What a magical spot! Calming and quiet outside spaces perfect to relax and enjoy nature. The grounds are very well designed . The cottage is super cute and the interior has so many little special touches. We stayed over a very hot weekend in July and the house was perfectly cool and comfortable. Absolute Delight!

exceeded my expectations

extremely clean and wonderfully designed. the space is so well thought out and prepared intentionally. The towels and bed linens are cotton! this is becoming so hard to find with rentals, microfiber (plastic) is so common now, to the point I bring my own sheets when I travel, so relieved I don't have to do that here. no nasty foam beds either, they are regular mattresses, on the firm side but I slept really well. it is beyond cozy, and there are so many lovely touches, reading materials, resources, and outlets for creativity.

The home is cozy and well equipped. The backyard and wine shack setting are beautiful! The location is great for going to Geneva-on-the-lake and wineries, but just far enough away from all the tourist activity to enjoy the quiet and nature.

40th anniversary, perfect getaway. House was so clean, could eat off the floor! So many beautiful details in the house. Yard was spectacular! We had a fire in wine shed, beautiful evening, wine fire and music, life is good. Jan was amazing, we needed nothing, all was in that house. If you enjoy winding down and nature’s beauty it is the place for you! We will definitely go back!

About the host

Hosted by Jan D'Angelo ` Owner

Host profile image
My hometown is Latrobe, Pennsylvania. I moved to this area in 1980 with the intent of staying a few years and here it is, I am still here. I am at my best being outdoors no matter what the weather may be. I purchased this 1920's bungalow in 2010. It was due for demolition with the city. I purchased this property with the same intent, demo and simply expand the footage of my yard. Once inside and exploring, the foundation was solid. My plans for demo changed to renovation. The renovation became a labor of love. Keeping to the original build of the 1920's, renovation took a little over 2 years due to my work schedule. My companion, Joe Marte, was very instrumental as well renovating this property. Sharing Ezmeralda's with guests is a dream come true! Ah, the name...Ezmeralda's. Let me tell you, very simply. Ezmeralda is the nickname given to me by my beloved Mom. It only seemed right. I'm sure she would have approved!

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property in 2010. Living next door, I remember always wishing that I would love to be its owner. Although fairly neglected in the 20+ years of living next door to this property, I could see "her" potential. When it became available in 2010, I was elated. It took approximately one year to "close the deal" and in the end, everything worked in my favor, and I became the owner of "The Blue house on Sherman", now known as... Ezmeralda's. This bungalow gave me the opportunity to channel my creativity and indulge in my passion for vintage finds, antiques, flipping flea market treasures and putting it all together! It is whimsical and you can sense a light touch of magic in the air. Come, you will love what you see!

What makes this property unique

Although this property is located in the city and minutes away from many attractions in this area, Ezmeralda's offers a very private, rural setting. Enclosed on 3+ acres, the wooded area in the back of the property is breathtaking. An outbuilding, known as "The Wine Shack," overlooks the ravine. The name says it all ... sip a glass of wine. Stroll woodland pathways. What did you discover? Truly a unique setting on this property! The Wine Shack includes outdoor furniture, a picnic table and use of the fire pit. Just outside the back door is the garden shed and patio. A patio table and chairs are located in this area along with a gas grill / utensils for your use. Our front porch is a cozy sitting area as well! Come... you are going to enjoy this bungalow and all that it has to offer.
