It was the perfect location and house for a girls weekend away. The owner was very responsive and anticipated every question I had before I even knew I had the question. Highly recommend.
Bayside Hideaway was just perfect for our sisters getaway! It was close to everything we wanted to do and was was nice and quite when we wanted away from the all the excitement of Lake Geneva.
Beautifully decorated comfortable cottage.. we enjoyed our stay and location is a big plus! Will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful stay. Everything was clean, well stocked, and a perfect location. We had a little trouble with the WiFi staying connected and we needed to work while visiting, but other than that, everything was 5 stars!

Nancy, I am so happy you and your family enjoyed your stay! And it pleases me that you enjoyed those amenities as I wanted to make sure everyone felt like they were at home. You were fabulous guests and I would love to have you back again in the future!
We had a wonderful stay over New Years. The house is very clean, well appointed. The hot tub and comfy living room was a great touch. The home is in a perfect location for walking to Williams Bay or a quick drive to Lake Geneva for amazing restaurants. Charlotte is very attentive to her renters with great communications. Highly recommend!

I'm delighted that you celebrated and enjoyed the New Year with us! It was a pleasure to host you and would love to have you back again!
We loved the hot tub and used it every night. The upstairs rooms were okay, but the doorways were really low, so a bit difficult to get through for some. Would stay again.

Glad you enjoyed the hot tub and your time there. It was a pleasure to host you ladies. Would love to have you back again!
Bayside Hideaway is a charming cottage in a quiet location hosted by a very responsive host, Charlotte. I was there for an extended visit and got to know the place well. The furnishings are well selected and very comfortable, especially the beds. It's an easy walk to the center of the Village of Williams Bay and to the beach. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.

We absolutely love Bayside Hideaway. There is so much about this place we love:
Cleanliness, amenities, plush towels, comfortable beds, decor, very clear instructions throughout the house, and the owner’s responsiveness before and during our stay. The location is quiet and close to everything. The outside is peaceful and the hot tub was wonderful. We hope to be back again soon!

Charlotte’s home was cozy, comfy and well appointed - a perfect home base for our first time exploring Lake Geneva/Williams Bay. Charlotte was so helpful in planning our outings - tons of great info in the guest binder AND she went above and beyond with additional info for us. The hot tub was easy to use and oh so relaxing. 100% will book again!

It was an absolute pleasure to host you! Love to have you back again!
This property was just as hoped for! Exceptionally clean and cozy with ease of check in and thorough and readily accessible instructions for use of all amenities. The hot tub was nice and very easy to use. The kitchen fully stocked with all needed cooking implements. The bed very comfortable. Host Charlotte was responsive to questions, friendly, and you can tell that the property is a labor of love for her. Would definitely recommend to others and stay there again!
We really enjoyed our time at your very charming cottage. Spending more time indoors during those two hot days we had we enjoyed cooled by your great air conditioner. It was a delightful retreat with all the trees and flowers visible from the many windows and comfy chairs. The days we spent on the deck with our dinner or just relaxing and reading are still in my mind as a perfect place to be. We both said we haven’t slept that well in a long time or relaxed like that for that matter.
We hope to visit you again soon. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your positive review! It was a pleasure to host you and I value your patronage and input. I tried to make sure to put a lot of effort into ensuring that everyone who finds my cottage, is as comfortable as possible and has a restful night's sleep. You were great guests and I hope you return again!
Such a lovely place to stay, just out of reach to the crazy that can be Downtown Lake Geneva, but close enough to enjoy. Very clean, very organized and would recommend this place for any type of stay.
