THE DOWNTOWNER....Largest House on Main St. 14 Beds, Sleeps 20

Located on Main Street in downtown Lake Geneva, this former bland office building has undergone a ground up restoration that will sleep 20 with 9 bedrooms (one in the Sunroom) and 7-1/2 bathrooms. Architecturally edgy, contemporary and laugh-out-loud design throughout. Great shared gathering spaces will make the most of your time with friends and family. The interior showcases a mix of industrial design, comfortable furnishings and flea market finds. The large open concept dining area has 16 ft. of dining space, making it easy for a large group to mingle and entertain. The spacious, fully stocked kitchen has 2 refrigerators to accommodate your groceries easily. Sit in comfort on 3 deep leather sofas around the 65 inch HD Flat screen smart TV. Each bedroom has a signature style of it's own, offering the highest level of comfort and privacy. Top of the line mattresses, pillows and luxurious linens throughout. When you are ready to escape the group, each bedroom has a large HD flat screen TV. Six of the nine bedrooms feature ensuite bathrooms (the remaining three bedrooms share a bath). Each bathrooms features a rain shower head and one of a kind furnishings. Hair dryers, shampoo and body wash are provided in each.
Enjoy the great outdoors on the two large decks overlooking a wetland preserve and park or party in the private courtyard.
Leave all your worries about driving and parking behind when you stay at The Downtowner. Your favorite restaurants, shopping and everything that magical Lake Geneva has to offer is a short walk away. Disclaimer- Being centrally located to the downtown means that you will hear some traffic noise. There is also a bar/restaurant next door with an outdoor courtyard. If you are looking for total peace and quiet, this may not be the right fit for you. White noise machines provided for your sleeping comfort.

Met Our Needs and Beyond
Great location for "opportunity fun"; however, the one location challenge was the close proximity to the bar next door. Although the noise level was loud, they had great food! Parking availability at the site was limited, but a close free parking lot answered that need. We didn't really use the outside decks and patio due to the cold weather, but it's pretty awesome. Appreciated the communication with our contact for the property.

This property is always well maintained and the property manager available. We have rented here numerous times because the space offers ensuites to most bedrooms. It is great for entertaining. The large outdoor space is nice for a cookout and it has a nice view and lots of seating. Location is Ideal if you want to go into town as you can walk to everything. We had seven couples and it never felt crowded. Its a great getaway.

AC broken majority of the weekend with resolution
The location and overall property were awesome. Loved having many outdoor spaces and so many bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate our large group. The problem was that the AC didn’t work for a good portion of our stay. The owner sent an HVAC out but this didn’t resolve the problem. I spent most of one of our days interacting with the host instead of enjoying my weekend away. Her responses were very short and she seemed irritated every time I reached out. Hopefully the AC will get fixed as otherwise we had a nice stay.

Great location!
We stayed here over our wedding weekend with most of our bridal party and it was perfect! The location was amazing and a 5 minute-ish walk to everything we wanted to do. Tisha was an excellent host and checked in with us to make sure our stay was going well. This is the perfect property if you have a large group as there are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and the main hangout space has plenty of seating. We will be back!

Bachelorette Party Perfection
The Downtowner couldn't have been more perfect for our group. We loved the outdoor area and the ease of getting around downtown LG. Everyone was pleased with the house and would come back again. Having a bathroom in almost all bedrooms was a major perk and we appreciated there being 2 refrigerators as well.

Great for a big group
We stayed here with multiple families for a ski weekend. Kids from 1-10 years old. The house was great location to downtown, Starbucks. The host is great at reaching out and answering questions, checked via text to see if we needed anything. Each room has a bathroom in it, or right next to it. Large fully equipped kitchen, 2 refrigerators, very open for large group to hang out. We fit 4 families comfortably, 5 might have felt like too much even though plenty of beds. Overall was a great find for our large group!
