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.

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.

Neat and clean

The house is very clean and decorated so cute. There is a spider issue though , in the downstairs. Our sink in the downstair bathroom was clogged for 1 1/2 days.
Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 8 Nov 2024
Hi Susan, we came out to address the sink twice and finally found out it was just a different type of stopper that needs to be manually pulled up. Nothing was broken in the unit. So sorry about the confusion, although there were many other sinks to use. We also gave you complimentary early check in and late check out. We do have monthly routine pest control and have notified their team. It is that time of year here with the transition of seasons. Members of our team enjoyed meeting you and your friends and hope to host you again.
