About this property

Abbey Springs Resort - Private Geneva Lake Beach - Pool - Golf Cart - TIKI BAR!

Get ready for an amazing getaway in the "Lookout at Abbey Springs."
This fully furnished, nautical condo is light, bright, clean and stocked with everything you'll need and offers more amenities than the local hotels, all within a short drive to downtown Lake Geneva and all that the town has to offer.

This home is located in Abbey Springs, which is a luxury 5 Star gated golf community surrounding our Championship Golf Course and located across from Geneva Lake. It's a member only community and as our guest, you'll be able to enjoy all the privileges. We are limited to a strictly enforced occupancy of 6 guests per Abbey Springs Association guidelines.

You can spend your time at the private sandy beach, dining at the three resort restaurants, swim in either the indoor or outdoor pool, relax in the hot tub or sauna, play a round of golf, fish from the fishing piers, work out in the state of the art fitness center, play racquet ball, tennis, pickle ball, bocce ball, volleyball, basketball, or enjoy the kids center with arcade at the clubhouse, all within this amazing community. (All are included, except golf which has a separate green fee.) You can even enjoy all the amenities for the entire day after you check out.

The condo is a hidden treasure! It's fun and professionally decorated for the beach lifestyle at Abbey Springs. There's a living room, kitchen, dining table with seating for 6 at the table plus four stools at the breakfast bar on the island. (You can remove a leaf in the dining table to sit 4 if you have a smaller group.) There's a first floor master bedroom with a plush and comfortable king size bed, private bath as well as an additional bathroom on this main level.

On the upper floor you'll find beautiful built-in bunks with 4 twin beds with the most comfortable mattresses you've ever slept on. It's like sleeping in a cloud! You'll also find a washer and dryer on this level. The name "look out" comes from the view you'll find from the bunks on this level. You'll be looking out onto the Abbey Springs property with seasonal lake views.

There's a queen size sleeper sofa in the living room with a memory foam mattress for extra comfort. This unit is two bedrooms plus the sofa sleeper.

The home is located on the second floor with an exterior stairway up to our private entrance. There's a private deck nestled in the trees with a seating area and a tiki bar! This is a one of a kind home with no detail overlooked. It's decorated to perfection and provides all the comforts you'd expect from an upscale vacation home.

The location of this unit is exceptional, being close to the lake and clubhouse, making it an easy walk to all the fun. To access the lake, there is a walk way through a tunnel under Lakeshore Drive to the lakefront beach, so you won't have to worry about crossing the street. It's there, you'll find a the resort's private sandy beach with a jumping pier, climbing hill, playground, grills and picnic tables, sand volleyball, basketball, and fishing. The beach area also has a lakeside full bar and grill "Below Deck" with ice cream, hot dogs, burgers, etc, which is open Wednesday - Sunday between Memorial Day and Labor Day. For those looking to get around the resort by golf cart instead of foot, we can arrange a rental golf cart for you for a daily fee.

The Yacht Club is a fine dining experience overlooking the lake and is more suitable for an adult dinner. Watch the sunset from your table enjoying a memorable meal or grab a drink from the Yacht Club bar and sit by the outdoor fire pits. They offer live entertainment on most weekends in the summer and be sure to stop in to see Smiling Dave for his dance party on Friday Nights - SO much fun!

There's an additional restaurant, the Clubhouse Grille, overlooking the award winning golf course, where breakfast and lunch are served. They serve casual dinner on select Friday and Saturdays in the summer months. All three restaurants are for members only and not open to the public. As a guest of the Look Out at Abbey Springs, you are considered a guest of a member and can enjoy these establishments.

The top-rated golf course provides challenges for advanced players, yet beginners can still approach the course with confidence. The excellent condition of the course is also a feature that any golfer can appreciate. Abbey Springs Golf Course's signature hole is the par 4, 17th hole, which offers the best view on the course. This hole plays from an elevated tee that overlooks Lake Geneva.

