If you're planning to rent a lake home in Southern Wisconsin, then Lake Geneva is the spot for you. The second deepest lake in the state, Lake Geneva is nine miles in length and three miles at its widest point. Lake Geneva is well-known for its clean water and gorgeous beaches so don't HESITATE to plan a Wisconsin trip during the year's hotter months!
Our house is located on the south shore of lake Geneva and is a five minute drive southwest of downtown Lake Geneva and five minute drive southeast from downtown Fontana. The house is part of a cozy, quiet community filled with mature trees, and it is not uncommon to see the many deers, owls, turkeys, and wild birds sitting in our yard.
A two-story cedar-shingled exterior and a three year old completely remodeled interior features a new kitchen with stainless appliances and granite counters, stone boulder fireplace, stone baths, sun room with slate floor, cherry bead board, and timber loft ceilings and wood floors throughout. The home includes antique and vintage furnishings and decorations. You are a five minute or a 4 block walk from the lake at Linn Pier which offers a boat launch and fishing from the dock. This home provides hospitality to families and their pets! Perfect for family gatherings or a peaceful retreat.
“The Pier” is a well known country store only four houses away where you can conveniently pick up anything you forgot to pack! Weekend vacationers can call "The Pier" at (262) 348-9400 by Thursday morning and have custom meat and liquor orders available by Friday pickup for the weekend.
The downtown of Lake Geneva, Fontana and Williams Bay offer shopping, movie theaters, a variety of restaurants and public beaches and piers. Local activities include fishing, swimming, sailing, parasailing (rental boats, canoes, kayaks and paddle boats available at local piers), boat/dinner cruise lake tours, golfing, spa, and an indoor water park at Grand Geneva Resort, skiing at Geneva National, Alpine, and Wilmot, golfing at Geneva National, Abbey Springs and 10 other courses within a 15 minute drive, antique shops and malls, free wine tasting at Pop More Corks, horse shows and riding, a corn maze, farms offering fresh produce and picking in season, full gaming casino 45 minutes away, and many area shows, fairs and other special events scheduled year-round.

The Unique Benefits at this House
It is 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 try 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.
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.
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 as over time as resorts closed we found it incredibly difficult to find a place wherre the family can get together and bring our pets. Ever since we visited Lake Geenva 20 years ago we have been going back to vacation as often as we can. As our family grew, we found Lake Geneva to be the perfect place to take the kids. They couldn't get enough of the lake and all the fun activities to do. They were just 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".
