Cozy Delavan Lake Cottage - Walk to Beach/Boat Launch. 8 Minutes to Lake Geneva!
ACROSS THE STREET FROM DELAVAN LAKE...
A vintage dairy farm on 4 wooded acres has been transformed into a peaceful Wisconsin retreat.

Or golf the championship courses at Geneva National 5 minutes away. Later, explore nearby Lake Geneva. Or mosey over to Pearce’s Farm Stand for fresh grilling fare. At sunset, stroll down the quiet lake street to The Village Supper Club. Then, relax around the gas fire pit before heading off to bed.

ABOUT PIP'S COTTAGE Accommodates 5 guest MAXIMUM
"My wife and I stayed here the two nights before our wedding day. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The cottage is beautiful, and was an amazing sleep. I would move in if I could! We loved it, and it was a great start to our marriage." ~ Benj R (VRBO Review 9/12/2023)
BELIEVE IT OR NOT... this open, airy space was once a milking house for cows! Thankfully, the beasts were banished long ago. Today, Pip's Cottage is a tasteful blend of contemporary, vintage aesthetics, modern conveniences & thoughtful details.
THE COTTAGE IS EQUIPPED FOR OPTIMAL USE & COMFORT. A washing machine & drier is available for 2 week stays or more. For full amenity enlightenment, read our listing carefully (click all the links & photos too). For the meaning of life or other mysteries, message us ;)
THE OPEN LAYOUT FEELS QUITE SPACIOUS, but the bedrooms are close together. People requiring distance from their companions come bedtime, may want to keep this in mind. While all our guests love their time in Pip's Cottage, 2 adults or families with young children report the coziest stays.
5 GUEST MAXIMUM. Per neighborhood rules.
NO PARTIES & 10pm QUIET TIME. The fish (and our neighbors) need their beauty sleep.
SORRY, NO PETS (Though we love looking at photos of your pets doing cute stuff!)
NO SMOKING

This is a great place to get-away for the weekend. A nice cozy spot in town, with close access to Lake Geneva and local shops/restaurants. The hosts were wonderful and we would definitely recommend this place to our friends/family.

we were in town for my niece's wedding at LaRoque farms so this was the perfect location and just a charming cottage. Also close to the Village Supper club where we had dinner one night. Beautiful grounds and nice to walk along the lake front looking at all the lovely homes in the area.

Such a well kept cute and cozy cottage!! The property is beautiful and serene. The owners were wonderful in making sure that everything was perfect for our stay. Will definitely be back.
Thank you for being such wonderful guests, Emily & Tony! We really enjoyed having you both stay with us. And thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a nice review!!! We truly do appreciate it. Please come back again soon. We'd love to host y'all again whenever you're in town. Cheers!
We stayed here with our two kids (3 & 6mo) for a show at Alpine Valley. It's quaint but enough space for us to do our thing. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked for our needs and there was space for our pack and play. Donna and Bryan were delightful, running into them on the grounds a few times, and were really helpful with directions and tips, and even provided our family with a sweet treat. We'd stay here again!

You & your adorable family were the perfect guests, Brian. We really enjoyed having y'all stay with us & hope you'll come back again often. Thank you for the wonderful review. Cheers!
Our crew has stayed in rentals all over the world, and this was the best rental experience we’ve ever had. The incredible decor, inspired by Delevan, made us feel right at home. We had everything we needed on-site, and we actually decided to cancel our dinner reservations so we could spend more time at the farm. We’re already planning our next visit. Thank you, Donna and Bryan!
Excellent location and quiet, too. Property owners were very accommodating and nice. Definitely a great stay overall and would recommend for a couple of single person.

Thank you so much for the lovely review, Bryan & Trish! It was so sweet of you to rate us so quickly. Especially after your long flight back to Texas. We're happy to see you arrived home safe & sound. It was really nice meeting the two of you. You were a true pleasure to host. Please come back & see us again. We'd love to spoil you with more of our Three Lakes Farm hospitality & give you more tips on the best, off-the-beaten path places in Wisconsin to explore. So... do come back soon. Until then, may your summer be filled with joy & plenty of good old fashioned Texas air conditioning ;D Cheers!
Exactly what we wanted for our anniversary getaway. Well-appointed, cozy cottage, lovely and accommodating hosts, quiet surroundings, easy drive to Lake Geneva and other fun spots. We’d give it 10 stars if we could!

We wanted to stay close to Lake Geneva but didn’t want to stay somewhere that was crowded during Labor Day. The cottage was perfect! It was a great location; close to Lake Geneva and Delavan! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay again!

[And To Cheryl: Thanks for the cleaning lessons ;)]
We enjoyed our stay during our two night get away. The cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable. We liked how close it was to anything we wanted to do. We golfed, and walked around Lake Geneva. Lots of great bars and restaurants close by.

We were looking for a quiet getaway and this cottage was perfect. It’s meticulously clean, has everything you need and is just charming. Owners are on site and available but our space felt very private and we never saw them after we checked in.

About the host
Hosted by Donna & Bryan
They say you can never go home again, but that’s exactly what we did. After stumbling upon this unique farm property, hidden behind giant oak trees, across the street from Delavan Lake, we packed up our city life & returned to the serene, laidback lifestyle of our childhood. A lifestyle we're happy to share with you on Three Lakes Farm at Delavan Lake.
Why they chose this property
Our close proximity to all 3 lakes - Delavan (across the street), Como (6 mins) & Geneva (8 mins) - is how 3 Lakes Farm earned its name.
Easy access to County F, Townhall Rd & County H, make avoiding summer traffic a breeze. And all of the areas best things to do, see & eat are a quick walk or drive away; including: Community Beach, Boat Wrangler's, The Village Supper Club, Lake Lawn Lodge, Geneva National Golf Course, Belfry Music Theater, Riga-Tony’s authentic Chicago deli, Pearce's Farm Stand, Mars Supper Club & more. This gives Three Lakes Farm an advantage over properties located further down S. Shore Drive & the North side of the lake.
Best of all, our 4 spacious acres allows for privacy, room to run & play, ample parking & wildlife sitings. Locals often tell us what a beautiful property we have & they can’t believe they’ve never noticed it before. It's a true hidden gem. We feel confident you’ll agree.
What makes this property unique
3 Lakes Farm is the last remnant of a 10 acre dairy farm located across the street from Delavan Lake. The farm stayed in the original family for years before being sold off bit by bit. Today, only 4 acres remain of what used to be a fully operational dairy farm surrounded by dense woods & a handful of tiny, summer cottages.
Built in 1910, the house & barn are a classic example of the Gambrel style architecture commonly found in areas of the country populated by people from the Netherlands & Germany. Before being converted into an adorable, cedar trimmed tiny home in the 1950s, the cottage functioned as a milking house for the cows.
After extensive updates in 2023, we named the cottage after our 4 lb. Yorkie who loved living there for a bit while we converted the barn into our main living space. During the fall & winter months, Pip spent her days looking out the bedroom window at the lake. She recommends you do the same during your stay.
