More information about OUTDOOR amenities:

The property is teaming with wildlife. We frequently see rabbits, deer, turtles, frogs, little snakes, and so much more. We love to watch the birds in the trees from the porch, and some nights you can see the fireflies light up the trees. The chorus of peaceful sound never ends, with birds chirping in the morning and frogs croaking at night. 

Our recreational acre pond features a central floating fountain. We've added daffodils in 2023 as well as lots of other flowers. Three kayaks and a pedal boat are provided, as well as a small selection of life jackets. Gar, blue gill, and striped bass live in the pond as well and will follow you around the edge. The views of the pond are beautiful during every season, and the fall colors are simply spectacular out here! 

Though there's plenty of fishing and hunting nearby, we do not allow either at the property. It is a rather wild woodsy lot, so keep your eyes out for poison ivy and bring your bug spray and sunscreen. Remember to bring all personal items inside at night, as the raccoons might steal your shoes if you leave them out. (Yes, it has happened before!)

Tent camping is considered around the pond, and the set up would be perfect for a group of scouts, family reunion, girls' weekend, yoga retreat, or more! Weddings and other events will be considered on a case by case basis but must be pre-approved and cannot be booked through a third party, and all camping and event fees must be paid prior to check in.

WATER SUPPLY note

The Kingsville Lodge runs on a well system with a new 2,000 gallon underground cistern backup system that will allow plenty of water for daily use even for groups; however, we do not allow guests to run the hose for any reason, as this could drain out your water supply and cause you quite an inconvenience. We do ask that groups over 8 try to conserve water during their stay by refraining from doing extra laundry or filling the indoor jacuzzi tubs.

LOCATION

Just an hour east of Cleveland and only 7.5 miles south of Lake Erie, the Kingsville Lodge is ideally situated near many popular vacation destinations. We are deep in Ohio's wine country, known as the Grand River Valley, home to over 30 wineries and where more than half of Ohio's grapes are grown. And if you're looking for something else to do, daily events in the area range from baby goat cuddle time and trivia night to bar crawls and live music. We have many annual summer festivals, including the Ashtabula Harbor Beach Glass Festival in June, the Wine and Walleye Festival in July, the D-Day Reenactment in August, and the Geneva Grape Jamboree in September, to name a few. And don't forget about the Grand River Valley Ice Wine Festival in March, or the Ashtabula County Covered Bridge Festival in October. 

Within a 30-minute drive are also Geneva on the Lake, the SPIRE Institute, various breweries, orchards, covered bridges, golf courses, lakeside dining in Ashtabula, and so much more. We highly recommend you check out the small towns around us. Kingsville, Ashtabula, Jefferson, Conneaut, and our other local towns have quaint downtown areas with lots of restaurants and shops to choose from. Presque Isle State Park in Erie, Pennsylvania is only 45 minutes away.

Ashtabula County Visitor's Bureau offers a very helpful area guide with area attractions and events at VisitAshtabulaCounty.com. A copy of the annual travel guide is available at the lodge.
