Hi Mary, Thank you for the wonderful review. I did find a red beach towel and some freezer packs in the freezer. Please ask your friends if they want them back, if so I will hang on to them until someone comes up to Lake Geneva. If not I will dispose of them. Also I hope you were not offended by Bills message of "smokin hot". He felt bad after he sent it as I said it could be offensive. We both really appreciated your group, including the boys as friendly, fun and a great group of young people. Thank you for leaving the unit in such great condition. We would welcome you back again anytime. Please let me know about the towel and freezer packs. Thank you, Bill & Carol

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.
