Who We Are - Your Host

Hi, I’m Maureen, your host at Pause Point.

My husband and I live nearby in Northeast Ohio, where our four children and grandchild are all close by. After years of traveling and staying in vacation rentals ourselves, we fell in love with Geneva-on-the-Lake and decided to create a place of our own here.

What began with one cottage quickly became a passion for designing spaces that help people slow down and reconnect. Today we have two homes in the village, each thoughtfully designed with comfort, calm, and a sense of retreat in mind. Each home has its own personality, but both share the same idea: a place to slow down.

At Pause Point, every detail is meant to help you step away from routine, press pause and settle back into what matters. I hope your time here feels peaceful, effortless, and memorable.
