Beautiful house in a fantastic location! All the extra touches are there to make your stay pleasant, plus the convenience to the lake and local (very good) restaurants was a real bonus.Highly recommended!
We were staying close to family and absolutely loved be able to take our morning walks down to the beach. The house was very clean and the kitchen was filled with creator comforts. Great place!
Great house. Close location to Lake Geneva. Perfect for the 5 of us. Since it was cold, didn’t get to use the deck or backyard, but a very nice setup in the yard.
Very family and kid friendly. Good location and walking distance to lake, restaurants, coffee shop and playground. The cottage itself is very cute and was spacious for our group (4 adults + baby). We’d go back!
We had a fabulous time at this property!
Jason was very courteous and a wonderful host!
The house was perfect for our little stay cation in Williams Bay... clean, cozy, comfortable & SO CLOSE to everything!
Highly rexommend thos host!!!
Blue Cottage had everything we needed. Located on a quiet street just a quick walk to restaurants and shops. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking at home. Super comfy beds. The house was extremely clean and well maintained. Jason, the host was easy to work with and very quick to respond with any questions.
We loved our stay here. Williams Bay is a beautiful, smaller community on the Lake and was only 10 minutes from downtown Lake Geneva. The house was very nice and had all the things we desired. Would highly recommend others stay here!
This house is very nice. Everything is brand new. The yard and deck are great spaces for enjoying the beauty of Williams Bay. The owner is very accommodating.
Amazing home and even cuter in person. Very clean and well decorated. Had everything we needed and only a few blocks from downtown Williams Bay. Jason was extremely responsive in addressing any questions. I will definitely book this property again and would highly recommend it to others!
My husband and I really enjoyed our recent stay. The house was really cute and clean. The couches and ned were very comfortable. The outside deck is great. We appreciated our communications with Jason. It was a great and relaxing home away from home. We look forward to returning next year!
We loved our stay! Everything was just as mentioned in the listing. We were a group of five adults and had plenty of space. The home was beautiful and had all of the key necessities. We loved the coziness and homeliness of the house. We sat out on the porch in the afternoons and grilled out one night. Would definitely stay here again.
I stayed here with a friend for a little girls getaway weekend and the location was great! We were just a short drive from Lake Geneva and we visited Harpoon Willies down the road from this property & sat in the patio area overlooking the lake. The house was beautifully decorated (we both are now inspired to redecorate our homes) and the outdoor area was lovely. The house was extremely clean and well taken care of. The listing pictures are accurate. We definitely would recommend staying here!
