Two floor, 7 room condominium in Abbey Springs (in Fontana on Geneva Lake). Great for a family vacation! This condominium is walking distance to the the best lake in Wisconsin. The lake is big (27 miles of shoreline) and clean (rock bottom...most Wisconsin lakes are sand or dirt bottom...yuk!), and this lake has a nightlife (I suggest Chuck's, or Gordy's for the younger crowd). You will also find 4 star golf in Abbey Springs, or several other golf courses within a short drive (Grand Geneva, Geneva National, etc.)

Nearly everyting in this condo is new. It was rehabed in 2006. Also, we are in the furniture business, so we have furnished this condo with all high end furniture.

First floor: Full Kitchen (new fridge & microwave July 2007), full bath, TV room with large leather sectional and porch.

Map & Owner's Profile
Fontana on Geneva Lake(Abbey Springs) - Lake Access
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Fontana
I purchased this vacation rental because I grew up spending summer weekends in/around Geneva Lake. There really is not better way to "do" Geneva Lake than Abbey Springs. This private community has EVERYTHING! Plus, this side of the lake is WAAAAY better then the east side over by the town of Lake Geneva and all the riff-raff over there.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
Park you car, because once you get to Abbey Springs, you don't need it anymore. Abbey Springs has everything...restaurants, golf, private beach, swimming pools, tennis courts, fishing pond.... all within walking distance. The only reason to leave.... got to get over to Chuck's for some Transfusions (the house cocktail over at Chuck's Lakeside Inn).
Up at the lake? You have to get over to here for a Chuck's burger and a Tansfusion (cocktail).
Owner's Map of Fontana
I was born and raised in Chicago, but spend most summer weekends in Lake Geneva...and most of that time is spent on my boat. I purchased this property a couple of years ago and use the rentals to help pay for all the expenses. Rented or not, I'm usually around the weekends...at my parents house (right up the street) when the condo is rented, or here when it is free.
