The property was nice. Key pad was easy to use and straight forward. Everything we needed was waiting for us. The porch out front was our favorite spot! We sat out there for hours with coffee or drinks and just enjoyed the surroundings! Beds were comfortable. Overall a really nice place!

The property is in a great location, the beds are comfortable, house is clean. Check-in process was unreasonably difficult and involved going to the woman who lives on the other connected side of the house. Property manager provided 1 beach pass for our troubles (there were 4 of us). Not a great start to the vacation. Luckily we were using the house for overflow guests for a larger family reunion so we were not there much.

The Bay House was wonderful- so charming! The front porch is the perfect place to relax/enjoy a meal, and the beautiful plants. The bedrooms were perfectly sized for our 2 daughters. There is a wonderful ice cream shop just steps away from the house. And less than 10 minute walk to get to the beach. We will definitely be back!

My husband, our dog, and I truly enjoyed our stay in this clean and comfortable home. The location is perfect, close to Lake Geneva and Fontana while being able to walk to many Williams Bay attractions. This is a great place to relax and get out of the city. I highly recommend.

Great relaxing spot for a few days away from home. Can't wait to be back in the nice weather to enjoy the outdoors. Super comfy beds, good shower pressure and great restaurants within walking distance. Me, mom, daughter and the pups had a great time!

Cute small place that can accommodate a good size group. We went to ski at Alpine and it was a perfect locations close to everything. Only downside is 1 bathroom for so many people and no dryer or washer. Other than that, holly was great and the place was stocked and we even got to check in early. Would recommend and would stay again.

We enjoyed a weekend in Williams Bay. Although the weather didn't cooperate for the fire pit and a good lake walk we all had a great time. Your place was perfect for our needs! Clean, warm and cozy and our pup was welcome too. Thanks!!

We love this little home which is a perfect in-between location for family coming from Chicago, Madison, and the Fox Valley area. Not in the bustle of Lake Geneva but close enough to enjoy all that Lake Geneva has to offer. Nice quiet neighborhood within walking distance of coffee and ice cream shops, restaurants and the beach.

Another great trip
Our annual trip to the Bay House did not disappoint. We may have had too much ice cream to eat, but everything else was perfect. Great host! Thank you!

We had a great time in Williams bay. The house was great for us and our two dogs. It’s hard to find places that allow pets so we really appreciate those that do! The location was very close to the lake as well as a dog park. We would stay here again!

Some of my family and I stayed here for a weekend away and the house was perfect. Location was prime, short drive to anything really. We definitely loved the front porch seating area to drink coffee in the morning and wine in the evening.

What a fabuloius lake cottage! We loved the close-to-everything location, well thought out design and decor, and the super cool history of the place itself. We loved the big, covered front porch with porch swing, and the cozy vibe in the living area too. The host was awesome at communicating with us and any questions we had. We would for sure stay again!

I loved this rental. Beds extremely comfortable, all around very clean, nice touches with shampoo and conditioners. Around corner from lake. Didn’t like neighbors playing music but didn’t last long. I’ll rent again here and never have I said that!

Communication with Holly was fantastic. The check-in process was smooth and the location was great. We were able to walk to a few restaurants and walk to the beach access on the lake. The house was a short 10 minute drive to downtown Lake Geneva. We greatly enjoyed our stay!

Girls weekend!
I took my 19 year old daughter and 70 year old mother to Lake Geneva for a girls weekend to celebrate my daughters birthday. This is the cutest little house located about 10 minutes from the town of Lake Geneva in a village called Williams Bay (still on the lake). Pictures are accurate. The street is quiet, but you can walk two blocks to the ice cream parlor, spa, grocer, gas station, the lake, and a few restaurants. After spending an entire day in the town of Lake Geneva shopping, walking on the lake, etc. it was awesome to get away from all the people and come home to our quiet little retreat.
We each had our own bedroom. The one bathroom was easy to share and nicely updated. The kitchen was small, but had everything we needed (and we ate all but one meal here). The bonus was the adorable front porch where we ate dinner every night and played games as well. The tree out front was in full bloom and it was a beautiful view.
Holly, the owner, couldn’t be more pleasant and was very responsive. The caretaker for the property, Phyllis, lives in the adjoining apartment, but we never had to bother her and wouldn’t have even known she was there.
I’ve had several VRBO experiences, and this one is near the top of the list. If you’re looking to check out Lake Geneva, skip the expensive hotels there and stay at the Bay House. You won’t regret it!

Great stay!
We enjoyed our short getaway to Williams Bay! The home is in a great location to walk to the lake, restaurants, ice cream, etc. we were able to easily get around with our stroller and two young kids. Also an easy drive to Geneva/ the dancing horse theater/ the animal safari. The house itself is very nicely decorated with a great front porch.
We gave a 4/5 for cleanliness because I think we stayed after some type of party: we were finding gold confetti everywhere.
