Perfect place to stay for a surprise birthday weekend. We were able to utilize the game room, the kayaks and had a pontoon delivered. Jeff made communication easy and had us reach out with the any questions. Overall the place was clean, the outside furniture could use a wipe down or spray just cobwebs and such. We would would definitely stay again!

For a group of 12-14 with small children or 10-12 adults, this is a comfortable space with a large living room, a great view of the lake and dock access for boating. The area is nice with lot of small towns nearby and nice places to hike nearby

Convenient location from Chicago suburbs, lakefront with boat rental option, nice lake with good fishing, house was well equipped to meet most needs, home had good layout for dining and gatherings on main floor, with finished basement for additional entertaining and sleeping.

Perfect house to celebrate my 40th birthday with friends and family. The house has everything you need, fully equipped kitchen, towels, pillows,blankets if needed…games and a lot more, even a hot tub. The backyard and the view were amazing! The owner was very responsive and helpful . Our family and friends loved the house and had a great time! We highly recommend it and can’t wait to go back!

Great property filled with lots of amenities, activities and games. Jeff was a great host and really helpful

This house and location were just what we needed to celebrate a couple of our friends turning 40. The house had everything we needed to grill out and to cook food. The view was beautiful! We had a huge group and there was space for everyone to play games or sit around a chat. The owner was quick to respond to any questions we had. Everyone loved the house and we had a great time. We added more memories to our big list of group outings that we have all shared together. I highly recommend this house and location looking for a relaxing getaway.

Our family and friends had a Spring Break. Even our pets too! The lake is beautiful & the sunset is just breathtaking. Although it’s chilly outside, the Lake House has plenty of activities for all ages. We enjoyed the hot tub especially at night with spectacular sky full of stars. There’s not a thing that we need that isn’t in the house. Jeff made sure that we’re going to have a great time & he delivered.

easy to work with , lots of activities in the area

Jeff was very responsive and the place fit our family well. Looks like it would be a blast in the summer!

Relaxing

We really enjoyed the spacious living areas for game nights and fun family meals. We would definitely return in summer to enjoy the water as well!

Very beautiful property Host was very nice, I am glad that I have spent my time at this property. Will come again

Took 14 people to stay at the lake house, we had a wonderful time. Location and house was perfect for our party. And Jeff (owner) was very responsive and helpful.

Awesome house, great locations and easy access to towns

Jeff was easy to communicate with and timely in his responses. We had a friend in a wheelchair so Jeff bought a moveable ramp so she could navigate the entrance. Downtown Richmond is quaint with good restaurants and downtown Lake Geneva is only 20 minutes away so it was an easy drive without having to deal with all the LG crowds.

Siblings together for a long weekend. It was fantastic! We all agreed we want to do it again next year! Thank you Jeff! Great host!

We stayed here for a friends bachelorette party. The house and the view were beautiful! Jeff was so helpful and responsive throughout the planning process and during our stay. The house has everything you need— dishes, spices, beds, linens, towels, blankets, etc. We all truly loved our stay here and it comfortably slept 16 adults without requiring anyone sleep on couches (although you definitely could as the couches were very comfortable!). Jeff also has a ton of outdoor materials. The kayaks were great and we used one of the grills. The backyard space was HUGE. I’d love to come back in the summer and spend more time outdoors. Thanks Jeff!

This is the second time we stayed in the Twin Lakes area. The house and the owner were terrific. House met all our needs and the family had fun. Thanks Jeff.

Our family had a great time relaxing at the Lakeview house. There were things for all ages to enjoy and places for a quiet retreat if you were looking for one. The house was clean, spaceous and well furnished. We hope to return next year.

A rough start got better as the owner/host (Jeff) was very responsive, but in the end too many issues outweighed the benefits for our group of 12 adults, 1 senior, and 5 kids. Check-in was a fail when we didn't hear from Jeff until more than an hour after check-in time. Once we gained access, all the beds were stripped and unmade, and the floors were unclean. We learned the person hired to do the cleaning prior to our arrival had an emergency and was unable to complete the task. Jeff did provide us with a refund on the cleaning fees as well as the new linens, towels and pillows we purchased. Other issues included birds nests (i.e. fire hazards) on electrical boxes and vents, weeks old mold and mildew in downstairs showers (which Jeff did clean with bleach after we reported), outdoor wood stairs broken railing loosely held together with duct tape (which almost created fall for 89 year old grandma), disorganized kitchen drawers with some serving items without liners, severely scratched kitchen pans, unusable rusted outdoor grills, rusted outdoor metal chair broke and nearly impaled one person (which Jeff came the next day to repair), kitchen sink tarnished enough we had to buy some plastic liners, unmaintained items at pier unsafe for children to be near, moldy old (owner's) food in downstairs refrigerator, and spider webs in areas one would assume are easy to access during routine cleaning. The above issues caused four adults to leave for a nearby hotel the first night of our stay, and two others to leave for a hotel after three nights at the lake house. They did return during the day for family fun and activities, but were simply too uncomfortable to sleep over each night. On the other hand, we all enjoyed beautiful western views and sunsets over the lake. The open air kitchen, living room and dining areas were great to get all of us to be in the same room. The house provided fairly reliable WiFi service (we had to reboot server once or twice during the week), and provided some great streaming options on the TV. We also enjoyed fun indoor and outdoor games that were provided, the kayaks and paddleboard, and enjoyed the overall quaintness and natural beauty of the Richmond, IL and Twin Lakes, WI areas. Thus, if your group is relatively low maintenance and doesn't mind some unkept equipment or somewhat unsanitary conditions, then this could be considered an excellent choice. For those that have high sanitation standards, reconsider.

