Met Our Needs and Beyond
Great location for "opportunity fun"; however, the one location challenge was the close proximity to the bar next door. Although the noise level was loud, they had great food! Parking availability at the site was limited, but a close free parking lot answered that need. We didn't really use the outside decks and patio due to the cold weather, but it's pretty awesome. Appreciated the communication with our contact for the property.

This property is always well maintained and the property manager available. We have rented here numerous times because the space offers ensuites to most bedrooms. It is great for entertaining. The large outdoor space is nice for a cookout and it has a nice view and lots of seating. Location is Ideal if you want to go into town as you can walk to everything. We had seven couples and it never felt crowded. Its a great getaway.

AC broken majority of the weekend with resolution
The location and overall property were awesome. Loved having many outdoor spaces and so many bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate our large group. The problem was that the AC didn’t work for a good portion of our stay. The owner sent an HVAC out but this didn’t resolve the problem. I spent most of one of our days interacting with the host instead of enjoying my weekend away. Her responses were very short and she seemed irritated every time I reached out. Hopefully the AC will get fixed as otherwise we had a nice stay.

Great location!
We stayed here over our wedding weekend with most of our bridal party and it was perfect! The location was amazing and a 5 minute-ish walk to everything we wanted to do. Tisha was an excellent host and checked in with us to make sure our stay was going well. This is the perfect property if you have a large group as there are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and the main hangout space has plenty of seating. We will be back!

Bachelorette Party Perfection
The Downtowner couldn't have been more perfect for our group. We loved the outdoor area and the ease of getting around downtown LG. Everyone was pleased with the house and would come back again. Having a bathroom in almost all bedrooms was a major perk and we appreciated there being 2 refrigerators as well.

Hi, my name is Tisha. For those of you looking at other properties to rent in Lake Geneva, you may have seen my face before. I also own House in the Woods (#1789245), a 12 bedroom/9 bathroom home on 5 acres just west of downtown LG.
I got in to the vacation rental business in 2015 and really love it! Lake Geneva is such a strong draw for people looking for a beautiful place to spend time and I feel really lucky to have two great properties to offer.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

Not to repeat myself, but it's the location!!! Once you park, you can walk to all that Lake Geneva has to offer.
