We had an incredible stay at the Downtowner! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the unique design and attention to detail. The space was not only stylish and modern, but also warm, welcoming, and incredibly comfortable.The location was unbeatable — close to the lake, shops, and restaurants. Whether we were exploring the area or relaxing at the house, we felt like we had the best of both worlds. The top balcony was perfect for enjoying morning coffee while overlooking the park and canal.With a full house, we were grateful to have 2 refrigerators in the kitchen. Most of the bedrooms have their own bathroom for added privacy and convenience.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-quality VRBO experience!

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.

The house was amazing, loved the fact that we could walk anywhere. The parking was not ideal but the free parking across the street was great. Perfect house for a large group, plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Tricia was a great host and we will definitely be renting again.

About the host

Hi, my name is Tisha. For those of you looking at other properties to rent in Lake Geneva, you may have seen my face before. I also own House in the Woods (#1789245), a 12 bedroom/9 bathroom home on 5 acres just west of downtown LG.
I got in to the vacation rental business in 2015 and really love it! Lake Geneva is such a strong draw for people looking for a beautiful place to spend time and I feel really lucky to have two great properties to offer.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

Not to repeat myself, but it's the location!!! Once you park, you can walk to all that Lake Geneva has to offer.