This property perfectly met all of our needs. We had a group of 14 celebrating my mother's 80th birthday. The home was spacious and had a very large sectional and other seating in the living room allowing all of us to easily be together. There is a very cool little bar and restaurant about 5 houses down the street. Jeff, the owner, was fully engaged and responsive. He also has a relationship with the boat store that delivered and picked up the pontoon boat we rented. We had one day that was a rainout and they waived all fees for that day ! Our only issues the temperature (very, very cold) in the lower levels, single ply toilet paper (c'mon at the ultra luxury rates charged 2 ply should be in the budget) and the fact there was no cable (he did have a ROKU box for Netflix, etc.). Bottom line, place and location is great and would recommend to anyone considering this area.

Jeff was very easy to communicate with. Property matched online description/pics. Could have been cleaner when we arrived; likely left it cleaner than we received. Also one of the showers was broken, which challenged things a bit for our large group. But overall we enjoyed the stay, location, view, and local experiences.

We were there for my husband's 40th Birthday gathering. We had about 20 guests and there were plenty of beds & space for everyone. It was so nice to wake up to the sunrise. Jeff was very responsive and really nice. The hot tub was definitely a plus for the chilly nights. We had a great time. Looking forward to going back again.

Jeff was great about answer all of our questions, and the nature reserve a short walk away was so beautiful. Our group of 10 adults had a great time at Jeff's place and would definitely return!

The property was clean and well organized for a two night stay with some friends. Jeff was very responsive and helpful. The only bummer was that we were told a small fishing boat was available and ready for us, only to find out there wasnt one... Reallllll let down for the three of us that wanted to get up at dawn to go fishing 😢

The layout and location made this years family gathering the best yet. The comfort and amenities made us all feel at home. Definitely recommend going on a boat on the lake. The owner was very accommodating and helpful. Memorable time for all of us.

Great time, excellent property, great host

We booked Jeff's house a year and a half ago, with the intention of celebrating my 50th with family. Because of Covid, we unfortunately had to delay it a year. We had a wonderful weekend at the house. There are a lot of cool amenities, you won't find at most properties such as it's open layout, spacious backyard, fusball, and ping pong table downstairs. Jeff couldn't have been nicer or more communicative. The town is less remote than we thought, which has its advantages (close to a great, quaint main street with restaurants, bars, and an ice cream shoppe), close to parks and grocery stores, but though situated on a lake, it's not a lake house per se. The house's back is on the lake, but it's not remote. It's in a pretty dense neighborhood. You can't swim off the lake, which I knew going in, but didn't realize how far out it is to swim. Our main disappointment was with the size and cost. Sizewise, there were 18 of us that were supposed to stay there -- mostly adults. It's really best suited for 4 adults (one queen size, and one full bed) and 6 kids (bunk beds, bed in the basement). So, three adults who originally planned to stay went home. We booked it for $1500 a night back in May of 2020, and see that the price has diminished a lot since then, and fairly priced now. There were a few other small things that needed work (shower broken, hot tub unusable), but told Jeff about them, and sure they'll be fixed by the time you stay! I do think it's a perfect place for two families, with kids, who want to experience a bit of small town life and looking for a getaway.

This was an amazing house for our large family - ages 1 to 72. Access to the kayaks was a big hit and rental of a pontoon boat gave the fishermen a chance to get out in the early morning hours. We enjoyed preparing meals on the grills, fire pit and in the kitchen, with plenty of room for everyone to eat together. There were some rainy times but the house provided enough room for puzzles, games and reading. The homeowner was quick to respond to any concerns. After it appeared that the gutters were clogged after a heavy rain, he was there the next morning to clean them. It was a great stay!
