We loved staying at this charming historic home. We parked our car in the driveway when we arrived and didn’t have to use it the entire weekend because everything we wanted to do was an easy walk away! The house was very clean, a comfortable, and welcoming. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the shady front porch.

Girl's weekend
The house was very clean and accommodating. Everything was just as expected. We loved the location for its proximity to downtown and restaurants. A couple of suggestions: a mirror in each of the bedrooms would be helpful as having only 2 bathrooms for 6 women was challenging. Also one more comfy chair in the living room would be nice. These are not criticisms, but only suggestions. Overall we would return to the house and would recommend it to friends.

Great walkable location! And great covered porch!
Lake Geneva owners might warn property owners about metered parking downtown. Then two of us would not have started our vacation with $30 parking tickets. Our stay was great. The property manager was very responsive. We would come again.

Beautiful Historic Home in Perfect Location
PROS: - The home is stocked with necessities (toiletries, beach blankets, camping chairs, filtered water) and thoughtful perks (drinks, snacks, gift cards to local businesses). - The management company is terrific. - The home is perfectly located. A block from the main drag, across the street from a playground, tennis and basketball court. - It's a stunner of a historical home. - Beds are comfy, linens clean and solid quality. - In nice weather, you’ll want to spend a lot of time on the porch. Not only does it catch the lake breeze, but there is a ceiling fan above it to circulate air. CONS I tend to rubber stamp homes when it comes time to rate them. But prices of sites like this one have skyrocketed as have rental prices in the Lake Geneva area. It’s important that we renters offer kind yet honest reviews. - Like many historical homes, this one is not friendly to anyone with mobility issues. Back and front steps are uneven and don’t offer safe railings. The bathroom toilets are both very low and shower tubs have no grab bar. - The dining room table (pictured in the listing) only fits four people and two of the sides have drawers, making it hard to fit legs underneath. With 5 people, we realized meals would be impossible. Thankfully, the management company brought a folding table that fit 6 the next day. - Overhead lighting in the living room, dining room and kitchen is weak. All in all, you will get great service from the management company and owners.

Family
The house was wonderful. I live in a older home and love the quirkiness of older homes. They have interest and charm. But, at the same time have up to date kitchen and bathrooms. My sons and I lived in Lake Geneva 35 years ago and to some extent it was like coming home. The house helped with that experience. In addition, I spent hours on the front porch. I would stay there again.

Gem of a house in Lake Geneva
Fantastic location, so close to downtown Lake Geneva! The house was great and had all the amenities we needed, worked perfectly for our family. Nice extra touch were the amazing pastries and gift cards to local places. Loved the porch and sitting area. Definitely would stay again!

Great Location!
We had a wonderful time here in the fall of 2021. We had a girls weekend and loved the location to restaurants and shops that are just a few blocks away. We didn’t have to drive the entire time we were there! They also had an amazing gift basket with local goodies. It made us feel welcomed. We’ll be back!
