was clean, fresh and welcoming. Memories can be made anywhere with loved ones, but, this year's memories include a comfortable and beautiful place to live while making those memories. If we decide to revisit Ashtabula, OH we will definitely stay here again. The hosts? Very nice couple were here when we arrived and are truly very nice and friendly! I reccommend this cottage without any hesitation! ##### Karen B. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ---
