We have access to a designated area for boats and trailers. The public boat launch is only three short blocks away.
Need more space reserve the 6 bedroom Nautical A home right next door that can accommodate 17 more guests. You could bring your group total to 34 if needed.
Winter is a great time to visit with Alpine Valley & Wilmot Mountain having some of the best skiing and tubing hills around, ice skating at Library Park right in downtown Lake Geneva, great cross country skiing at Big Foot Beach State Park and Kettle Moraine State Park and the Lake Geneva sledding hill just a few blocks from the Nautical homes.
Autumn is spectacular with all the gorgeous foliage throughout the area. Apple and pumpkin picking, Oktoberfest weekend in downtown Lake Geneva and almost a weekend does not go by without a fall festival bustling in one of the surrounding towns.
Lake Geneva in the Spring is a great time to visit, flowers are all starting to bloom, boats and piers are surfacing on the lake and all the local Farmers Markets start emerging. And of course, who doesn't love the more than 20 golf courses in the area that all start opening!!

We booked the house for a ladies trip in February. Proximity/walkability was fantastic. Close to shops, restaurants, the Lake! The house was big enough that we could all fit without it feeling cramped.
Comfortable space for dining and group gathering. Kitchen accommodates several people working together. Very thorough information about our stay beforehand.
Thanks Tony and Samantha!
House was clean. Good location.
We were all guys so certain things we may overlook
1st floor bathroom has a gap in door.
2nd floor bathroom needs the shower rod replaces as its all rusty.
Place had enough dishes and utensils. No dishwasher.
Would be convenient if there were soaps in the wash basins and showers.
Overall , Comfortable place , good location.
We had a good time.
My family and I (9 total and over 65 yrs) were celebrating a big birthday and decided to rent this home, in Lake Geneva. This is an older home located easily within walking distance of downtown Lake Geneva. (Quick suggestion: If you're able to walk keep you vehicle parked at the house, since you have to pay to park in the entire downtown area.)
So the home was very clean with plenty of room for big families. If you have mobility issues, please be aware there are 4 upstairs bedrooms and the stairs are very steep and narrow. Also, the upstairs shower is in a tub and can be slippery. Despite having grab bars.
We did have a couple of small issues which Sam took care of quickly and were remedied to our satisfaction.
Thanks for being such gracious hosts!!
The property was perfect for our group of ten women. Close to downtown and the lake with easy walking. Three bathrooms, and very clean. Big table, big kitchen, comfortable living room, comfy beds. Great communication with the property owner. We loved it here!
We had and incredible time and loved the house. Could not have been more perfect for our holiday weekend with friends. The kids loved it. Close to the beach and downtown. Highly recommend!
The property was advertised as having an ice maker and didn't. TV access should have been included in instructions. Everyone liked the location.

Great Location, Great House!!
The house is just a short walk to restaurants and shops. Walking distance to the beach makes it a great location for any size party. Tony was great in being available for questions and help when we needed it. The house was clean and well kept. Plenty of beds for everyone to sleep in. We will definitely be back!! Awesome location and house!!
Place was perfect for our group of 8 (originally planned for 11). We all fit around the large kitchen table or on large sectional. Everything was clean and as we had hoped. Walking distance to shopping and dining. Samantha was very quick to respond to any questions we had. Would definitely recommend/stay again.
We came to Lake Geneva for my sister’s bachelorette party with 8 girls and had so much space! The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook, and it was such a cute home. There was even a second apartment that we didn’t use, but could be perfect if someone needs a little more personal space! Thank you so much!
As an avid Lake Geneva visitor, this house is absolutely the perfect location. It's a simple walk (3 blocks) to the water and restaurants and it gives you enough privacy that you don't feel like you are dealing with all of the big crowds on Main street and Wrigley Drive. The outside backyard was great, plenty of seating and we used the grill every night. Fantastic owner!!! Forget about staying at the hotels in LG they are worn down and not worth it.
This property is awesome and worked incredibly well for a couple of families with age ranges from 4 to 21. The apartment worked very well for the older boys to stay in and be isolated when they wanted to go. Tony was an incredible and accommodating host, very communicative and easy to work with. The yellow house with the shade in the afternoon on the patio setting was nice. We will definitely be back soon! Thanks Tony!

Girls Weekend!
We chose this house in Lake Geneva for our annual girls weekend and we couldn't have chosen a better place. The house was very clean and had plenty of space. The decor was awesome! It was perfect for hanging out and walking distance to downtown. Our host Tony was great! He responded to any questions promptly. He let us check in earlier to get our weekend started and let us check out later to enjoy a lazy last morning. We would definitely come back and highly recommend!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Mold
The showers were disgusting. Mold all over. Floor was uneven in the house. Lots of couch and table space for big groups. But showers made us not even want to shower.
Group of 10 busy moms’ getaway. Enjoyed the shared spaces. Easy walk to shopping, restaurants, coffee shops and lake. Loved this location. Was perfect for our group for late night talks and morning coffee. One suggestion - room darkening shades? The bright lights of the bank next door and other street lights definitely disturbed the resting time for a bunch of us sleep-deprived women. Other than that, an overall lovely place, great communication and the space fulfilled all our needs!
We needed room for our family to stay because we had a funeral for my husband.
They were great helping us get in early and leave a little later. Would recommend this house. It was just what we needed.
The house was great for my family consisting of myself three daughters, their spouses and five grandkids. Their were a couple of minor but I contacted the owner and he resolved very quickly. I highly recommend this house for families.
My friends and I stayed at this for a bachelorette party weekend. There were 8 of us and we all slept comfortably and had plenty of space. Samantha was so wonderful to work with. She texted and emailed me prior of the trip with all of the information. She was also so quick to respond when I texted her while we were staying there. The house was perfectly clean and organized, and contained all of the amenities listed. Check- in and check-out was very easy because the owners left a detailed checklist and directions for use. The location of this house is just a few minute walk into downtown, you can literally walk everywhere! This house would be our first choice when we return to Lake Geneva!
We enjoyed the property, the location and all the Lake Geneva area had to offer. We would suggest the instructions for the property be simplified and updated with correct wifi information. We would definately stay here again.
Thank you.
