About this property

Private Beach & Pier on Lake Como, 5 mins to downtown LG - Walk to Mars Resort!

Built in 2008, this seven bedroom, four bath home is perfectly positioned on the south shores of Lake Como in Lake Geneva and provides breathtaking views of the lake, Geneva National Golf Course and the Ice Castles in the winter of 2022! It's a beautiful home with four floors of living space and provides ultimate lake living! For a virtual tour of this home, visit https://real.vision/w4110-west-end?o=u.

The first floor has two bedrooms with queen beds in each, a large kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, three ovens, a breakfast bar and a large dining room table that all together sits 17. We have a high chair available, too.

There's a living room, a sitting room and a full bath. There's also a large deck with a barbecue grill, that extends across the entire back of the house and wraps around the front.

The second floor offers a master bedroom with a bathroom and walk-in shower and access to the lakeside balcony. There are four other bedrooms on the second floor, two with twin beds in each, one with a queen bed and the other with bunk beds (with a full size on the bottom) and a twin bed with a pull out trundle bed. There's also a full bath with a large soaking tub and walk-in shower as well as a large laundry room with full size washer and dryer. There's a large balcony that extends across the back of the house and is accessible from two of the bedrooms. A pack and play is available, as well, for the little ones.

The third floor is a game room with is perfect for the kids. It's here you'll find a giant doll house, a lego table and a video game area.

The lower level features a large family room, a full bathroom with an additional washer and dryer and a wet bar. It's a walkout lower level that leads to a patio with a retractable awning so you can enjoy the afternoon sun without getting too hot and an expansive lawn perfect for yard games that leads to the beach and pier. There's a small fire pit in the yard as well as yard games including Corn Hole Toss and Bocce for your enjoyment as well as beach toys and rafts.

The private pier that will comfortably fit two boats and the private sandy beach has a gradual incline into the water. It's perfect for kids of all ages. Two kayaks are included with the rental. The pier is typically in the water from April-October, depending on the weather.

The lake is approximately 10 feet at it's deepest, so it's a perfect lake for boating, tubing, waterskiing, swimming, fishing and more. In fact, there are World Barefoot Waterski Champions that live and train on the lake!

For those lucky enough to stay for the fourth of July, you'll enjoy unobstructed views of the Geneva National fireworks display from the comfort of your own vacation home. During the winter of 2022, the Ice Castles will be built on the grounds of the Geneva National Golf Course and overlooking our house. These ice castles are over 40 feet tall with interactive elements including slides, fountains, look out towers, and with led lights that move to the music. Tickets can be found at the Ice Castles website. There will be four additional castles built inNorth America, including Utah, Colorado, New Hampshire and Canada.

The house is located just three miles west of Downtown Lake Geneva and all the shopping, entertainment, theaters and restaurants it has to offer. You'll also be two doors away from the famous Mars Resort Bar & Restaurant with a piano bar and outdoor seating on the lake. They serve great food in a fun and comfortable setting and have outdoor entertainment occasionally on summer afternoons by the lake, which can be enjoyed from this house! In the evenings, the restaurant is busy, but it's a quiet dining crowd. Also within walking distance is the restaurant at the French Country Inn, which was a famous hangout for gagsters int he 1930's. It's a fun atmosphere on the lake and great food too!

You'll also be able to walk to the Ridge Hotel and their spectacular outdoor Bar 55 on the Veranda. It's here you'll find a giant fire pit, a tiki-style bar and even a pool where you can purchase day passes. The Ridge also offers live entertainment on select days throughout the month. It's great to be on the lake, have access to three restaurants on foot and yet be only 3 miles away from downtown Lake Geneva!

The local resorts have year round activities to keep our visitors busy all year. Winter is a great time to visit, as we are located near two ski hills, with ice fishing on the lake, great cross country skiing, ice skating and sledding nearby. Autumn is a beautiful time, as well, with gorgeous foliage throughout the area including breathtaking views across the lake. There are also orchards for apple picking and many fall and Halloween events to enjoy. Spring, too, is a great time. With the ice gone, Lake Como and Geneva come back to life! There is a strawberry and blueberry farm for picking up the street and plenty of other fun seasonal things to do and see.

