Great stay!

My friends and I enjoyed a girls weekend here in mid-May. The location was perfect for easily walking around Lake Geneva. The upstairs bedrooms did get quite warm overnight.

Perfect Fit

We came for a quick getaway and this house was perfect for our needs. Clean, close to downtown. An easy walk into town, but if we needed to drive parking was easy as well.

Bachelorette weekend

Had a wonderful time, we were able to walk downtown and felt safe doing so. We utilized the outdoor yard games and had plenty of room to set up and spread out for games and weekend bridal activities in the home!

Bachelor Party

Last minute reservation. Beautiful house! We had 8 which allowed everyone somewhere to sleep without sleeping in the same bed as someone. If you are sharing beds you can easily fit 10-12. Overall good experience, close to the downtown area, and nice home to stay at.
