The cottage was just as described and perfect for me, my daughter & granddaughter for a short weekday trip. It's located close to the beach and downtown. The owner was very attentive, easy to communicate with and open to suggestions as to how to make our visit better. Hope to return.

good

It was what we needed for a short stay. One thing to note is that if you need bowls or anything for a salad, best to buy one of those salads in a bowl. We had to improvise a bit, but we made do.

Great Place

The location is amazing. Short walk to the lake and downtown. The property was cozy and clean. A stove would have been nice for cooking but we just ended up using the grill. Overall great place for a weekend getaway.

Great cozy house

We had a great time in this cozy house. We are a family of 5 with little kids and it was just perfect. It is a safe place for kids with a huge backyard. We enjoyed location, fires in backyard, brand new grill, and a warm house. Tony was great about communication. Sure we will remember this place to come back

Conveniently located

This is a cute little cottage that was in the perfect location for our needs. Located a short two blocks from the lake, it was only another 5-10 minute walk to downtown, with lake views the whole way. There were two issues, both of which may have been circumstantial. The floor was dirty - looked like it had been cleaned with a dirty mop. Our check in was delayed (which host Tony was very helpful with), but it could be that more time is generally allotted to ensuring the property is clean. Secondly, there was a slight mustiness, which didn’t bother my husband at all, but that I was very sensitive to. We were visiting in late March, which is probably still off season for Lake Geneva, so it could be that the place hadn’t been aired out in some time. All-in-all, it was a fine home-base for our exploration of Lake Geneva and the area.

Cool Cabin Great Location

My wife and I stayed here for our Anniversary. The host, Tony, was awesome! Great communication and he let us check in early so that we could enjoy the entire day in downtown Lake Geneva. We walked downtown in 10-15 minutes several times. It was great! The Lake, Parks, Shops, Bars and restaurants. The cabin was quaint and tucked away with a cool back porch. Perfect place to chill out. We will be back!

Cottage in Lake Geneva

Very convenient, and quiet, cottage for two adults. The cottage has a second queen bed, and a couch that can be used as a single bed, but we feel it would best serve a family with younger children or adults who don’t need much privacy as the second and third beds are in the open living room rather than a second bedroom. It served our purposes well as we did not need a full kitchen for preparing meals. The owner told me he has plans to upgrade the kitchen to include an oven, cook top, and full size refrigerator. The heating and central air unit appear to be new. The bathroom is adequate and contains a shower. The location is good being a 10-15 minute from downtown Lake Geneva. Our main activity during this pandemic period was walking....10 miles from Fontana back to Lake Geneva. The cottage has a television and presumably cable and DVD. It would be useful for luddites like myself to provide some simple instructions for use. The owner was attentive, and probably would have talked me through the process if I’d cared enough to ask. Overall a good stay...I never give a 5 star review, and the only thing preventing a 4 star was the lack of a complete kitchen and the simplicity of the bathroom. Recommended.

Cute little cottage near downtown lake Geneva. Had all the amenities we needed and owner had some wood for us to use in the pit which was nice. Communication with owner was great and checkin process was a code which was a nice quick way to get in.

36 hour vacation

We had a great time staying in this charming cottage just blocks away from the lake. We loved sitting on the porch with our morning coffee. It is a lovely, quiet getaway for two to four persons. Tony was very accommodating and helpful. We hope to come back again soon! Thanks again, Tony, for your hospitality!

very welcoming

Tony was so welcoming and accommodating, we felt at home right away. He apologized for the work that had just been done and wanted to know if there was anything at all we needed. This cottage was clean and warm, a new furnace just installed and it made a real difference. I will return. Thank you Tony.

Absolutely Adorable Cottage, Great Owner!

I stayed here when I had some friends staying in the main house. It is a very nice little cottage. Perfect for a couple or small family! Tony, the owner was great. I left my phone in the cabin, his cleaning crew located the phone, and they were both great about helping me get it back. I can't say enough about the great experience I had with this rental.

Cozy cottage super close to downtown and the lake

My friends and I really enjoyed our stay at this cottage. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go in Lake Geneva because the downtown and the lake are both super close. Also, the place has a very cabin/cottage feel, which is exactly what we were looking for. Tony was very accommodating and was also very responsive when we had questions. I highly recommend this place.

Family bonding under adversity

The cabin location is very close to downtown Lake Geneva albeit no particular view. The property host and his wife are pleasant and communicated well. The furniture and fixtures are of good quality. Important to note that "kitchen" means a sink, a microwave, and 2 small dorm room type refrigerators - no oven. We arrived with food and intent to make full meals. This isn't possible at this cabin. Also I don't recommend for cold weather. There was no thermostat and it took a full 24 hours of space heater and boiling waters on a hot plate for any humidity to get the indoor temp to 65. Also - it's important to note that one of the queen beds is actually part of the same space as the living area. We all learned to get along and survive for 3 days in unexpected conditions.

Hi, I'm Tony Scalzitti, I grew up in Elmwood Park, IL and currently live in Elmhurst, IL. I went to school at the University of St. Francis. I work for Country Financial as a financial representative (Insurance Agent). Geneva Lake is such a beautiful lake for boating, water skiing, fishing or just touring the lake to see some unbeliveable beautiful homes.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is only 2 blocks to downtown Lake Geneva, easy walk to shops, restaurants and beach.

What makes this property unique

This cottage is private as part of a one acre property that is shares with a 4 bedroom house that can be rented separately or together. When there are separate guests staying in each dwelling, there is good separation between them, each with their own private yard space, firepits and driveways. Plenty of privacy between the 2 houses, great setup.
