About this house rental

Book this 1896 charmer **with guest house** for your extended family getaway, golf outing, girls trip, wedding weekend or peaceful and fun retreat of any kind! There are a few summer weekends still available, but consider visiting Lake Geneva midweek as well when there are fewer people in town.

This home is fully updated, brimming with character, spacious and in the middle of everything that Lake Geneva has to offer. It has five bedrooms, three full baths and a hide-a-bed couch in the main house in addition to a guest house with living room, 4th full bath and 6th bedroom. The guest house offers some options for larger groups with some people that need or want a little more separation. Maybe grandma and grandpa want to come along, but would like their own space. Or a young parent with a baby that might be up at night. Or an introvert’s dream-come-true. Part of things, but on your own when you want to be.

The basement is a cozy place to hang out and play a game or watch a movie. The stone walls and visible support beams provide a reminder of the history and legacy of the home.

Your whole group can hang out together in the large kitchen, stocked with dishes and cooking supplies and a keurig. Appliances include double ovens, microwave, warming drawer, gas stove with pot filler, and beverage refrigerator. Cook a big meal or go out. You’ve got options.

Laundry detergent and shampoo/conditioner are available. Wi-Fi and Nest thermostats are provided in both units.

The lake is visible from the den and a couple of bedrooms as well as the long front porch where you can enjoy your morning coffee or a book while sitting on a rocking chair or the porch swing.

I grew up in the area and I'm excited to help you plan your stay and enjoy a wonderful time away with your people. The lake path and the park and library are right across the street. Walk to Inspire Coffee or Starbucks, restaurants, shops of all kinds, the beach or the Riviera boat dock to catch a delightful boat tour. So many fun things to do! Skip the parking and walk. It’s all right there.

I’m excited for the opportunity to serve you and your group!

The host was very welcoming and accessible if we needed anything. The house was perfect! Walking distance was great! We really had a great weekend!

The house is amazing! Old home with lots of antique character and yet totally modern classy baths and kitchen! More drawers and cabinets in the kitchen than we could count. We hung out on the front porch and the TV room, ate great meals in the spacious dining room, and mostly just sipped and noshed in the giant kitchen! House is 2 blocks from beautiful Geneva Lake and 2 blocks from shops, bars, cafes and more. Located in a historic neighborhood so we had scenic walks past elegant homes every day. A great stay! Highly recommend Rachel's rental and Lake Geneva for a long weekend.

Really nice house for a family vacation (6 adults and 3 young children), and within walking distance to downtown and the lake. Highly recommended.
