Cozy Delavan Lake Cottage - Walk to Beach/Boat Launch. 8 Minutes to Lake Geneva!


ACROSS THE STREET FROM DELAVAN LAKE...

A vintage dairy farm on 4 wooded acres has been transformed into a peaceful Wisconsin retreat. Mornings on Three Lakes Farm are spent sipping coffee & watching the sky turn from red to blue as it rises over the Eastern Prairie. Take a quick walk west for a day of swimming & boating. Or golf the championship courses at Geneva National 5 minutes away. Later, explore nearby Lake Geneva. Or mosey over to Pearce’s Farm Stand for fresh grilling fare. At sunset, stroll down the quiet lake street to The Village Supper Club. Then, relax around the gas fire pit before heading off to bed.

ABOUT PIP'S COTTAGE
Accommodates 5 guest MAXIMUM

"My wife and I stayed here the two nights before our wedding day. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The cottage is beautiful, and was an amazing sleep. I would move in if I could! We loved it, and it was a great start to our marriage."
~ Benj R (VRBO Review 9/12/2023)

BELIEVE IT OR NOT... this open, airy space was once a milking house for cows! Thankfully, the beasts were banished long ago. Today, Pip's Cottage is a tasteful blend of contemporary, vintage aesthetics, modern conveniences & thoughtful details.

THE COTTAGE IS EQUIPPED FOR OPTIMAL USE & COMFORT. A washing machine & drier is available for 2 week stays or more. For full amenity enlightenment, read our listing carefully (click all the links & photos too). For the meaning of life or other mysteries, message us ;)

THE OPEN LAYOUT FEELS QUITE SPACIOUS, but the bedrooms are close together. People requiring distance from their companions come bedtime, may want to keep this in mind. While all our guests love their time in Pip's Cottage, 2 adults or families with young children report the coziest stays.

5 GUEST MAXIMUM. Per neighborhood rules.

NO PARTIES & 10pm QUIET TIME.
The fish (and our neighbors) need their beauty sleep.

SORRY, NO PETS (Though we love looking at photos of your pets doing cute stuff!)

NO SMOKING

Amazing. Will be back

Our stay was fantastic! The space was exceptionally clean, cozy, and peaceful. Donna and Bryan were incredible hosts, warm, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating, making our visit truly memorable for me and my son. The location was perfect, offering a secluded, relaxing atmosphere while still being just minutes away from shopping and exploring. Highly recommend!

Pip's Cottage Practically Perfect in Everyway

The cottage is perfect for a family getaway. The cottage was more than just a place to sleep it was someplace you would want to spend time at. All the amenities were perfectly thought out right down to the chip clips and if you order pizza out don't worry there's crushed red pepper and Parmesan in the drawer just in case. From the fresh herbs in the garden (that you can use by the way) to the perfectly folded towels you are not going to find a better place to stay at in the area. In fact if you stay anywhere else in the area you're a fool....kidding not kidding. We will definitely return bags in hand ready for another wonderful weekend. Thank you again for making our memorial day weekend so memorable &#x1f90d;

We stayed here with my sister and brother-in-law for a nearby wedding and everything was wonderful. The farmhouse is decorated immaculately, and Donna was a more-than-gracious host. We were greeted with some Wisconsin treats in the fridge and Donna told us we could use fruits and veggies from her garden if we wanted to. We can't wait to come back with my nieces and enjoy the beautiful farmhouse again!

We came to the area for a long weekend to see music at Alpine Valley. Donna and Brian’s place was the perfect respite! We got ti explore the area some by day and take a scenic, easy drive up to the venue each evening for live music. Donna made fantastic recommendations for nearby activities and food, and stayed in touch with us throughout our stay to ensure all of our needs were met. We had very enjoyable conversations with both Donna and Brian and would absolutely come back for another stay.

Charming Farmstead

Charming farmstead stay right next to Lake Delavan. Pip's Cottage is quaint and perfect for a quick (or long) getaway. Plenty of space to spread out, or head to the lake for some fun. Both the boat launch and Village Inn Supper Club are within walking distance. Downtown Delavan is charming and worth the short drive to explore. Plenty of dining options. Donna and Bryan were gracious hosts and really nice people. Get to know them! In all the years we have been booking VRBOs, best hosts ever! We will be back.

Everything about this stay was great! Communication from Donna was perfect and informative. The property was very nice and clean….such a perfect place for a couple to stay. The property was so unique and fitting for the space. The property is secluded and away from the hustle & bustle of Lake Geneva, but a close enough drive where it isn’t a hassle. Donna is so thoughtful and left a very nice gift/welcome package for my girlfriend & my anniversary. Would not hesitate to book again if I’m in the area. I cannot recommend staying here enough.

About the host

Hosted by Donna & Bryan

Host profile image
They say you can never go home again, but that’s exactly what we did. After stumbling upon this unique farm property, hidden behind giant oak trees, across the street from Delavan Lake, we packed up our city life & returned to the serene, laidback lifestyle of our childhood. A lifestyle we're happy to share with you on Three Lakes Farm at Delavan Lake.

Why they chose this property

Our close proximity to all 3 lakes - Delavan (across the street), Como (6 mins) & Geneva (8 mins) - is how 3 Lakes Farm earned its name.

Easy access to County F, Townhall Rd & County H, make avoiding summer traffic a breeze. And all of the areas best things to do, see & eat are a quick walk or drive away; including: Community Beach, Boat Wrangler's, The Village Supper Club, Lake Lawn Lodge, Geneva National Golf Course, Belfry Music Theater, Riga-Tony’s authentic Chicago deli, Pearce's Farm Stand, Mars Supper Club & more. This gives Three Lakes Farm an advantage over properties located further down S. Shore Drive & the North side of the lake.

Best of all, our 4 spacious acres allows for privacy, room to run & play, ample parking & wildlife sitings. Locals often tell us what a beautiful property we have & they can’t believe they’ve never noticed it before. It's a true hidden gem. We feel confident you’ll agree.

What makes this property unique

3 Lakes Farm is the last remnant of a 10 acre dairy farm located across the street from Delavan Lake. The farm stayed in the original family for years before being sold off bit by bit. Today, only 4 acres remain of what used to be a fully operational dairy farm surrounded by dense woods & a handful of tiny, summer cottages.

Built in 1910, the house & barn are a classic example of the Gambrel style architecture commonly found in areas of the country populated by people from the Netherlands & Germany. Before being converted into an adorable, cedar trimmed tiny home in the 1950s, the cottage functioned as a milking house for the cows.

After extensive updates in 2023, we named the cottage after our 4 lb. Yorkie who loved living there for a bit while we converted the barn into our main living space. During the fall & winter months, Pip spent her days looking out the bedroom window at the lake. She recommends you do the same during your stay.
