We loved this property!
My husband and I, our adult daughter, son, DIL and 19 month old grandson spent nine nights at this perfect cottage in Delavan Lake, Wisconsin.
The home is immaculate and very thoughtfully provisioned. Chargers in outlets, white noise machines and blackout curtains and hangars in bedrooms, enough toilet paper, paper towels, laundry and dishwasher pods, k cups, etc., to get you started. (You’ll need to bring shower soap and shampoo.) The decor is the perfect lake vibe. Blues and whites and natural fabrics. Lots of comfy places to sit and lounge, both inside and out.
We had a 19 month old with us and the place was perfect for him! There’s a crib, changing table, and high chair inside, along with a booster seat, tub seat, potty seat, and even a step stool for the bathroom! Best of all, there were tons of high quality toys. Our grandson played in the outside “house” every day, and spent happy hours on the deck building Lego towers and driving around a truck. There were also games for the adults. A great set up.
The large deck was wonderful. A terrific propane grill, a huge table and comfy chairs, with a large articulating umbrella to provide shade for the hours when the direction of the sun didn’t. Plus it is gated, so little ones can’t get out!
The yard is large and beautiful. Sunsets every night were gorgeous, either from the deck or hammock or from hanging around the fire pit before roasting s’mores. The dock was great, too. The lake at this time of year is pretty grassy v6 the shore, so not good swimming, but twice we rented a pontoon boat from the marina across the lake, and drove it over to the dock to pick up the family. There’s a large lily pad kept in the shed, that we put on the pontoon and hooked up to the boat and tossed over when we anchored in the middle of the lake.
Nice kitchen, large refrigerator, toaster oven, microwave, oven, and a great LG washer/dryer tower help make the vacation a breeze. You can walk to a couple of small parks, and to a casual bar/restaurant with very decent food. Otherwise, driving into Delavan or Lake Geneva or Williams Bay was very easy. (Tip: set your Waze or Google Maps at the house before leaving; tough to get reception in some areas!)
The owner was great. Wonderfully warm and immediately responsive.
In summary, we can’t say enough good things about this rental. I’d rent it again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to others!