The home is located 1.5 miles from downtown Fontana and 8.5 miles from downtown Lake Geneva. In Fontana you can enjoy the public beach, rent a speed boat or pontoon, parasail or hang out on the dock or grab a bit to eat at Chuck's Lakeshore Inn and Gordy's Bar & Grill. Downtown Lake Geneva (15-20 minute drive) is home to wonderful restaurants and shopping. There is also a public lake-shore path that extends along the entire 26 miles of shoreline, and you can access it from the Abbey Springs private beach to enjoy the beautiful homes and lake views. (Walk as little or as much as you'd like... you don't need to walk all 26 miles!)

Lake Geneva is no longer just a summer destination. The local resorts have year round activities to keep our visitors busy all year. Winter is a great time to visit, as we are located near two ski hills, with ice fishing on the lake, great cross country skiing, ice skating and sledding nearby. The US National Snow Sculpting competition comes each January or February and for the past two winters, we have been home to the Ice Castles, which are 40 feet tall interactive masterpieces that include slides, fountains, look out towers, and with led lights that move to the music. There are only 5 Ice Castle sites in North America, including Utah, Colorado, New Hampshire, Canada and Minnesota and we are lucky to have them here in Lake Geneva, too!

Autumn is a beautiful time, as well, with gorgeous foliage throughout the area including breathtaking views across the lake. There are also orchards for apple picking and many fall and Halloween events to enjoy. Spring, too, is a great time. With the ice gone, the lake comes back to life! There is a strawberry and blueberry farm for picking nearby and plenty of other fun seasonal things to do and see.

This property is great for friends and family gatherings, girls weekends, golf groups, or those who just want all of the amenities of a 5 star resort in a residential setting.

There is a daily Abbey Springs Resort Fee that is included in your payment to vrbo, you do not have to pay this directly to Abbey Springs Resort. You will have access to all the amenities I mentioned above, including the beach (seasonal), pools, arcade, fitness center, tennis (seasonal), bocce (seasonal) and more.. Also to note: The resort is very strict on the max occupancy to enter the gated community which is 6 guests max for this unit.

If you are looking to rent a golf cart during your stay, we can arrange a 4 seat golf cart for you. The cost is $100 per day. We will send you a liability waiver and bill you separately for that. Let us know if you are interested. The golf cart is for resort use only and cannot leave the Abbey Springs grounds and is available May-September.

Quiet, yet close to the action
The property perfectly fit what we were looking for. Tiki Bar and elevated porch in wooded setting is great for relaxing and listening to tunes. Inside has everything you'll need and is very clean and comfortable. It's close to Geneva Lake and The Abbey making outside entertainment just a hop away. Came here with the boys for a wedding, would easily return with the family.

Family stay
The living room, kitchen and bedrooms were adequate but surfaces were a bit worn. Laundry was a tight space but worked well. This was important because we used the provided pool towels every day. Pool toys were thoughtfully provided. Beds were the main issue for us (4 adults, 1 teen and 1 four year old. The mattresses seemed broken down and were not comfortable for us.

Great Location, Lots of Amenities for Families
We truly enjoyed our stay. The area is peaceful but has lots of amenities for families and within short walking distance. We had fun exploring the neighborhood with the golf cart, walking to the beach and enjoying the gym and game room. The house is quant, beds were comfortable, and we played lots of cards in the family room. Overall, the place was clean and updated, but the unit shows some grime in the kitchen and master bathroom due to age. Lots of towels which was much appreciated!

Great stay at Abbey Springs
Great outdoor/deck area. Everything you need in the unit for our family of 5. Good area to hang out outside, and having the golf cart available to rent is a huge plus. Host was great with communication, although we had no issues. Parking can be a little dicey right in front of unit, but nothing we weren't able to work with. Always love coming to Abbey Springs and would consider this unit again.

