Beautiful

The property was nice. Key pad was easy to use and straight forward. Everything we needed was waiting for us. The porch out front was our favorite spot! We sat out there for hours with coffee or drinks and just enjoyed the surroundings! Beds were comfortable. Overall a really nice place!

Great location, difficult check-in

The property is in a great location, the beds are comfortable, house is clean. Check-in process was unreasonably difficult and involved going to the woman who lives on the other connected side of the house. Property manager provided 1 beach pass for our troubles (there were 4 of us). Not a great start to the vacation. Luckily we were using the house for overflow guests for a larger family reunion so we were not there much.

The Bay House is so charming!

The Bay House was wonderful- so charming! The front porch is the perfect place to relax/enjoy a meal, and the beautiful plants. The bedrooms were perfectly sized for our 2 daughters. There is a wonderful ice cream shop just steps away from the house. And less than 10 minute walk to get to the beach. We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Holly Leitner

Hello! I am a fifth generation Lake Geneva resident and I began hosting in 2016. It is my passion to share my love of this area and create perfect soul-nourishing retreats for my guests. I am lucky to call this area home and enjoy the four seasons and abundance of natural areas. I am happy to help you with any planning tips to make it a great getaway!

Why they chose this property

It's the better side of Geneva Lake. You get to live like a local - walk to the restaurants, beach, bars, parks, hiking trails and avoid the touristy crowds of Lake Geneva. Williams Bay is hallmark small town living, quaint, yet just a hop away from it all.
