About the host

Hosted by Holly Leitner

Host profile image
Hello! I am a fourth generation Lake Geneva resident and I began hosting in 2016. It is my passion to share my love of this area and create perfect soul-nourishing retreats for my guests. I am lucky to call this area home and enjoy the four seasons and abundance of natural areas. I am happy to help you with any planning tips to make it a great getaway!

Why they chose this property

It's the better side of Geneva Lake. You get to live like a local - walk to the restaurants, beach, bars, parks, hiking trails and avoid the touristy crowds of Lake Geneva. Williams Bay is hallmark small town living, quaint, yet just a hop away from it all.

What makes this property unique

Front porch, firepit, hammock, huge yard - and small town lakeside living!
