About this property
Captain Cook: Walk to Lake, Hot Tub, Sleeps 9
Welcome to Captain Cook, a beautifully restored historic home on a prime corner lot in Downtown Lake Geneva, WI. Built in the 1800s, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom retreat combines timeless charm with modern amenities—including a private hot tub—making it the perfect getaway for families, friends, or remote workers seeking comfort and convenience.
Just a 6-minute walk to Main Street, you'll be steps away from Lake Geneva’s best coffee shops, restaurants, bars, and boutiques. It's also ideal for wedding parties, located only 4 minutes from Horticultural Hall. The Lake Geneva Public Beach is a short 7-minute stroll, where you can enjoy the sandy shoreline, explore the iconic Shore Path, or embark on a boating adventure. With year-round attractions like golf, skiing at The Grand Geneva (3 miles away), and indoor fun at Timber Ridge Waterpark (2.5 miles), there’s something for everyone.
Inside, you’ll find a welcoming space with tasteful updates. Upstairs features four cozy bedrooms: three with king beds and one with a queen bed and a twin bed—perfect for flexible sleeping arrangements. Each level has a full bathroom for added convenience. The main floor boasts an open-concept living and dining area with plush seating and a smart TV—ideal for unwinding after a day of adventure. The updated kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and all the essentials to cook and gather.
Sleeping Arrangements (Sleeps 9):
Bedroom 1: King Bed
Bedroom 2: King Bed
Bedroom 3: King Bed
Bedroom 4: Queen Bed + Twin Bed
Fall Bathroom Upstairs with Tub/Shower Combo
Full Bathroom on Main Level with Walk-in Shower
Start your day with breakfast in the kitchen and end it grilling on the barbecue, lounging on the expansive wraparound deck, or soaking in the private outdoor hot tub. The large fenced-in yard is perfect for kids to run and play, and the back patio offers a fire pit with string lights and cozy seating—perfect for evening conversations and stargazing.
Thoughtfully stocked for your stay, the home includes free WiFi, five smart TVs (no cable), a Pack-n-Play, stroller, high chair, yard games, fire pit, hot tub, and four driveway parking spots.
Ideal for family vacations, work-from-anywhere retreats, wedding groups, or holiday getaways, Captain Cook delivers an unforgettable stay in a location you’ll love.
Please note: For security purposes, exterior security cameras are present on the property. No parties are allowed. Max occupancy is 9 guests. Primary renter must be 25 or older. After booking, guests will be asked to sign an electronic rental agreement.
The hot tub is available year-round, however during extreme cold or sustained below-freezing temperatures (common in Wisconsin winters), the hot tub may not heat to full temperature or may be unusable. This is due to equipment limitations in extreme weather and is unfortunately outside of our control.

About the host
Hosted by Elite Lake Rentals
Elite Lake Rentals is locally owned by Susan Smolarek and her son Jason. Susan has lived in Wisconsin her whole life and has called Walworth County, WI home for 15+ years. Susan has extensive experience working at local Lake Geneva area resorts bringing corporate groups to the area for business meetings. When the pandemic eliminated her role in group sales at the local CVB, she decided to open Elite Lake Rentals managing vacation rental homes to continue to bring people to the area and experience everything Walworth County has to offer.
Jason was born and raised in Wisconsin, graduated from UW-Stout in 2008 with a B.S. in Hotel, Restaurant, and Tourism Management. After moving about the US working at many resorts in management roles, Jason now resides in Tampa, FL and and has spent the last 8 years dedicated to vacation rental management. Jason has experience managing hundreds of vacation rental properties in the Florida Panhandle and wanted to bring that experience to Wisconsin. Partnering with his Mom, they opened Elite Lake Rentals in late 2021 and now manage the finest collection of homes on or near the lakes in Southeast Wisconsin.
