2 Bedroom Sleeps Up To 8 With Boat Slip! Dogs Welcome!

We had a small snafu while setting up our stay and had to cancel one reservation and start another. Vince was great to get everything resolved quickly and was great at communicating while getting everything setup.

The house is nice and has been recently renovated inside it seems. Its about 15 minutes from downtown Lake Geneva. The house has a big yard and is on a quiet street which was great when we wanted to let our dog out to run.

We had some rainy days so the big screen with netflix and other movie apps was great and the fast internet connection was great. Putting pandora on the stereo while cooking dinner was nice to and easy to do.

Only issue we ran into was there was a lot of rain while we were there and the driveway got a bit muddy. Not sure if this is normal or just due to the huge amount of rain during our stay. It made for muddy shoes when getting unloaded.

We appreciated the laid back owners and were pleased to see there wasn't a laundry list of rules or a 'procedure' for when you leave like some other rentals we have done.

The place was very clean and well kept. Owner stays in the property next door and worked to make our stay very comfortable and enjoying. We brought our own boat but the owner has pontoons for rent and he worked to get us a nicer slip at the marina next door since our boat was larger. There were 3 adults and 4 kids and the house was comfortable. Would definitely rent again.

Nice yard and wrap around deck on quiet street. House was very clean, open concept. The boys went fishing and caught walleye, perch, bluegill, bass, and northern pike.

We were only looking for simple accommodations for a couple of weeks of boating and skiing in one of the awesome lakes in southeast Wisconsin, a short commute from our home in Chicago. We have been VRBO lake house renters for the last few years and have always had good experiences. Usually simple lakefront homes with a pier for our boat and a welcome mat for our dog. Due to the growing popularity of on-line vacation home rentals, it’s been getting more challenging, and of course more costly to nab something practical and affordable. When we stumbled upon “The Crab Shack” in Lake Delavan, we were skeptical. I recalled childhood memories in the early-mid 70s, renting small, crappy cottages in the overcrowded Assembly Park on the northeast side of the murky green lake. The carp were as big and greasy as my brothers Volkswagen Beetle. Funny, the cottages always had names, I liked that. Considering the grand size of the lake and the huge improvements in regards to water quality, facilities, and accommodations, we felt it was time to give Lake Delavan another shot, and am I glad we did.

This well-kept house is only a stroll from the water’s edge and is on a private piece of property with plenty of space for vehicles, activities, and isolating your soul. The very first thing we noticed when arriving at the home was the considerably sized wraparound deck that offers two zones for whatever your lounging or entertaining needs might be. Upon entering the house, your eyes are immediately drawn upwards to the vast, warmly lit wood covered vaulted ceilings. It umbrellas the spacious great room, presenting the tastefully decorated interior, comfy large furniture, and highlights the gorgeous modern kitchen, complete with granite counters, dark wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and tasteful lighting. The bedrooms are neat, quiet, and comfortable, the bathroom is on par with any fancy hotel, complete with toiletries if you need them.

The best part, the owners, Vince and Nancy. Now some people understand that when on vacation, you may want to just be left alone. Others may want to explore friendships with new people. We mutually ended up befriending our super cool landlords who happen to stay in the house next door. We initially appreciated their kindness while accommodating us but ended up hanging out with them quite a bit. They really made our trip special and we’re already planning for next year with our new friends. Great experience!

It was a very cute house. It was very clean and we felt very comfortable. Owners were around to help with anything we needed.
