Shanahan Shores | Delavan Lakefront Cottage
Welcome to Shanahan Shores on Delavan Lake! Our charming lake house offers 50 feet of level south shore frontage, making it the perfect spot for your family getaway. Just steps from the water, you'll enjoy breathtaking views and stunning sunsets. This three-bedroom, two-bathroom vacation rental has everything you need for a stress-free stay, especially if you're traveling with little ones. While the boat is not included, you'll love fishing or swimming off the private pier.
Primary Bedroom: Queen Bedroom 2: 2 Twin Beds Bedroom 3: 1 Full Bed Living Room: 1 Sofa Sleeper
Maximum Occupancy: 8 Guests (No additional guests allowed on the property)
Our cozy lake house is thoughtfully equipped with family-friendly amenities, including two highchairs, a booster seat, a Pottery Barn crib, a changing table, step stool, potty seat, and a bath seat. Each bedroom features blackout curtains and a white noise machine for a restful night's sleep. For water fun, we provide an "aqua lily pad" and inflatable rafts for swimming off the pier. In the evenings, gather around the lakeside fire pit to roast s'mores under the stars.
Inside, you'll find Smart TVs throughout the home so you can log in and stream your favorite shows. Please note there is no cable TV service but there is high-speed wifi internet.
The outdoor space also includes a dining table and chairs, a Weber grill with a propane tank, and a gated deck to keep little explorers safe. The deck features a playhouse and kids' table. Inside, you'll find a cabinet stocked with games for family fun on rainy days.
Delavan Lake is a quick drive from the Chicagoland area, just under two hours from the city and western suburbs. The lake is perfect for fishing, boating, and relaxing, with a maximum depth of 52 feet. Please note that as the summer season progresses, lake grass grows and water clarity can be low.
For boat rentals and dining, we recommend Lake Lawn Lodge and The Inn Between. The Watershed bar/restaurant is within walking distance, while Fontana is just a 10-minute drive and Lake Geneva only 15 minutes away by car.
Parking is limited to two cars parked tandem style. There is no room for a boat trailer. No smoking on the property. No pets allowed. No parties.
After confirming your reservation, please provide your email address so we can send an electronic guest rental agreement. This property enforces a 25+ age requirement for booking and occupancy, and is professionally managed by Elite Lake Rentals. Please note that security cameras are present on the exterior of the property.
Come experience lakefront living at its finest. We look forward to hosting you at Shanahan Shores!

The house was very accommodating.
Back deck shaded in the afternoon.
75 steps to the large dock.
Found Large Blue gill fishing in the bay.
Nice boating lake.
Would definitely rent again 💯
We totally enjoyed our stay. Home was very clean, thoughtfully supplied, and very cozy and comfortable. Owners have gone out of their way to provide what vacationers need. Very child friendly also! Peaceful! Thank you.
Loved this property. Here for a Thanksgiving visit with nearby family. Great view of the lake , all the needed extras for an easy visit were in place.
Property management was very responsive to a simple question and particulars about the property were published in advance , which made things easy.
Perfect lake house for my family of 5 plus grandma to enjoy the week! Tons of kids toys and equipment made travel easy! Very clean. Thanks for a great week.
We had a lovely time staying next to Lake Delavan. The house was perfect for us, including the location, yard, and firepit. Camp fires every night next to a beautifully peaceful lake...perfect. This was our first trip to WI and we chose very well! Thoroughly recommend this house!!
Location was right on the lake. Unit was clean. More coffee cups and glasses would be helpful. Sitting outside by the lake is wonderful. Enjoyed seeing wildlife like geese and herons. Located down a steep hill. Limited options for walkers and joggers. TV is streaming only, not preferrable.
Had an amazing weekend! Enjoyed spending time with family. The home we stayed at was beautiful clean and perfect! Great hosts so accommodating. Will definitely stay here again!!!
Simply a beautiful quintessential Wisconsin Lake setting! The home is charming and updated nicely! You will love the long dock with the Adirondack chairs to sit and enjoy!
Our stay was great. We had an awesome time spending time together on the water. The house was clean and had no problem sleeping 7 people. Overall, everyone loved it and would definitely stay again.
Great vacation home for our family. The home is beautiful and update. Loved sitting around the fire and the long dock with the Adirondack chairs. Rental process was smooth and easy - very well set up and everything we needed.
We had a great time at this clean, cute, lake cottage.
Pictures dont do the home justice - its better than it looks and we cant wait to come back next summer.
-Great for 6+ adults or 1-2 families w/kids.
-right on Lake Delavan with superb water frontage and huge pier.
-we visited local spots on foot: Watershed Saloon was great while The Shore (convenience store and bar!) was fantastic.
We had such a great time during our stay at this property. Everything was very clean and the lake was awesome. There are such beautiful views of the lake from the house. It is close to downtown Lake Geneva. The property owners were absolutely wonderful to work with. They responded in a timely manner and even let us check-in early. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet little getaway.
This was a great vacation home for our two young children! It has everything you need-sound machines, high chairs, boosters, toys! My boys had a blast. It’s located a bit further from lake Geneva-about 15-20 minutes but less than 10 minutes from Fontana and Williams Bay which is beautiful and significantly less crowded. A great place to stay with littles!
Rental process was very easy. There were no issues with the property, Any questions the host communicated almost instantaneously via text or phone.
Fire ring was a wonderfully relaxing time in the evenings, and catching bluegill off the dock was great fun.
