ABOUT THE LOCATION
Williams Bay is a perfect mix of a quiet lake town while still being close to all of the amenities you need. There is a selection of restaurants, gourmet market, salon and spa and ice cream shops within walking distance on the sidewalk.

The house is .7 miles from Williams Bay Beach where you can spend the day in the sand and take a dip in the lake from the swim platforms. On the way to the beach, there is a park with playset and swings.

The Shore Path around Lake Geneva offers you an up close view of historic estates and stunning homes as well as crystal blue waters. The path reaches up to almost 26 miles as it weaves in and out of wooded areas along the shoreline. The path has been preserved by early settlers who decreed that the “20 feet leading to the shoreline be preserved as public domain.” Property owners were responsible then - and still are today - for maintaining the path through each of their properties, which makes the trail uniquely different from one property to the next.

The house sits 500 ft from Pier 290, Lake Geneva’s only lakeside restaurant. It features a white, sandy beach to enjoy cocktails and live music and has family friendly dining both inside and out.

Less than a 10-minute drive to downtown Lake Geneva for more shops, dining and guided boat tours. Head to Fontana (7 min drive) to rent a boat for the day or golf at Geneva National.

On-site parking available for a maximum of 2 vehicles. Street parking is accessible along Walworth Avenue.

Health, safety, and wellbeing of our guests are of utmost importance. For this reason, we have a professional cleaning service ensuring a thorough clean before you check-in.

We do not accept reservations from anyone under 25 years of age. We do not allow persons under 25 to occupy a property unless accompanied by someone over 25 years of age.

THINGS TO KNOW
Please note this home is equipped with a doorbell camera. Camera is only intended to keep the property safe and secure and monitor deliveries. A noise monitor is located near the hot tub to monitor noise levels. It records decibel levels only, not conversation.

We ask our guests to limit noise when using outdoor areas and hot tub. THIS IS NOT A PARTY RENTAL! If you cannot agree to these regulations, please do not rent this property. All regulations will be strictly enforced.

*Exceeding the noise ordinance could result in actions including fines and/or termination of your rental agreement without refund.

Recently renovated house with big open spaces
Recently renovated, everything was thoughtfully placed...tons of things to do for the kids (games, beach towels, wagon, ping pong table, etc.) and a fully stocked kitchen made this house a pleasure to stay in. Host was absolutely wonderful and quick in response to random questions. We were visiting family in the area and know the area well. Will definitely stay again if we have a larger party that comes in the summertime to visit Williams Bay.

Perfect home and perfect location.
This was the perfect home for our multigenerational family group. It offers a perfect area for the teens with the finished walkout basement. Great selection of toys for our 2 year grandson. Nicely remodeled ranch home just steps from the water. Easy walk / short drive to some great restaurants / park / beach area. Had everything needed to prepare meals there. Everything in great working order. We will stay here again! Owners were great to work with, too! I appreciate their attention to detail. Thanks again!

Super Clean and lovely home in WB, WI
My mom and I booked this trip as a girls getaway. She has cancer and struggles with stairs. Although the house was beautiful and immaculately clean, I would mention the stairs in the description for rental as older people and people with issues with stairs should be aware of the climb. We also had a plumbing issue but the owners were very gracious and even refunded a portion back to us for our troubles. Overall the house is beautiful the beds were super comfy too so much so that I ordered a mattress of the same kind. If you are thinking about staying here and don't have issues with stairs definitely book it. It is lovely. Thank you.

We loved our stay at this property. Jessica was so gracious and responsive to our inquiries and questions before our stay. She was so kind and the communication was easy. My husband, I and the other guests loved all the accommodations including the large main living spaces that we used for talking as a group, the hot tub was so fun, and we loved the fire pit too! We would absolutely stay there again! ❤️

Had an amazing getaway for a women’s weekend at the cutest place. The house was very clean, organized, cute little intentional details, and utilized all the great amenities! Loved how you could view the lake and we even took a walk along the lake path one day! Close enough to downtown but far enough away tucked in a quiet neighborhood. 10/10 would stay again!

Awesome Lake Geneva Weekend
Spent a weekend here for my bachelor with some family and friends. The house was super clean and exactly as advertised. Location is awesome, too. Jessica is a great host to work with and even left us a thoughtful note with some beers and snacks. Will definitely be recommending this rental to anyone I know looking for a place to stay in Lake Geneva/Williams Bay. Thanks, Jessica!

Summer Getaway at the Lake
Was the perfect house for our family of 5 and the grandparents. We keep our boat at the Gage, so the short hop across the street could not have been more perfect. The home was immaculate, with everything you would ever need in a rental. Highly recommend!
