Great getaway

My husband and son thoroughly enjoyed their father/son getaway. They could've stop raving about the accommodations and location. Its in the heart of downtown but quiet. So close to things they barely had to drive anywhere.

Backyard whole Unit

The location to downtown lake Geneva was a huge plus. Units were clean and well maintained. Note: Listed as sleeps 8, actually more accurately 6 adults, especially if there is a need for seperate beds.Would rent again.
