The location was fantastic, one block off of Main street and all that Lake Geneva has to offer. Carol and Bill were great hosts and provided clear instructions leading up to and during our stay. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed for our family of five. The only call-outs were that the heat was not working in one of the bedrooms so we were unable to use it, and all three bedrooms have french doors with thin blinds that do not provide much separation/privacy from the main living room.

My family and I had a wonderful stay. Bill and Carol are the nicest people you could hope for. The cottage has a great open floor plan, perfect for being with family and was equipped with everything we could need. I grew up in the area but hadn’t been back in a long time. Bill and Carol were great at filling us in with the best places to eat and have a great time. The location is perfect—right in the heart of everything and within walking distance to the lake. We ended up taking advantage of a free night that they offer with weekend stays in the fall months. We hope to be back someday soon.

The host was super friendly and greeted us when we arrived. He even left us some root beer and beer in the fridge to welcome us. The flowers outside were very inviting. The interior of the house was very bright and fresh. We loved how spacious the kitchen was. The shower was amazing -- especially the volume of water from the shower head. Although there were plenty of windows bringing in natural light, the paper blinds made it hard to sleep at night and also made for an early wake up due to the sun coming through the windows/blinds. I suggest to replace the paper blinds with room darkening blinds of some sort in the bedrooms. One more thing that was disappointing was that it was not disclosed to us that the exterior needed major work. There was a tarp covering the roof.

Perfect location, beautiful property!

We have a group of 6 (4 adults, 2 young children) staying at Bill and Carol’s property. Upon arriving, the hosts were very communicative about parking and entering the house. Everything was very clean and towels were well stocked. It was nice to feel comfortable letting my baby crawl around and not worry about dirty floors! Beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were lovely. There were 2 great outside seating areas - 1 was perfect for people watching and the other was a little more private in the back. Very close to town, great shopping, a brewery, really good coffee, and just a few minute walk down the street to the beach. Bill and Carol were wonderful to chat with and know a lot about the area. It was apparent that a lot of love was put into updating the house!

Cozy, clean and Hospitable!

It was a short but sweet stay and perfect for what we needed. The house had just enough space for 7 and had a nice dining room table where we had meals, played games and cards. The location is ideal as it really is a block or so from downtown. We appreciated the special touches like having condiments, spices and a few things that is always forgotten and did not have to buy. Bill and Carol are gracious and helpful. Great property for being downtown in Lake Geneva.

Very easy walk to the cute downtown shopping area and even to the water. And the owners were super friendly and easy to work with. We are already thinking about coming back next year, and we would definitely stay here again.