Wonderful Anniversary Celebration
A charming and lovely condo for our anniversary celebration! Super clean and very well equipped with everything you need from kitchen supplies to a big supply of bath and beach towels, blankets and pillows! The decor is very cozy and nautical, perfect for a "lake house" vacation! Ali was a dream to work with! Super responsive to any questions we had-before we checked in and throughout our stay. A+ for ease of communication and responsiveness! Close to restaurants and boat rentals in Fontana, but the Yacht Club, pool and golf course on the property are awesome and so convenient!

Family vacation
What a wonderful space for a family vacation! The condo had all the things we needed and then some, like the pack and play and high chair for our youngest. Both were in great condition as well as totally clean. The TV was easy to log in to our streaming accounts. The kitchen was well stocked with all the tools, gadgets and kitchen ware that we could possibly need. The bathrooms had pump soap and fresh linens, which was helpful. Our bigger kids LOVED the bunk beds (which were super sturdy and cozy). The beach toys and chairs were a nice touch as well. The bed in the master was very comfortable Abbey Springs was beautiful! Once we got the lay of the land and were more comfortable with the area, we took full advantage of all the the resort had to offer. The golf cart was so much fun for our family to cruise around the community and to quickly get to and from the pool and beach. Ali was incredibly easy to get a hold of and completely accommodating! We booked this trip totally last minute, as our original plan had fallen through. We were so pleased with how this vacation turned out! It was even better than we had originally planned!!! We will definitely book again!

Cute condo
Stayed 8 days with 4 grandchildren( 10, 7, 4 and 3 years old).Kitchen clean and well equipped. Bunk beds upstairs were great for our group, but older children would probably need a bedroom with a door. Bedroom with king size bed was very quiet. All 3 air conditioners run a little noisy. Convenient to access pool, beach, game room, etc. Communication with property manager was beyond excellent: they checked in with us several times to see how things were going! Also property manager left starter of paper products, dish soap, etc, which prevented several trips to the store. Several very nice touches like games and WI for kids, and some beach toys, which were greatly appreciated!! Would stay again!

Great Place to Stay!!
This was such a cozy place to stay in Lake Geneva. It was perfect for our family of five. Our daughters LOVED the bunk room. It had laundry, a well stocked kitchen, Wii, board games, and the location was awesome. We loved that we got access to the Abbey Golf Club. We were able to use the game room, hot tub and pool, and we played 9 holes at the golf course and it was so nice! We also enjoyed taking the golf cart across the street to the little beach, playground and we ate at the Yacht Club restaurant. You can easily walk to all of those places as well. It only took about 15 minutes by car to get to the downtown, but that didn't bother us at all. We didn't see any need to be super closer. Lake Geneva is beautiful and this was a great place to stay! We will stay here again if we go back!

Weeknight Stays
The unit was clean. It was nicely decorated and the check in was super easy. Towels, pool things etc were all in the unit so that was nice and the convenience of the golf cart was great! It was smaller than expected. It was advertised as two bedroom two bath but the second bathroom is right next to a shared vanity with two sinks and the other bathroom just has a smaller toilet and shower so my husband, my self and two teens had to share the vanity area and anyone in there was next to the larger downstairs bedroom. The upstairs bedroom is cool but it is a lofted area with just the two bunkbeds . We came during the week and the Yachtclub restaurants is only open Friday to Sunday I think and since we are not members we need to pay cash there. So there is really only the Abby Springs main restaurant with the same menu all day. The unit is closer to the front of the Abby Springs, which is close to the road yet you can hear the road from the porch but also easy to run across the road to go to the yacht club area if you wanted without a gold cart. For teens, there is not really anything to do at Abby Springs onsite if they do not golf. The pool being, during the week was kind of dead, same with the beach area and when it was busy it was mostly little kids. A really good stay for families with little ones. We found ourselves driving into Fontana, which is super close and Lake Geneva for most things which was fine.
