Charming, well-appointed cottage in the perfect location one block from beautiful Lake Geneva

My family stayed for a month at this perfect cottage in July. The location in easy-going Williams Bay and decor reminded me of old-fashion summers spent fishing and swimming and passing time under the sun-kissed sky. We walked everywhere and enjoyed wine tasting and great coffee at the Green Grocer/Steamers, and dinner at the numerous restaurants around the area - Johnathon's on Brick Street in Delavan is excellent. The house has everything you need for hosting family and cooking meals. Plenty of sleeping arrangements for adults and kids - family-friendly! Laundry is located on the lower level. There are 2 refrigerators (1 on the upper level and 1 below). The screened-in porch (view of lake in distance) is lovely with the fan and seating arrangements. Plenty of parking for multiple cars too as we had college-aged kids coming and going. The beach path is lovely and we walked to Fontana one day and around the bay another time. The air-conditioning in July was wonderful too, worked on both levels very well. We would stay again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful home

We had a wonderful stay at this property. All the rooms were clean and spacious. The WiFi had some issues but were addressed. All in all a great place to rent and I already miss the wildlife that visited each evening.

Quiet, Beautiful, Relaxing

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The home and area were exactly what we were hoping for and needed. This home is comfortable, clean, charming, and in a wonderful location. Plenty of things to do! The kitchen had everything we needed, bedrooms were comfortable, and the lower level provides privacy for additional family members or guests. The owner was extremely responsive and easy to work. We can't wait to come back!

Perfect in Every Way

We rented the house for one month. Our two grown children/spouses and their children (ages 9-16) cycled in and out from the Chicago area as their schedules allowed. It was perfect for the two of us, yet handled three generations nicely. The house is in a great location, one block from Lake Geneva. The neighborhood association has two piers with a raft and diving board that we were able to use. The kids LOVED it. The house has been renovated and is charming, well-appointed, and well-cared for. Large-scaled rooms, high ceilings, dining table for 10 and a large screened in porch that overlooks an association park and has peeks at the lake. Very nicely furnished and comfortable mattresses and linens. A smallish, but nice, kitchen with plenty of dishes/cookware and a Weber gas grill (with extra propane tank) for our use. The house has two-zone central HVAC and we needed it, as it was unusually hot during our visit. Our only issue was that having the oven and burners going and lots of cooks in the kitchen made for some warm dinner prep. The house was stocked with beach towels, chairs, and lake toys for our enjoyment. Our host, Christian, was available and ready and willing to make our stay perfect. The 30-day rental requirement ensures that the neighborhood retains it's character of property owners, not short-term renters. The neighbors were very friendly and welcoming. We rented a boat for two weeks and launched it at the Williams Bay boat launch. When the parking lot was full, one person drove the car and trailer back to the house and walked to the pier while the other brought the boat alongside our pier. Definitely a positive, as parking can be very difficult on the weekends. We were able to change crew at the end of the pier, but were not able to "tie up". This was not a surprise, nor a problem. The terms of "lake use" were clearly spelled out. Actually, due to the "Lake Geneva Chop", as it's called, the lake can get very rough and you wouldn't want to tie up anyway. The driveway easily accommodated the boat trailer and three cars. Just a note - the bunk room is on the home's lower level, which is accessible from the outside only. Our teens LOVED it. They thought of it as their own space and liked getting away from their parents and grandparents at the end of the day. Lots of wonderful memories. Thank you Christian for making your lovely home available to us.
