Bill and Carol’s cottage was perfect for our bachelorette trip this past weekend!! It was located conveniently close to all the restaurants, lake, and nightlife which made everything an easy walking distance. They were so accommodating to our party as it rained on one day and they allowed us to stay a little later than our reservation. Bill and Carol were so personable, as Carol showed us around the unit the moment we got there and Bill was nice enough to greet us the final morning. Everyone in my group was so happy and pleased with our stay! Next time we are staying in Lake Geneva, we would definitely keep this place in mind to stay again! Thank you Bill & Carol for everything!

We had a wonderful time at this property. The proximity to all of the shops, food, beach, and conveniences of downtown are just outside your door.Bill and Carol were incredible hosts. We were given a brief tour of the home by Bill upon our arrival, which may or may not be everyone's cup of tea when booking on VRBO, but we were given good information about the area and the property during our walk through.While minor renovations were going on the exterior of the home, the interior was spotless, well equipped, and comfortable. The only item that we may have wanted, had our trip been longer, would have been a washer and dryer for laundry.If we visit Lake Geneva for a similar amount of time in the future, we will definitely look to see if this property is available.

Hi Mary, Thank you for the wonderful review. I did find a red beach towel and some freezer packs in the freezer. Please ask your friends if they want them back, if so I will hang on to them until someone comes up to Lake Geneva. If not I will dispose of them. Also I hope you were not offended by Bills message of "smokin hot". He felt bad after he sent it as I said it could be offensive. We both really appreciated your group, including the boys as friendly, fun and a great group of young people. Thank you for leaving the unit in such great condition. We would welcome you back again anytime. Please let me know about the towel and freezer packs. Thank you, Bill & Carol

The home exterior and porch were under construction so enjoying the outside space was not an option. When walking in the front porch had exposed insulation and was piled with stuff. It is not listed that this is the bottom floor of a historic home shared with the host who lives above, this information would have influenced our booking. Additionally part of the dishwasher was out of order requiring that you hand wash any dishes that didn’t fit when checking out, not ideal for vacation. The host was kind and accommodating but shouldn’t charged full price with the construction and broken appliances.
