Or hit the links at Geneva National 5 minutes away. Explore nearby Lake Geneva. Or mosey over to Pearce’s Farm Stand for grilling fare. At sunset, stroll along the quiet lake street to The Village Supper Club. Then, relax around the gas fire pit before heading off to bed.

ABOUT PIP'S COTTAGE Accommodates 5 guest MAXIMUM
"My wife & I stayed here before our wedding day. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The cottage is beautiful & was an amazing sleep. I would move in if I could! We loved it & it was a great start to our marriage." ~ Benj R
BELIEVE IT OR NOT... this open, airy space was once a milking house for cows! Thankfully, the beasts were banished long ago. Today, Pip's Cottage is a tasteful blend of contemporary, vintage aesthetics, modern conveniences & thoughtful details.
THE COTTAGE IS EQUIPPED FOR OPTIMAL USE & COMFORT. Washing machine & drier available for 2 week stays or more. For full amenity enlightenment, read our listing carefully (all the links & photos too).
THE OPEN LAYOUT FEELS QUITE SPACIOUS, but the bedrooms are close together. People requiring distance from their companions come bedtime, may want to keep this in mind. While all our guests love their time in Pip's Cottage, 2 adults or families with young children report the coziest stays.
5 GUEST MAXIMUM. Per neighborhood rules.
NO PARTIES & 10pm QUIET TIME. The fish (and our neighbors) need their beauty sleep.
SORRY, NO PETS (Though we love looking at photos of your pets doing cute stuff!)
NO SMOKING Try Churchill's across the lake (We hear it's fun!)
EXTRA PARKING $50 Cash per car/per day. Message to reserve in advance.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Anthony! You were five-star guests in every way, and you left our home in great shape—we truly appreciate it. And thank you for mentioning how clean Agnes & Chris of WellManaged Hub keep Pip’s Cottage. They truly are the secret to our success! It was wonderful meeting you both, and we were so happy to host you during your weekend of gaming. We hope the dice rolled in your favor, the adventures were unforgettable, and the only dragons you encountered stayed on the game table! We'd be thrilled to host you again anytime you're back in town. After all… you’re part of The Three Lakes Farm Family now!
Wow! What a pleasant surprise. Our stay exceeded all of our expectations. Donna and Bryan are magnificent hosts that made us feel welcome the second we got there. The cottage was immaculate and had everything we could possibly need and more. Whether you're there in the summer to enjoy the lake or looking to get cozy in the winter, Pip's cottage will not disappoint.

Thank you so much for the kind words, Todd! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay and felt right at home. It was a pleasure hosting you and meeting you as well. We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime. You're part of The Three Lakes Family Now!
Pip's Cottage has become part of our anniversary trip. We have come to the Lake Geneva area ever since my wife and I got married. The first few years we stayed at different places (Grand Geneva, the Abbey etc) but once we found Pips Cottage we havent stayed anywhere else since. Now we come with our two girls, and they love it too. The house is clean, there is coffee in the kitchen and tools you need to cook with. The location is perfect, with easy access to Fontana Beach and the town of Lake Geneva. Bryan and Donna are great hosts and make us feel welcome and appreciated. See you next year!

Words cannot express how lucky we feel to have your lovely family return to stay with us every year, Patrick. It is, indeed, a true pleasure and an honor to have all of you as a part of our Three Lakes Farm Family. Thank you for being such wonderful people. We look forward to seeing you again next year. Cheers!
Cutest cottage ever!! I highly recommend if you are traveling with a larger group to rent out Pip's Cottage along with the farm house - they are on the same property! Donna and Bryan are amazing hosts and this property is close to everything - although in a tranquil country setting. I highly recommend and will be coming back!

Trish, thank you for the two lovely reviews. And thank you, your family and your friends for reminding us that the best vacations aren't always about perfect conditions, they're about the people you share them with. We'd be thrilled to welcome you back... preferably with fewer fallen trees in the neighborhood and a lot more sunshine… but do come back. We adored having you. You’re all part of The Three Lakes Farm Family now!
Pip’s Cottage was even more charming than the photos show!!! We enjoyed our stay. Donna & Bryan’s communication prior to our visit was spectacular; friendly and very informative in a VERY inviting manner. The cottage was extremely clean with all the information needed for a comfortable stay.We met Bryan on our way out and our conversation was as if we were old friends. We would highly recommend this property (and its sister property) to anyone visiting Delavan/Lake Geneva/Walworth area as well as anyone needing “spill over” accommodations while visiting family in the area. We’ll look forward to staying again. Next time, we will definitely build in time to enjoy ALL of the property; nature, bonfire!!!

