Our stay was comfortable. The golfers enjoyed the course being right outside our door. The rest enjoyed the activities in the club house and pools.

Golf Trip
Guys golf trip to Lake Geneva for a 3rd straight year. House was good size for 8 of us. Conveniently located near the Abbey Springs Resort amenities. House was clean and had all the necessary supplies for our 3 night stay. Nothing fancy, but decor fits in with the Wisconsin lake vibe. We would stay there again. Karl was easy to work with.

The Perfect Getaway!
We spent an amazing 4 days at this lovely property! The house is spacious but still cozy and easily accommodated 4 adults, an energetic 6 year old and 2 dogs, with room to spare. The big kitchen was the perfect location for our fun group meals and games with a cozy counter/breakfast bar and large dining areas. The bedrooms were lovely and the beds were very comfortable, the living room was great for relaxing and hanging out. We had a blast playing ping pong and pool in the basement and we made full use of the Abby Springs clubhouse- great bar and restaurant and huge indoor pool and hot tub! We had everything we needed for a fantastic long weekend in a place as clean as any hotel but with the comfort of home! Our visit in late winter/early spring led to a lot of FUN indoor time (due to rain/snow), I can only imagine how great the summer months are during boating and beach season! We will definitely be back to find out!!

Beautiful Home
It was a girl's weekend and a dream weekend it was. There were only 3 of us so the house, of course, was like a castle to us. It was super clean and the kitchen was well equipped (except for a chef). Every room had its own character. It would be a great house for a family reunion. There are so many areas everyone can hang out in, all really nice. It was too cool for us to use the summer room but it was nice how we could look at how pretty it was from the family room.
The owners were wonderful and easy to communicate with throughout the weekend and even after. We lost a set of keys and they went out of the way to make sure the house was checked for them. Check in was super easy!
There is a guard house that you need to drive through and they are very thorough in making sure who can go thru. That made us (3 senior women) feel very secure.
We wouldn't hesitate in renting this house again.

Exceptional Home and Host
Karl's place was perfect for our large family attending a wedding in the area. Many spaces to relax and visit, while enjoying nature views. Karl was immediately responsive and I hope to have a reason to return some day.

Nothing short of outstanding!
We couldn't have not been more pleased with the overall renting experience. Karl our host, communicated with me frequently through the entire process and gave me specific check in instructions and always promptly answered my questions. The house had everything available to us and there were signs to identify certain aspects of the house. If I could give 10 stars on everything I would.

Wonderful family vacation
Our family (three-generations, including two toddlers) had everything we needed at this property. The house is spacious, well-stocked, and very comfortable. We enjoyed the amenities - especially the beach and pool - during the day, and loved relaxing on the porch in the evening. We’d love to return.
