The Unique Benefits at this House
It's the perfect destination and distance to travel from Chicago. After leaving after rush hour and pulling in the driveway 1 1/2 hours later we are always able to make the Friday night fish Fry with plenty of time to spare. The house, located on the wooded south shore, is ideal for relaxing and watching nature or if the need arises for some day or night fun - you are only five minutes from downtown Lake Geneva or Fontana. It offers the best of both worlds; peace and quiet at home and with many activities and nightlife nearby.
Our favorite country store, where you can pick up any of those forgotten items on your vaction. They also offer fishing guide services. Just ask for John.
Linn Pier offers boat launching, a small beach for kids to swim and play and fishing right off the dock.
Owned by a couple originally from Illinois, our favorite watering hole is perfect for a game of pool, a bacon pizza, or watching your favorite chicago sporting teams.
Play 18 holes while the kids go to the beach. Must call ahead for reservations. 1 Country Club Drive Fontana, WI 53125 (262) 275-6111
Daily Wine Tastings and wines for sale with owner and proprietor David Biegeman
Two great restaurants. Chucks is perfect for docking your boat and walking in with your swim trunks and flip flops for a great burger. Gordy's located next store is great for a nice sitdown lunch
Owner's Map of Lake Geneva
My family and I grew up vacationing in Northern Illinois and Wisconsin, but over time as resorts closed we found it incredibly difficult to find a place where the family could get together and bring our pets. Ever since we visited Lake Geneva 20 years ago, we've been going back to vacation as often as we can. As our family grew, we also found Lake Geneva to be the perfect place to take the kids. They couldn't get enough of the lake and all the fun area activities. They were amazed the first time we took them horse back riding and skiing on the lake - they said, "Cool, it's like having our very own gigantic playground!" There was no question we had to invest in our own "Near the Lake Home", and we’re confident you’ll enjoy the area as much as we have.

There is a group of us, in our mid to upper 20's, who rent lake houses every year. We rented this house for our fifth year, and it was by far the best! Not only was the house spotless and supplied every utensil and product we'd ever need, it was beautiful and accomodated us perfectly! We loved taking advantage of the cornhole game (my boyfriend gave an extra thumbs up to them being Bears boards:) ), the hammock and the fire pit. The house was easy to find and was centrally located to all the places we wanted to go to. Not only was the house great, but Brent was a pleasure to do business with. He was responsive throughout the entire process and answered all of my questions promptly. I also received my deposit back within a week of our visit. I'd recommend this house to all kinds of groups and we will definitely be back next year. Thanks again, Brent!

We had a girls weekend at this cabin. It was great! Good location, you can walk to the lake. Only a 5 minute drive into town. The place was spotless. The kitchen was filled with lots of cooking supplies so you can cook all your meals there. The best part was with 8 people showering, we never ran out of hot water! There is a nice outdoor patio and big back yard to enjoy the day outside. If you are looking for a nice weekend getaway, stay at this place. We enjoyed walking around town and renting a boat in the afternoon. Lots of great activities to be had in Lake Geneva.

We rented this home for a couples weekend of skiing and snowmobiling. Unfortunately, the unusual weather brought rain and melted snow, so we spent much more time enjoying the house than we planned to. The house is stocked with movies and boardgames. We also decided to cook indoors and had plenty of cooking utensils and cookware. This beautiful home made our potentially disasterous weekend great! I loved the fireplace especially, the owner kept plenty of wood on hand. The home owner is friendly, helpful, and even made great recommendations for things for us to do after I asked. I would definitely rent this place again in the future.

Review Submitted: 03/23/11
We had a wonderful weekend in this home. It was clean and had updated decor and appliances. It is convenient to all the attractions of Lake Geneva, but secluded enough to have peace and quiet. The beds were as comfortable as our own at home. The bathrooms were very clean. The kitchen had everything we needed. It was cozy and comfortable. The owner provided good communication and was very accommodating.

Roomy, clean and well maintained home on a large property owned by a very cordial individual. Bike riding, golf sightseeing, restaurants hiking around the lake and shopping only minutes away from this location. It was Octoberfest weekend in Lake Geneva and couldn't have had a better time. 26th year of our group taking a long weekend in either Michigan and Wisconsin and this is one of our favorites!!! Will definitely make reservations here again.

Beautifully remodeled interior

Review Submitted: 07/06/10
This property is very well maintained and has a charming, not-quite-rustic but warm-looking interior. There is plenty of space, nice furniture and a new kitchen that really makes the stay even better. The area is quiet and about 1/4 mile from a Lake Geneva (South shore) boat launch ramp. A small convenience store is within easy walking distance. The owner was very helpful and cooperative. It's just a few minutes from the town of Lake Geneva. The lake itself is a delight. (Tip: avoid the Scuttlebutt Restaurant in Lake Geneva for breakfast. Expensive and service is s l o w. 1/2 hour wait to be seated and the restaurant not especially crowded; 20 minutes to be served bacon/egg breakfast)
