This was a great stay. Plenty of space for the entire family to gather. First time an actual house felt bigger than the actual listing. Can not wait to visit again in the summer.

6 adults stayed here together and we loved the large well stocked kitchen, huge dining room table, and spacious living room. The interior of the house features beautiful wood floors and woodwork in all rooms except for the tiled floors in the bathrooms and kitchen. It is in a great location too. We thoroughly enjoyed our time together in this charming home.

Thank you for the feedback. Please note that this guest requested early check in, which is not always possible. When early check-in is possible, sometimes I will not know the exact time and will message the guest when the cleaners are finished. We always try to accommodate early check ins when possible!

Relaxing!

The location is perfect walking distant to "down town" Geneva-on-the-Lake or the town park to see the lake! The house has everything you need to make a meal (except the food), enjoy time on the porch or patio, and watch TV. The decor provided a relaxing atmosphere!

Beautiful home in beautiful location

This was a beautiful home just a brief walk to the local park overlooking the lake and also an easy walk to the strip. The home was so clean, comfortable, and we loved discovering the historic charm of the home (like sinks in every bedroom) while appreciating the updated amenities. It met all of our needs. Highly recommend!

Perfect place for a family vacation!

We stayed at The Westlake House for a family vacation over July 4th with our two young children. The house is a perfect location - very close to the main drag but still quiet. Walking distance to Geneva Township Park and views of the lake. The house had everything we needed, even a pack-and-play for the baby and toys for our toddler. Very easy to communicate with the owner with questions. Highly recommend!

The WestLake House

Beautiful house, nice location near the Lake. It had a beautiful yard for my dogs to run in. We really appreciated being able to bring our small dogs. The house has character & a story to tell. The owners were very receptive during a bad storm, tornado warning. Highly recommend!

Fabulous Relaxing Weekend

We were far enough away from the bustling nightlife scene that we could relax and enjoy the outside spaces of the house without noise issues from others. The six of us loved the house and all it’s interesting historic features. The sinks in each room were a bonus to save on time getting ready at night or in the morning. Loved the park that’s just a quick walk East from the house. Beautiful! We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful property

The house & property are absolutely perfect! Nice large home with plenty of room and very well stocked! Loved the outdoor spaces, especially the large front porch! The neighborhood is quiet, but a short 4 minute walk to the "strip". This is our 7th year as a family staying in GOTL & the first year we were able to all stay in one home! Highly recommend this property! We will definitely book this house again!! Thank you!

Feels like home...but better!

My second stay here didnt disappoint. The house is even better than last time. Great location, minutes from the hustle bustle,seconds from a lakeview sunset. The new hammock swing on the porch might be the best spot in GOTL. So many extra touches, like the 2nd floor coffee bar and the tons of drawers in the kitchen filled withanything you could possibly need, make this place as convenient as being in your own house, while simultaneously reminding you of how special this home is. I love this place, and hope to return again next year!

Another Fantastic Stay!

Beautiful restored home- so clean and welcoming! Even if you forgot something- shampoo, a certain pan for cooking- don’t worry! It’s probably there! Stayed 3 nights instead of 2- much more relaxing. Had a fire and did s’mores twice! Finally made it to Eddie’s! Delicious burgers! Beach day was freezing but other than that everything was perfect! Highly recommend this wonderful house!
