Plenty of Space for 4 adults!
We enjoyed our stay on Lake Como. The space is great. Kitchen was well equipped and open concept. The beds were comfortable and it was spotless! We didn't use the backyard much, but it was well taken care of. We felt safe in the area and the house was well lit! The ONLY negative we have was that upon entering the house it smelled a tad musty. I am assuming maybe no one stayed at the house in a bit. We opened up some windows and took care of it. We would absolutely stay again!

Absolutely loved this property! The house was perfect for what we needed. It was exactly what was described. And the neighborhood was great! Great people and right off the lake. The views were beautiful on our morning walks. Would definitely stay again.

Relaxing and cozy cottage!!
We had a great stay! The interior was clean and well equipped. They even supplied some extras like coffee, toiletries and bug spray that not all Vrbo’s have. We slept 7 people very comfortably. You do need to go up a small winding staircase to access the upstairs which is hard for little ones or older folks. My teens loved it though. The front porch needed some attention. I had to wipe down the table, clear away some cob webs and sweep the deck so we could sit out there. The furniture was cute and comfortable on the though. We loved that we could walk to several restaurants.

Everything you need!!
When we walked in, the place was clean and inviting. The owner made an online guide app as well as provided a paper guide at the house. Everything you could need is supplied (um the coffee cart with all the coffee and tea necessities might have been my favorite) and expectations (such as trash takeout and what to do with dirty bedding) is outlined well. This property is kid and dog friendly. The fence is secure, the owner was prompt with responses. The kitchen has everything you could need. Beautiful and clean neighborhood and beaches. Lake is visable from the front porch. Everyone is friendly and says hello. We are just sad we only booked for 2 nights and not a whole week. If we go to the area again we will book here for sure!

Girls getaway
Nice home, well supplied, plenty of parking. Located close to a couple bars within walking distance. We loved Papa's the best. Short drive to Lake Geneva which is where we went. Molly was super responsive to any questions and needs. We had a party of 7 and it fit everyone well. The backyard, surprisingly, wasn't buggy. There were plenty of chairs, games, and a nice fire pit too! A couple things that would be helpful in the future.... - The stair case needs something to prevent people from hitting their heads when walking by. Maybe move the table? -The step to the backyard also needs something such as a light and orange tape to percent people from tripping over it. - The upstairs was hot initially. It took a most of the first night to cool it down. Maybe turn on the upstairs A/C before guests arrive.

Quick get away
Enjoyed the last minute availability to get away for the weekend. Property was more than enough for us (two adults and a dog) with a fenced in back yard and nice sized kitchen. It was a great time in the winter, can only imagine the experience during the summer. Thanks

Exactly what we were looking for
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this comfortable and well-appointed home. It had a great style and was perfectly located near pretty Lake Como. Walking distance some dining/drinking options and an easy drive from even more. The bed was comfy, the atmosphere was quiet. Exactly what we wanted! I look forward to returning, especially in a warmer months when we can make better use of the fenced yard. Thank you!

Spacious, clean & great location
We really enjoyed our mini vacay Thanksgiving trip here. The moment we walked in we knew we found a great rental. The communication with the host was great. She was very responsive to any questions we had. The house was immaculate and the rooms were all very spacious. Although there was only 3 of us, the house could easily accommodate two smaller families. We enjoyed the fenced in backyard with a fire pit. It’s surrounded in a quaint little neighborhood within a few hundred feet of Lake Como. We would love to stay here again in the summer time to enjoy more of the outdoor activities around town. Overall, this is a great home which deserves 10 out of 10 ⭐️!

Great location
Overall, a nice cottage and the property manager made this really easy in terms of checking in and checking out. The only areas for improvement here is around the beds and air flow. The mattresses in both of the bedrooms we used were very, very firm….to the point where it made sleeping comfortably difficult. A mattress topper would do wonders here. In addition, the front bedroom with the queen bed got very hot at night when the rest of the house was cool. Other than those issues, the property was great. We were able to get to Lake Geneva and Williams Bay within minutes and it is a short walk to the water from the house. The house was clean and definitely worked well for us this trip.

Nice home right off Lake Como
This house was great for our group of 4 adults and one baby. Right off Lake Como, it is a short drive to Lake Geneva, but away from the busy hustle and bustle. Nice neighborhood for walking with nearby playgrounds and a few bar/restaurants within walking distance. The house has a nice open kitchen, perfect for making meals and catching up with friends. My only negative comment was that the upstairs area (not the bedrooms) was vertical hot and there didn't appear to be air conditioning on the second floor

The property is extremely clean and conveniently located. Host very easy to communicate with. Had the best time for a lake getaway with friends. Yard games, fire pit (with a bundle of wood provided) coffee bar essentials and extra bathroom toiletries were all so appreciated!
