Perfect Weekend Spot

In my opinion, the pictures do not do this place justice. The property is incredible and very quiet. The house is huge, with a lot of beds and places to sleep, and the bar is an awesome touch. Very welcoming and clean. Close enough to Lake Geneva, but far enough away for quiet nights. We spent the day in the sun in the yard and porch drinking beers and playing games, and the bon fire was a great night cap. I would very much recommend this place. Thank you for being a great host, we all very much appreciate it!

Great home!

This house was great! It had more than enough room for all 8 of us. Enjoyed several competitive games and hearing my adult children laugh was music to our ears while they conquered the ping pong table! The home was very peaceful and just what my group needed after the awesome George Strait concert in Milwaukee. We highly recommend staying here and would definitely stay in the peacefulness that this home offers again!

Wedding weekend

Location is secluded via a private driveway and very close to lake. Beautiful view of property, pastures, field it was very peaceful. Horses out to pasture out front in the morning. The home is sprawling with lots of space, multi level. I It has a sunken living room, a bar room, dining area that fits 10. The home was super clean, ample towels and blankets. Beautiful deck, area to play bags and have a fire. The hosts were very nice and responsive. We would stay here again.

Spacious Home with a View

This house was probably the most comfortable place we have ever stayed with our large family! We were all able to spread out and just truly enjoy our time together in the area! The views from the patio are stunning and the owner even brought his horses to the front pasture each day to graze! The cleanliness and thoughtful touches were extraordinary! We would love to stay here again when in the area!

Great Getaway

We had an amazing time staying here! We had a group of women for my sister’s bachelorette party getaway weekend. The listing pictures do not do the house a justice! I did not expect the unique layout and all the space we had! The property owner also provided so many little things that made our stay amazing, and even had a gesture for the bride to be! The owner has obviously put some time into updating the property inside the house, and the view outside the house is amazing! The property is a great place to hang out as we did the first night, but is also close to the activities in the Lake Geneva area that we had planned without being stuck in town. With much of our group being family, we have already talked about the possibility of using the property as a place to have a family gathering for a holiday or a get away!
