The location was fantastic, one block off of Main street and all that Lake Geneva has to offer. Carol and Bill were great hosts and provided clear instructions leading up to and during our stay. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed for our family of five. The only call-outs were that the heat was not working in one of the bedrooms so we were unable to use it, and all three bedrooms have french doors with thin blinds that do not provide much separation/privacy from the main living room.

Great location! The host was very accommodating and thorough. The place was beautiful. There was even beer and root beer in the fridge. The one complaint we had was the couch was too soft so hard to get up.

My family and I had a wonderful stay. Bill and Carol are the nicest people you could hope for. The cottage has a great open floor plan, perfect for being with family and was equipped with everything we could need. I grew up in the area but hadn’t been back in a long time. Bill and Carol were great at filling us in with the best places to eat and have a great time. The location is perfect—right in the heart of everything and within walking distance to the lake. We ended up taking advantage of a free night that they offer with weekend stays in the fall months. We hope to be back someday soon.

Bill and Carol love living in Lake Geneva. Bill is a contractor and loves to create homes and commercial buildings for people to live or work in. He is gifted with an eye for design and then can create it for his customers. He remodeled our Nautical Cottage in 2020 and it is unique with open space and high end finishes.
