The location is everything! Maybe a 10 min walk to downtown and close to everything! The space was roomy for our crew of 8. The owner is super communicative and responsive which was very helpful! Highly recommend the space for a small group - my nieces loved the sleeping loft space

We had an amazing stay! The house was absolutely adorable. Cute, cozy, and had the perfect beach house vibe that made us feel relaxed the moment we walked in. Our family of six had plenty of space and felt right at home.The host was fantastic and always responded quickly whenever we had a question. Check-in and check-out were both incredibly smooth and easy, which made the whole experience stress-free.One of our favorite perks was that six beach passes were included. It made spending time at the lake so convenient and saved us the hassle of purchasing passes separately. We also had so much fun with the foosball table. It turned into a family tournament and created some great memories!Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. We would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Lake Geneva and would love to come back!

We had a wonderful time in Lake Geneva. The listing was just as described and was perfect for our family of seven (2 Grandparents, 3 adults and 2 kids). Of course, a second bathroom would have been great, but we knew the house only had one. We just needed to plan ahead in the mornings. The house is in a great area, only 3 to 4 blocks from all the action. There was also an amazing wine and cheese shop/bar 1/2 a block away.Patrick was an amazing host. Very communicative and really responsive. We had asked for some additional shampoo and body wash. It was at the house in under 10 minutes. Very impressed! Thanks Patrick!The place was also very clean and the air conditioning worked great.Would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend this space for anyone looking for a comfortable stay close to all the shops and bars in downtown Lake Geneva!

Hi, I’m Patrick! I was born and raised in Lake Geneva, and know the area like the back of my hand. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! I am looking forward to hosting you at the Gingerbread House!

Why they chose this property

I chose this neighborhood because it is a very short walk to downtown, the lake, restaurants, a grocery store, and a couple gas stations. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay in Lake Geneva. Whether you’re a family, or hosting a bachelor/bachelorette party, the Gingerbread house is perfect for your stay!

What makes this property unique

My favorite part of the home is the rounded over roof, giving it the “Gingerbread” House look!
