Briarwood Serenity at Abbey Springs – Quiet 4 BDR!
Summary: Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee on your deck or strolling through manicured pathways with the beauty of Lake Geneva as an ever-present backdrop, your vacation to Briarwood Serenity at Abbey Springs will be nothing short of picture-perfect.
The Space: The attractive community of Abbey Springs is renowned for its stunning lakefront location, providing breathtaking views that change with the seasons and an abundance of amenities such as a private beach, pools, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, and onsite dining venues. By zipping around on the complimentary golf cart, you’ll find navigating from destination to destination a literal breeze. The heart of the community is the championship golf course, a meticulously designed haven for golf enthusiasts. Immerse yourself in the lush greenery and challenging fairways while enjoying the fresh lake breeze – a golfer's paradise with a view! Beyond the home, you will also be conveniently located for easy day and evening trips to the charming nearby village of Fontana-On-Geneva-Lake, a popular destination for tourists and locals alike with its boutique shopping, numerous eateries, and outdoor recreation experiences.
The home’s bright and airy open floor plan will be your retreat for relaxation as well as connectivity, with enough room for everyone to spread out and find their own cozy corner. Vaulted ceilings and large windows help to illuminate the space in natural light, keeping the picturesque outdoors front and center. Sink into plush sofa seating in the living room to stream your favorite episodes on the smart TV, the fireplace keeping you warm and toasty in the cooler months. The dining room table with seating for 6 is the perfect venue for mealtimes or a spontaneous game night. The modern kitchen showcases full sized appliances, granite counters, and ample cabinetry stocked with cookware and dining ware. Steps away, you’ll be back out on the home’s private balcony where you can grill up a delicious barbeque lunch or enjoy a meal al fresco. If you’re seeking some quiet time away from the group, a second living area on the home’s lower level supplies its own comfy sofa, smart TV, and fireplace where you can curl up to watch a movie or turn the pages of a new book.

Nice
Our stay was pleasant overall, but we feel a few small improvements would make a big difference. The kitchen utensils were in need of an upgrade, and the location of the grill on the lower level was not convenient for cooking. Daily construction on the unit next door (7am to 6pm) were noisy, especially early morning. This unit is a great location for us to get out on the water every day and avoid the noise.

Briarwood Serenity
Property was well maintained and had all the amenities and things that we tend to forget. (Beach chairs, life jacket for child). Communication with the hosts was excellent.
Would recommend, and would revisit this property in the future.

Amazing
The interior was adequate. The bathrooms were stellar. The exterior of the porch was untidy with spider webs. Should have been power washed. The exterior porch was filthy. I swept it when I first got there. The lower level sliding glass door was broken. The downstairs TV did not work. We were inconvenienced with a broken refrigerator. They did supply two small ones. Then there was the delivery. Who wants to get away and have to deal with that? The carpeting on the stairs were dirty in spots. The entire home could stand a thorough cleaning. The home did not live up to what the rental fee was. Truly overpriced.
