Our group ranged in age from 16-91 and 2 dogs. Everyone had a wonderful time. We kayaked, fished, waded in the water and took long walks. Just what we needed! The cabin is beautiful and very comfortable. We enjoyed nightly campfires. We also had a nice afternoon in Lake Geneva, only 18 minutes away. Highly reccomend!
My mom and my two sisters and I just wanted to get away from the city and relax together with minimal running around. This was the perfect place for us it was super clean and well stocked and just very comfortable with a beautiful view. Thank you so much for a wonderful and enjoyable weekend we will be back
We had 3 children, ages 2 and under, and could not have asked for a better getaway! The place was clean and had new appliances. The beach on the property was a perfect size for the kids to play (and enough fish to keep me busy casting). Will definitely return!
Your property was perfect -- clean, well maintained, and ready when promised. All that was needed for the stay was there.
Thank you! We plan on returning!!
Beautifl well-maintained cabin on a quiet lake. We have 2 dogs that live to swim and it was erfexr for them. We caught lots of small fish off the dock. Very relaxing and all the comforts of home. Highly recommend this property and we hope to return next summer for more fun and sun on the lake.
Wonderful stay at the cottage - the listing very well represents what to expect for your stay. The updates and general layout of the cottage make it feel roomier than the actual square footage. Our dog loved swimming in the lake, I spent a lot of time in the hammock and having both a lake side fire pit and a gas pit on the porch was great.
It was our second time at Jamie’s cottage. It’s a wonderful spot. Jamie is amazing with her communication. Would highly recommend. We’ll be back. Thank you for sharing your awesome cottage.
This property offers up the quintessential Wisconsin lake cottage experience. It combines an incredible setting for kids to fish, swim, run, and boat themselves until they're exhausted with a quiet, private beachfront to capture the panoramic view of the sunset at day's end. Located a short drive from the Lake Geneva area, it gives one an opportunity to sample the height of tourist season action, should one prefer a bit of that. We've enjoyed two stays and would definitely stay again.
This rental property exceeded my expectations. The inside is very well maintained and beautifully renovated, the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook your own meals and make your coffee in the morning. The beds are very comfortable and the owner was responsive to our questions. Also, the proximity to the spring-fed lake couldn't be any better. I hope to come back here in the summer to enjoy the lake and the outdoor space.
We at a lovely time! The house is very quaint and peaceful. We loved fishing off of the dock and using the kayaks. It’s not the best for swimming at all because it is full of seaweed but the property is beautiful. We used the fire pit and had a very relaxing time. The location is very close to Lake Geneva so we also enjoyed being out of the hustle and bustle but close enough to enjoy the many things that Lake Geneva offers.
Overall, we loved the house and location. The fishing dock was well used by my adult son, and we enjoyed building a fire at night. We cooked many meals, and found the kitchen to be well appointed. The view was unreal!
We did encounter some frustration with the lock box as we had a hard time locating it.
Our family, (mom, dad, kids 18,16,14, 8, and 5 yrs. old) enjoyed our stay at the beach house. The trundle was a little hard to pull out so we just used the mattress on the floor. With the sofa bed and bunk bed we had plenty of sleeping space for our 7 family members. The house was clean and well maintained. Our smallest kids especially enjoyed playing on the sandy beach, while our teens enjoyed the campfire. The outdoor furniture could use a good cleaning but otherwise we have no complaint. We are definitely considering this location for a future family vacation.
We rented this VRBO for time with our family and it as amazing. The beach is absolutely perfect for small children and it is no lie that the sunsets are INCREDIBLE. The only complaint we had is that the beds are uncomfortable, and there wasn’t a washer or dryer. Besides that, it was absolutely lovely.
My husband and I, plus our dog took a kid free weekend. So glad we booked here. The house itself is the cutest. It was so relaxing by the lake and even an enjoyed a little fire on the back patio! It was our puppy’s first vacation and he definitely enjoyed himself too! Can’t wait to come back and bring the kids!!

Peaceful retreat
We had a lovely time at this cozy home. Home was very clean but outdoor spaces were dirty and full of leaves and sand. Communication was challenging when we wanted to modify our stay, but it got resolved a few days later. The front door sticks badly so it was a challenge when coming and going. Enjoyed the water activities after emptying out the water from the kayaks and canoe. We were able to enjoy meals though a few niceties would have made things easier - had to go buy our own condiments, soap and shampoo and wash dishes every meal because there were only 4 plates. Bc
Comfortable place to stay that had everything we needed. We enjoyed kayaking, canoeing, swimming, and fishing, fires and s'mores, and an overall relaxing time away. Fabulous place to stay!

Nice Stay
Cabin was nice little spot in a quiet neighborhood. Close to Lake Geneva.
The place was perfect. Exactly how it was described and pictures. However, there was a weird issue that happened on Sunday. A rand jeep showed up parked in the yard and was ealking in the backyard. Told my husband that they knew the owner and was going fishing. Yes this was on our last day there, however is was at least 3 whole hours before checkout time. We felt very odd and put in a weird spot. It would have been cool if we just would have maybe gotten a heads up or anything. But to have 2 men randomly show up and be on the property.. not so private like described.
