We really enjoyed our stay at the Bay House. Comfortable rooms and the covered porch in a quiet area. During our short stay we were able to shop in Lake Geneva, walk on the Lake Path, see the Yerkes Observatory and sit on the benches at the Williams Bay beach area watching all the activity. There is much to do around this good location.

We loved our stay here! Everything was perfect, and we had the best time! We loved going over to the Frosty Moose just around the corner for ice cream, and it was such a relaxing and calm beach area as well. The beds were super comfortable which made for a great night’s sleep!

Comfortable Home, Amazing Location

My husband, our dog, and I truly enjoyed our stay in this clean and comfortable home. The location is perfect, close to Lake Geneva and Fontana while being able to walk to many Williams Bay attractions. This is a great place to relax and get out of the city. I highly recommend.
