Walking distance to downtown and quiet street, kitchen with plenty of accessories, good bed and shower. Should be a prime consideration especially for two couples or family of four. The fold out couch in the living room was not utilized but would accommodate a larger family. Good choice

Excellent Home in Lake Geneva

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely home in Lake Geneva. Great location, only 15 minutes from the main downtown area and lake. The house was very clean with updated decor and all basics needs for a comfortable stay. The yard was a bonus since we had a dog. Communications with the owner was excellent and we hope to be staying here again in the near future.

Autumn Getaway

Home is in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance (15 min) of downtown shops/restaurants and Lake Shore Path. Clean, newly renovated home with comfortable furnishings and appliances/electronics in working order. Kitchen is well stocked with more than necessary items for cooking and eating in. Large fenced and private backyard with large patio (and front porch). Hosts provided quick responses to requests for help / information. Highly recommended as a relaxing place to stay for a getaway to Lake Geneva.

beautifully remodeled home blocks from the beach

We had a wonderful stay in this beautifully remodeled home. It's very clean and updated with a great look in a quiet neighborhood just about 10 blocks from the lake and downtown Lake Geneva, a slightly long but easy walk. There are many attractions and restaurants in the area. The front porch or rear deck is perfect for morning coffee and evening drinks. The home has nearly new appliances and comfortable beds. The only drawbacks are the living room TV is mounted too high on the wall to watch comfortably from the couch (but each bedroom has a large TV also), it lacks a clothes washer/dryer and the rear deck needs some repair. Overall we had a wonderful stay and the property manager was quick to respond to questions we had.

Labor Day 2024 AAA+

Home impressively clean and up to date.. central air is a plus for the homes in the area. Great location for a walk to downtown, beach and restaurants. Favorite part is the well kept fenced in yard for our fur baby. He had a wonderful time and made a sprinting friend next door. Dog toys and games for kids with other supplies nicely provided for our stay. Would like to be able to get a late check out when it’s offered on the site, or a later check out than 10am. Maybe just have 11am and don’t offer the late checkout. Other than that we are very pleased and will be back for sure especially with our furry friend and family!!

My daughter, my 2 furry babies, and I really enjoyed the stay in this place. The home was very clean, with many amenities provided including: bathroom toiletries, soaps, cleaning supplies for any messes, seasonings for cooking, and more. The kitchen was fully stocked with modern appliances like an air fryer, toaster oven, and a Keurig machine that uses both pods and ground coffee. Both beds were clean and very comfortable. Host was very communicative, friendly, and accomodating. The home is in a wonderfully quiet location that is close enough to the downtown area but far enough to ensure peaceful rest after a long day. The backyard was well maintained and very spacious. Overall, great stay and great price!!!
