About this property

Lake Geneva Area Lakeside Retreat! Close to Golf, Shopping, Restaurants & More!

Be ‘Oar’ Guest! On the shores of Lake Como, this inviting 1BR/1BA couple's retreat is centrally located and offers you activities in all directions. Recently updated, this 2nd floor condo is the perfect home base for those who want to get out and explore all that the Lake Geneva area has to offer as well as those who prefer to simply sit back and enjoy a drink by the pool. Whatever your vacation desires are...plan them here.

Step inside and you're on "lake time". The living space is open and airy with many natural finishes. Sit by the fireplace and plan your day or play a game of Scrabble. The cheerful kitchen may inspire you to stay in and cook. The king bedroom is moody and luxurious. Perhaps the best of all is the balcony with serene views of lawn, pool, and lovely Lake Como itself. There is no doubt that you will feel right at home and leave refreshed.

There is so much to do in the Lake Geneva area...where do you begin? For our outdoorsy types there is the Geneva Lake Shore path which allows you to explore the entirety of the beautiful lake and its surrounding historic mansions. Foodies will love all the great local bites and sips...and did we mention coffee houses? Great golfing, shopping, festivals, spas, boat tours, zip-lining, museums, bike paths, wineries, theatre...honestly, the list goes on and on. In fact, you may have to BE 'OAR' GUEST again and again to experience it all! We welcome you and will be available to answer all of your questions and help you plan your perfect Lake Geneva Escape.

Weekend wedding getaway

My partner and I stayed here for the weekend for a long wedding event. It was very centrally located to everywhere we needed to be and just a few short minutes to downtown lake Geneva. There is a restaurant on the property near the lake and their breakfast was wonderful. The property was everything we could’ve wanted for our stay.

Just perfect!

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was lovely and very clean. Communication with the host, Julie was quick and effective. The condo is walkable to bars and restaurants and a quick drive to Lake Geneva, Delavan and Williams Bay. We loved sitting on the balcony with a cup of coffee in the morning or a drink in the evening. We will definitely come back.

Perfect Mother-Daughter weekend here!

We loved this place so much! It felt like home away from home for us but also still "on vacation." The renter had beautiful decor, including a painting in the bathroom that I noticed she painted herself! Attention to detail is here, and there is everything you need to cook a meal and feel at home. Perfect distance from good places to eat on Lake Como, shopping and activities in Lake Geneva, and a pool onsite that we could walk to. Beautiful views and nice quiet area. Thanks so much for making this weekend work for us, and answering all of our questions! More than exceeded our expectations!

Weekend getaway

Tim and Julie’s condo was exactly what we wanted for our weekend getaway. The location was perfect for us- away from the bustling downtown Lake Geneva, but only a quick 8 minute drive when we wanted to head to town. The area is quiet but the pool was pretty busy. Get there early on a Saturday afternoon if you want ti get a lounge chair. Quiet hours at night are a huge plus. The condo itself was exactly as listed. Very cute and roomy place on the second floor (top floor). It had all the comforts of home. The balcony is great- you can kind of see the lake, but there are a few big trees that mostly obstruct the view (probably not so much in the winter) but it was still really pretty. We loved everything about it. Tim and Julie are quick to respond to any questions and were very nice to work with. Highly recommend.
