Wedding Visit

There was an issue when we arrived where the condo had not been cleaned after the previous tenant. I called the landlord who responded immediately. The cleaning person was at the condo within minutes. The landlord was very apologetic and my ratings reflect that. He called multiple times to ensure that the issue had been resolved. The location was perfect for our need for the weekend and the rest of the stay was great.

Excellent stay for a summer getaway

Lived up to the 5 star rating. Great location. Close enough to the Abbey to enjoy the amenities of that resort but also nice to be able to retreat to the condo and away from the hustle and bustle of the resort. Lou was extremely helpful before and after check in.

An easy stay :)

My husband and I and our three grade-school-aged kids come to the Geneva Lake area pretty much every summer. This was our first time staying in Fontana, as I wanted to be able to walk to coffee, parks, the beach, the lakeshore path, etc. The condo was very easy to stay in. Lou was very clear with explaining check-in. We had everything we could need in the condo. The TV was even easy to use (in some places I feel like you need a degree to figure out the technology!), and the check-out was the simplest I've ever seen. My kids LOVED the pool. I loved the beach passes. Beds were comfy. Lay-out was great. Everything was clean. We had a great, relaxing stay!

Great weekend getaway!

My family of four (husband, 2 y/o, and 4 month old baby) had a fabulous labor day weekend at Lou's condo. It was very clean and Lou was accessible all weekend. The condo has a great outdoor patio overlooking beautiful big trees and the pool. The pool was right out the door, and nearly empty all weekend which made for some good social distanced fun. Lou had beach passes, and the beach was only a short walk away. It was a great place to escape the city and enjoy a quiet and safe weekend. I didn't have any COVID or cleanliness concerns which has been our top priority in finding VRBOs.

Very nice, clean, and comfortable condo. Perfect setting in quiet area overlooking pool and green space. We loved the close walk to beaches, restaurants, boat rentals, coffee, ice cream, and shore path. Condo was well-appointed and our family (2 adults and 2 teens) had plenty of room, and we enjoyed the deck and grill.

About the host

Hosted by Kristen Neri, Kylie Kenna & Gail Doyle

Host profile image
The Knudtson sisters from Park Ridge, IL recently took over management of this beloved family property after Grandpa Lou retired from the role. Our family has owned and enjoyed this condo for nearly 30 years, creating countless memories here with children, grandchildren, and friends. We have made many recent improvements and continue to invest in the property to ensure it remains a comfortable and enjoyable place to stay. While we still use and cherish the condo ourselves, we are delighted to share it with guests and hope you create wonderful Lake Geneva memories of your own during your stay.

Why they chose this property

One of the best features of this property is its prime location next to the Abbey Resort, one of Lake Geneva's premier destination resorts. Just a short walk from the condo, guests can enjoy multiple restaurants and bars, lakeside dining, live entertainment, a full-service Avani Spa, a game room, coffee shop, and the beautiful marina and harbor. The resort grounds offer scenic walking paths, stunning lake views, and frequent seasonal events throughout the year. Whether you're looking to relax with a spa treatment, enjoy cocktails overlooking the water, rent a boat for the day, or simply take in a Lake Geneva sunset, everything is conveniently located just steps from your door.

What makes this property unique

What makes our property unique is the combination of a peaceful condo setting with access to resort-style amenities and one of the best locations on Lake Geneva. Guests enjoy a spacious, fully updated two-bedroom condo with a large private terrace overlooking beautifully landscaped grounds and a brand-new resort-style pool completed in 2026.

Unlike many vacation rentals, you can park your car and walk to restaurants, bars, the marina, boat rentals, the beach, the spa, and entertainment at the Abbey Resort. Whether you're looking for a relaxing couples getaway, a family vacation, a girls' weekend, or a boating adventure, everything you need is just steps away.

The condo comfortably accommodates families and groups, offers in-unit laundry, beach passes, and access to the new pool and pavilion. Its unique location in the heart of Fontana provides the perfect balance of relaxation, convenience, and access to all the activities that make Lake Geneva a favorite destination year-round.

A shorter VRBO-friendly version would be:

Our condo offers the best of both worlds—a quiet, spacious retreat with the convenience of resort living. Located next to the Abbey Resort and Marina, guests can walk to dining, bars, the beach, boat rentals, the spa, and entertainment. Combined with our brand-new resort-style pool, private terrace, beach access, and ideal Fontana location, it's the perfect place to experience everything Lake Geneva has to offer without ever needing to get back in your car.
