Disliked: Cleanliness
The owner cancelled my reservation the day before I was to arrive. My friends and I were left scrambling to find a new place to stay less than 24 hours before leaving home. I am now in a fight with VRBO to refund my money. This was the WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! I do not recommend staying in Tom Brown's rentals.

Thom K.

We have stayed at many VRBO homes and have to say this one was the worst. Not sure how people are rating this property so high.-There is no mention that there are NO T.V.s in any bedrooms.-There is NO HEAT upstairs except in ONE bedroom so you need to leave all of the doors open hoping that heat will come in. My wife had to sleep downstairs on the couch the entire trip.-The floor in the upstairs bathroom is cracked and seems to be sinking-The shower floors in each bathroom had no grip making them very slippery and unsafe.-The downstairs bathroom door has NO LOCK on it.-The front windows were open when we arrived-mind you it was about 30 degrees outside.-The gate to the yard has no working latch so kept banging against the fence all day and night.-The staircase is very narrow

Long weekend getaway

Had a small reunion of college friends. This was excellent place for our group. Walking distance for most things easy to get to downtown with lots of things to do not too far from the lake. The town is very nice with lots of community activities.

Sometimes, pictures do lie.

Was excited to relax in the "beautiful lake view", only to find it was not as promised or pictured. The area was not what one might call "vacation-like" atmosphere. The view in the photo was nothing like the actual view from the house. Very disappointed.

Weekend in Delevan, WI

Our family of three couples and one infant from across the country gathered in Delavan, WI for a wedding at a nearby resort. We were there in November, so we could not take advantage of the large deck. The place was perfect for our brief weekend, and we would gladly return in the summer!

Nice House but Outdoor Space Needs Work

This house was clean and very well stocked both with towels and kitchen supplies. We were happy with the location and the easy drive to Lake Geneva. Our host was easy to contact and handled our question immediately, But upon arrival, we were disappointed with the overgrown state of the yard, especially the front. We looked forward to the beautiful backyard but unfortunately the stairway access was so overgrown with vines we found it difficult to use.

Enjoyed our stay

We stayed 3 nights and really enjoyed this rental property. It's clean and well maintained, bed was comfortable, and it has a large, well-equipped kitchen. Large deck out back was a very pleasant place to sit and relax. Location is decent, a 5 min walk to all the Delavan main street stores, and half an hour drive to Lake Geneva. Can recommend.

Best rental ever

This house was perfect, so nicely appointed! Plenty of room to spread out, we especially enjoyed the back deck overlooking the massive yard and lake, if had cooler weather we definitely would’ve been out playing bocce and sitting by the fire. The beds were all very comfortable, and had nice bedding. The kitchen is open and has everything needed. Downtown area is 2 blocks away with several good restaurants. Mill Pond is a 5 minute walk, cute little spot to swim, play in the sand and relax. The host was very communicative and a pleasure to work with. We stay in several rentals a year throughout the country and MX and this place gets a perfect 10 in our eyes.
