Great location and property.

The hosts were wonderful. check-in couldn''t have been smoother. The location worked perfectly for us. We had a wedding to attend on the other side of the lake and the boat shuttle was in Fontana. Going the other direction Lake Geneva City is just a short drive away. The house was well furnished , If the weather hadn't been so beautiful we would have spent more time there.

Beach time

This is a wonderful location. We spent every day at the beach so grandkids could swim and fish. I would have given the house a 5 rating, but had some problems with stove, TV and washer. I did tell the host, and I think they plan on replacing old oven, and washer. The tv, we just could not figure out.. Anyway, we would recommend this place if they get these things replaced. The ping pong table was hit in the basement for kids.

Geneva Guest Retreat

This has been our fifth stay at this property, and we will be back! Glenn and Cindi do such a great job with keeping this property up to date with new floors in the basement (New ping pong table) vanities, showers, the list goes on and on! We enjoy having fires in the fire pit and there is always plenty of wood provided for us to burn, in addition, there is always plenty of supplies inside the house as well from paper towels, toilet paper, laundry supplies, everything! It's nice to have that all available! This property is walking distance to the lake and tons of other restsurants and shops. Definitely 5 star ***** rental!! :)

Enjoyed the Stay!

Overall, we really enjoyed the stay at this cottage. It's much roomier than anticipated given the square footage, and included many amenities we were looking for (we couldn't figure out how to get the satellite dish to work but didn't have a need to watch TV so it wasn't an issue). The location is great for walking to the bay and downtown and is also close to many other things to do. A couple of things to note - the first impression of the property wasn't great since you come in the side entry which has what appears to be original railing that is rusting. The cleaning crew also hadn't done a thorough cleaning of the bathroom or the tub for a while (there were hairs on the floor when we got there and you could tell a rush job was done). The windows were also very dirty but everything else was clean and tidy. We would definitely stay in the property again and it's a cute house with some nice upgrades, and a closet full of games for days when the weather's such you need to be inside.

All the little things!

It was a lovely property! Everything was clean and the house was so comfortable. The owners didn't miss a detail. They offered so much more than listed. The house was stocked with things you'd never think of and wouldn't expect. I'm booking again when I come back to visit family!!

Thanksgiving weekend; girls trip

House is immaculate. I've stayed in several properties and this rental was by far the most well cared for place. Very clean and bright. Well stocked with everything one would need to cook meals. Literally all you need to bring is what you want to eat, drink and your clothes. They had everything else. Loved the cozy soft blankets they had in every room. Lots of nice touches throughout. Definitely felt like home. House is in a great location. Close enough to everything in Williams Bay, Lake Geneva, Delevan and Elkhorn. In a nice neighborhood, felt safe. We even seen a deer walk right down the road. Truly cannot wait to book this property again. Would like to try it in every season. You will not be disappointed. House is great for all. Families, with littles too.

A perfect home in a perfect location. The home had everything that we hope for. within walking distance to restaurants and shops.
