There are a few summer weekends still available, but consider visiting Lake Geneva midweek as well when there are fewer people in town. This home is fully updated, brimming with character, spacious and in the middle of everything that Lake Geneva has to offer. It has five bedrooms, three full baths and a hide-a-bed couch in the main house in addition to a guest house with living room, 4th full bath and 6th bedroom. The guest house offers some options for larger groups with some people that need or want a little more separation. Maybe grandma and grandpa want to come along, but would like their own space. Or a young parent with a baby that might be up at night. Or an introvert’s dream-come-true. Part of things, but on your own when you want to be. The basement is a cozy place to hang out and play a game or watch a movie. The stone walls and visible support beams provide a reminder of the history and legacy of the home. Your whole group can hang out together in the large kitchen, stocked with dishes and cooking supplies and a keurig. Appliances include double ovens, microwave, warming drawer, gas stove with pot filler, and beverage refrigerator. Cook a big meal or go out. You’ve got options. Laundry detergent and shampoo/conditioner are available. Wi-Fi and Nest thermostats are provided in both units. The lake is visible from the den and a couple of bedrooms as well as the long front porch where you can enjoy your morning coffee or a book while sitting on a rocking chair or the porch swing. I grew up in the area and I'm excited to help you plan your stay and enjoy a wonderful time away with your people. The lake path and the park and library are right across the street. Walk to Inspire Coffee or Starbucks, restaurants, shops of all kinds, the beach or the Riviera boat dock to catch a delightful boat tour. So many fun things to do! Skip the parking and walk. It’s all right there. I’m excited for the opportunity to serve you and your group! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker -

Just love this house, this was our second time staying there and we booked it again for next year already. The host is amazing, makes homemade cookies, brought us extra beach towels and did everything within her power to make our stay comfortable. Home is charming, comfortable and properly equipped for large groups. We had two families of 5 each in the main house, grandparents loved having the cottage/apartment detached behind the house. They could visit and then retire to their peace and quiet when they were ready. Cannot say enough great things about this home and host. Is give it 6 stars if I could. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan W. 31 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A wonderful winter getaway We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property.

The hydrangeas out front were blooming and the porch was the perfect spot to hang out for a cup of coffee in the morning and to watch the storm roll in Saturday afternoon. We had 10 girls staying for my bachelorette party and the space was perfect for our group size! Plenty of seating for relaxing and eating in both the living spaces and the kitchen area, and the bedrooms were super comfortable too! Everyone felt like they had plenty of room to make themselves at home and the long island was a great congregating space. The house is just a short walk from the beach and downtown so it worked out really well for us to be able to walk everyone all weekend long. We didn't use the carriage house but it looked so cute when we popped in! Rachel was really quick and easy to communicate with and she left us with delicious cookies that were such a sweet touch! I would 100% recommend this place to anyone and would love to come back!! Thank you for such an amazing stay!! ##### MaryGrace M.

A little problem with basement... grandson had an asthma reaction when down there. So we didn't spend time down there. Guest house was a perfect way for us all to spread out.

It was a great location for walking to town and the water. We also had plenty of common area to hangout and make and enjoy meals together. Given we have a lot of couples in our family we had to get creative with some sleeping situations. If the room in the front living room with a fold out couch had black out curtains that would have been nice. We also had a couple stay in the basement, we brought a queen sized air mattress but having a more permanent sleeping situation down there would have been nice. We were just happy to get the whole family together so we made it work! Rachel the host also made cookies with a sweet handwritten note to greet us when we got there. She was very timely and detailed in her responses to all my questions. Everyone in the group is excited to go back! ##### megan l.

We are a group of college friends all in our early 40's who came up for a Golf trip and played Thursday (night) and Friday/Saturday. Having the guest/coach house was great for those who had to take work calls/less social in the evening. It's a dream kitchen for those who like to cook and suited our group well for big breakfasts prior to our tee times. The rooms were spacious and the bathrooms updated, everything was perfect! I We look forward to returning again very very soon. Rachel (host) was an excellent communicator leading up to and during our stay with questions and updates. We can't thank her enough for the chance to stay at her place. I couldn't click five starts fast enough on this review, highly recommend and although we were a group of guys for our yearly meetup, this place would suit 2-3 families with 6/7 or less kids extremely well also! Thank you! - Rob & friends ##### Robert T.

Walking into the home and seeing cookies on the counter with a welcome note made us feel right at home from the start. Our granddaughter immediately went for the room with the bunk beds and was thrilled to open the closet to find a huge choice of books and a rocking chair. The dining room table was large enough to seat our entire group and the family room was great for watching Disney with the little ones. The primary bedroom was well appointed and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Everything in the house worked perfectly. We absolutely appreciated Rachel giving us things to do and restaurant recommendations before we arrived and especially her letting us know about a special celebration at the lake one of the days we were there. The children loved watching the fireworks from the bedroom window. The proximity of the house to the lake and beach, shopping and restaurants was fantastic. We could walk everywhere. We even walked to a nearby park at the school to use the playground. Rachel is a fantastic hostess and her home is a pleasure to visit. Hopefully we can return soon!! ##### Ann R.

Old home with lots of antique character and yet totally modern classy baths and kitchen! More drawers and cabinets in the kitchen than we could count. We hung out on the front porch and the TV room, ate great meals in the spacious dining room, and mostly just sipped and noshed in the giant kitchen! House is 2 blocks from beautiful Geneva Lake and 2 blocks from shops, bars, cafes and more. Located in a historic neighborhood so we had scenic walks past elegant homes every day. A great stay! Highly recommend Rachel's rental and Lake Geneva for a long weekend. ##### Gail T.