For larger groups, we have a second vacation rental property located next door to the east, which sleeps 12 and is one of the most popular vacation rentals in town.

We look forward to having you stay with us and can provide plenty of ideas on ways to make the most of your time here in Lake Geneva. For a virtual tour of the property, visit: https://real.vision/w4110-west-end.

Winter Family Getaway
This house is quite cozy, great location situated right on the lake front. Please see list below for opportunities for improvement:Smoke detector- battery missing from one of the smoke detectors, there was also chirping during the middle of the night so there are others that needs to a replaced at the least.Bathrooms- disappointed in how dingy with some areas of the bathrooms were before use, along with mold in the showersBathroom overflowing- please set up the guest for success. Advise having a posted protocol and a heads up of plumbing issuesOn arrival, the floors looked dingy even before settling in. The floors and carpets need a deep cleaning throughout the house, you can see dust bunny in the nooks and corners of some of the rooms. The kids pants’ developed dark circles from kneeling / sitting on the carpets. Ensure ALL the rooms have extra comforters The mattresses in some of the beds on the second floors need to be replaced. My boys reports the beds in the main floor are comfortable. The dishwashers has a strange order when you open it after it completes its cleaning. It might need a deep cleaning, it smells like old mold. Again, the house is nice and the location is stupendous. My family hopes this is helpful feedback, our intentions is to help you improve the the experience for future guests.

A great family getaway
My family really enjoyed our stay at the Lake House. It was very big, beautiful and clean. I have stayed at several vacation homes and this was the best appointed house I have ever stayed in. We didn’t need to bring anything but our food and drinks. Lots of games to play, plenty of TP and towels. The rooms were all spacious. There were 10 of us, all women, and plenty of space to be together and room enough to be alone if you wished.

Multi generation family reunion!
12 of us (age range 18 to 85) had a spectacular stay at this home on the water. Beautiful home, excellent location, huge backyard where we spent most of our time if not on the lake during the day, and spacious living room and dining room for home cooked meals/grilling at night. Ali was excellent at responding to questions and requests for recommendations before and during our stay - thank you Ali! We loved being near Mars Resort and weekend live music. If you like sunsets, this house is the perfect spot to watch them..

Stayed at the lakehouse with my adult children and grandchildren. Space was fantastic. Kids loved the beach and even rented a boat for the stay. Several trips and live music at Mars 2 doors down. Lots of well maintained space to spread out, have meals and relax. Loved the bar downstairs.

We've stayed at this property 4 years in a row now and there's no need for us to look anywhere else. It's close to town, walking distance from Mars Resort, and has a beautiful view. The inside is updated and cozy, it's spacious and well laid out with every amenity you could possibly want.

Beautiful home
Thrilled to have stayed at this property! My friends and I have stayed for a girls weekend at the property next door several years in a row. When it was unavailable for the dates we needed, we opted for this home instead, same property manager (always had a good experience). We were blown away by the spaciousness and amenities! We upgraded our stay this year and will likely never look back! Excited to book again for next year’s get-together!

Gorgeous Location
Each year I have an annual lake house trip with about 13 - 16 guests. This year I had to find a new rental as our regular one was unavailable. I was extremely hesitant to find a new location but this one was an absolute gem. Plenty of sleeping spaces for my crew (they didn't mind doubling up in the larger beds) and an incredible number of activities and places to relax. The house was very clean, checkout policies were honestly amazing - less work than we have had to do in the past, and the communication with the owner was really good. I'm hoping we can now make this our annual getaway in Wisconsin from here on out! Thanks so much!

We thoroughly enjoyed our family time together over the holidays. The house is beautiful and roomy with everything needed to prepare meals and enjoy the views. Even though the weather was cloudy and gray outside, the inside was warm and beautiful with family and a Christmas tree!
