Amazing Stay in Lake Geneva

Our family of 5 absolutely loved staying in Lake Geneva at this VRBO. The house was beyond family friendly - all of the furniture was comfortable, there were rugs and carpets in key areas, children amenities and tons of toys and games for both children and adults. Perfect location, walking distance to Lake, shops, and playground. Solid communication from the owners. We would certainly return again the future.

Lake Geneva Home

We had a wonderful stay and a wonderful Christmas! This was a perfect get away. We all loved the location just a few short blocks away from the heart of downtown Lake Geneva. The host had the home decorated for the holidays which made it very festive. We appreciated the hosts quick response to any questions that we had. The home was newly renovated with lots of room for our whole family. We would definitely go back. We rated it 5 stars in every category!!

Perfect getaway

It was our annual girls trip & we couldn’t have picked a better home. It was designed beautifully…so warm & cozy & immediately felt like home! As we enter the house, the owners had left us a very nice, thank you along with a cinnamon strudel, what a wonderful touch. The location was absolutely ideal, walkable to downtown and many shops and restaurants. Most of the time we stayed at the house, just playing games, laughing and eating. We would definitely go back and I would highly recommend to anyone staying in Lake Geneva.

Spacious home in great location

We booked this property for a family gathering and it didn’t disappoint! The kitchen is gorgeous, plenty of space, and the bedrooms are all large. The family especially enjoyed bbq night dining on the porch, playing bags and finishing the night making s’mores at the fire pit. An easy five minute walk to the beach makes this a perfect location. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Perfect girls get away

There were 6 of us who stayed here to celebrate all of us turning 40 this year. We couldn’t have asked for a better time. The house was beautiful and spacious and had everything you could ask for in a rental house - PLUS it was just so adorable! Beautiful kitchen and awesome living room area to spread out and relax/enjoy and laugh! The bedrooms were so nice with comfortable beds. I literally don’t have one complaint besides the fact we can’t all go more often!

Great In Town Location

This property was immaculate, well appointed and nearly IN TOWN! We like to visit Lake Geneva every October and were thrilled to be reunited with this lovely town after some pandemic missed chances. We would definitely stay here again, I think Elite Lake Rentals is a quality organization.
