Lakefront, Private Dock, Pet Friendly, Fire Pit

Summary:
In every season, picturesque Delavan Lake offers a unique and unrivaled collection of charms.

The Space:
In the summer, the lake comes alive with the laughter of families enjoying watersports and picnics on the shore. Winter transforms the area into a winter wonderland, perfect for ice fishing, skiing, snowshoeing, and cozy evenings by the fire. At Sunset Getaway set right along the shores of this tranquil lake, all of this can be yours to enjoy, along with your family, friends, and furry companions too!

Fill your days with water-themed activities under sunny Wisconsin skies, swimming and playing from the home’s private dock. Grill up a delicious barbeque feast on the grill, afterward enjoying your meal al fresco on the shaded deck. Don’t feel like cooking? You’ll find 2 restaurants within walking distance of the home, along with a convenience store for staying stocked up on all the necessities. As the day winds down, gather around the firepit to swap stories of your adventures while toasting up a round of tasty treats.

When you’re ready to take things up a notch, head on over to downtown Lake Geneva for eclectic dining, shopping, and entertainment possibilities, while the larger body of water of Geneva Lake is waiting to host all your boating and watersport adventures whether taking a leisurely sunset tour of the lake or renting your own vessel to explore the shores yourself.

The home’s bright and open interior provides enough space for everyone to spread out and find their own private corner, with communal spaces designed to maximize connectivity and relaxation. Curl up in the cozy living room on plush sofa seating to binge episodes of your favorite shows on the smart TV.

Our party of 9 (4 adults, 5 young people) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We rented a boat, and the pier worked great to tie up the boat. The property was well furnished inside and out for a comfortable stay. We spent a lot of time on the water with the boat either swimming, tubing or simply cruising to enjoy the beautiful sunsets.

Great family weekend getaway!

We made lots of fun family memories here this past weekend. Great house, with comfortable beds and you can not beat the view! Our young daughter loved making smores at night in the fire pit and fishing off the dock. We also rented a boat from the owner’s brother and that was a great experience as well. Highly reccomend this property and we look forward to staying here again!

Great vacation

Very nice home, well suited for families. The house had plenty of space for adults and babies. The beds are great for a mix of adults and children. Great location on lake. The grill needed a good cleaning is the only reason I gave it a 4 for cleanliness. We would definitely consider another stay there!

Great place for a girls weekend!

Stayed with several moms for a much needed get away. The view was gorgeous, enough beds, towels and space for all of us. Home was clean and instructions to access the home were clear and easy. Location was close to everything -- wineries, Lake Lawn Lodge, restaurants. Ross was easy to connect with!

A Very Cozy Cottage!

My sisters and I thoroughly enjoyed this cozy lake cottage for our annual girls-only reunion! A couple of rainy days did not dampen our enthusiasm and provided time for in-door activities such as yoga, watercolor painting, reminiscing, relaxing and lots of laughter. We enjoyed a hike through a near-by state park as well as brunches and dinners at several restaurants in Geneva. The on-line description and photos were accurate and the cottage was clean upon our arrival. The owner quickly answered all of my pre-rental questions and was very accommodating and easy to work with. He even offered to reduce the price of the rental since our dates did not include a weekend! We've been spoiled by previous reunions in San Francisco, Breckenridge CO, etc., but the proximity of this location to Chicago and Milwaukee also provided opportunities for the kinds of things we like to do together such as visits to the Chicago Botanic Gardens and the Milwaukee Art Museum and wine tastings. I have already recommended it to my daughter and her family for a nearby get-away in the spring!

Potential Allergy Concerns

I can't recommend this place to others that might have allergies (most likely mold, cats or dust mites). My wife was only in the house for about an hour before her allergies kicked in so bad that she had to stay at a hotel while my family and I stayed at the house. We brought this to the attention of the owner, along with pictures of where rain was leaking in the back wall and what appeared to be mold on insulation against a basement window, but he disagrees with our assessment. While he did compensate us for one night (despite us having to cut the vacation short by more than one night), and that made up for the cost of the hotel room, the whole point of renting a house is to spend time with (all of your) family, which wasn't possible and we weren't reimbursed for.

Great home, location, and community!

We had a great early summer stay at this lakefront property. The home was very comfortable and clean, with some great features! Loved the views of the lake from the upstairs bedroom and balcony, and the family room and porch. My family enjoyed fishing off the private pier every day, and sitting out on the porch and by the firepit. The neighborhood was very friendly with a great community feel. The easy walk/drive to the Shore Store was fun and convenient. Easy drive to shopping and restaurants too! We would definitely love to stay here again!

Ice fishing with friends

House was good location some things needed a little updating. I expected the wow factor when we walked in because of the host fees and it wasn’t there. no extras there was not a baggie not aluminum foil to be seen. we did have salt and pepper at least worth the price of the rental, but watch the host fee very disappointed in that.

Lake Delavan VRBO

We found the property to be as stated as on the web site. Only recommendations that I would make, and they are minor: Do away with one of the bunk beds and add a queen bed and get a larger gas grill. Overall, the house and the boat dock were great.