Stacy & Denny, your review absolutely made our day! We may have read it more than once...okay, definitely more than once. Thank you for noticing all the little things that go into creating a relaxing stay; from our communication before you arrived to the cozy details waiting for you at Pip's Cottage. And the sparkling clean cottage? That's all thanks to our amazing cleaning dream team, Agnes & Chris from WellManaged Hub. We think they're the best in Wisconsin, and we're pretty sure your review confirms it! Bryan really enjoyed meeting you before you headed home. Conversations like that are one of the reasons we love hosting; it feels less like a business and more like making new friends. We're honored that you recommended both Pip's Cottage and The Three Lakes Farmhouse to others visiting the area. That means the world to us. Now you'll just have to come back so you can relax by the fire pit and enjoy our beautiful Wisconsin nature. After all, you're part of The Three Lakes Farm family now, and family is always welcome back.
The hosts made our stay an absolute pleasure from the moment we arrived. A personal note and gift to start with. The cottage was so well kept and everything was so tastefully done and thought out to make the stay comfortable and relaxing. It was a pleasure to meet the hosts, Donna and Bryan. I wish I had more time to chat with them - Wonderful people with a wonderful farmstead. We will definitely stay again if back in the area.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us for your Anniversary, Debra & Matt! It was a pleasure having you here. You were the perfect guests. We would love to have you back again & again & again... You're part of The Three Lakes Family now. Cheers!
From start to finish the hosts were very quick to respond to any questions or concerns via email. We met them upon our arrival and they let us know they would be around if we needed anything. They left us a kringle in the fridge along with waters. We are definitely going to go back there as it is a quiet relaxing space. They also have a farmhouse which we would love to rent w friends. Give them a try! Jenny

we were in town for my niece's wedding at LaRoque farms so this was the perfect location and just a charming cottage. Also close to the Village Supper club where we had dinner one night. Beautiful grounds and nice to walk along the lake front looking at all the lovely homes in the area.

About the host
Hosted by Donna & Bryan
They say you can never go home again, but that’s exactly what we did. After stumbling upon this unique farm property, hidden behind giant oak trees, across the street from Delavan Lake, we packed up our city life & returned to the serene, laidback lifestyle of our childhood. A lifestyle we're happy to share with you on Three Lakes Farm at Delavan Lake.
Why they chose this property
Our close proximity to all 3 lakes - Delavan (across the street), Como (6 mins) & Geneva (8 mins) - is how 3 Lakes Farm earned its name.
Easy access to County F, Townhall Rd & County H, make avoiding summer traffic a breeze. And all of the areas best things to do, see & eat are a quick walk or drive away; including: Community Beach, Boat Wrangler's, The Village Supper Club, Lake Lawn Lodge, Geneva National Golf Course, Belfry Music Theater, Riga-Tony’s authentic Chicago deli, Pearce's Farm Stand, Mars Supper Club & more. This gives Three Lakes Farm an advantage over properties located further down S. Shore Drive & the North side of the lake.
Best of all, our 4 spacious acres allows for privacy, room to run & play, ample parking & wildlife sitings. Locals often tell us what a beautiful property we have & they can’t believe they’ve never noticed it before. It's a true hidden gem. We feel confident you’ll agree.
What makes this property unique
3 Lakes Farm is the last remnant of a 10 acre dairy farm located across the street from Delavan Lake. The farm stayed in the original family for years before being sold off bit by bit. Today, only 4 acres remain of what used to be a fully operational dairy farm surrounded by dense woods & a handful of tiny, summer cottages.
Built in 1910, the house & barn are a classic example of the Gambrel style architecture commonly found in areas of the country populated by people from the Netherlands & Germany. Before being converted into an adorable, cedar trimmed tiny home in the 1950s, the cottage functioned as a milking house for the cows.
After extensive updates in 2023, we named the cottage after our 4 lb. Yorkie who loved living there for a bit while we converted the barn into our main living space. During the fall & winter months, Pip spent her days looking out the bedroom window at the lake. She recommends you do the same during your stay.
