Excellent location of house and we had lots of fun in GOTL at the shops, bars and restaurants. False advertising however with stating that the basement sleeps 10. There is no egress and therefore presents a safety issue. Also, our stove/oven did not work upon arrival and throughout our visit so we were not not able to cook most of the food that we brought with us for the weekend.

Disliked: Check-in
The view was fantastic and the beds were very comfortable. The firepit at night was a bonus. We could have used more dish towels and had no dish rags. More towel racks are needed & stove not working properly. The major complaint was the early check in. We arrived three hours early so I called to see if we were able to get in. I may have misunderstood but I thought I was told that it would be an additional 25. I found when checking my credit card account that it was actually 25 an hour. We had heavy rain the one night which flooded a section of the basement. I called to report the incident but that was as far as it went. Nobody came to mop up so we did it ourselves. In addition the instructions upon leaving were we could just leave but it would be nice to help out the cleaners. We did what we always do when leaving a VRBO stay. - we stripped the beds, put all used towels on the bathroom floors and swept the inside and the outside porch. This is where I have a problem. I called when I found out we were charged 75 for early check in instead of what I thought would be 25. I was told on Aug. 22 that the agent would check with the owner about a possible refund and was told that they would get back to me as soon as they had an update - today is Sept. 2 and still no reply. I thought a refund was a no brainer since we went above and beyond what was expected of a renter - especially since we cleaned up the section of the basement which was flooded. Live and learn.

Incredible stay, great for small-large groups

We stayed for two nights to celebrate NYE and it was an incredible time. We had a two more couples on the second night than the first and we found the space perfect for all our needs. The kitchen is incredibly stocked, I was able to cook for 10-12 with ease. The host is communicative and I could sense his passion regarding the property. We were happy to enjoy the space ourselves for the weekend. Parking was our only concern and we were able to fit everyone without issue. I highly recommend this lake house to anyone who may ask!

Lovely home right on the lake

This is a beautiful, modern home with many conveniences. The three upstairs bedrooms each have an ensuite bathroom. An additional bedroom and bunk-bed room downstairs share a bathroom. The house is decorated in a way that is quirky and fun. The kitchen is extremely well supplied with pots and pans, dishes, cutlery, and appliances, as well as a huge fridge and freezer. There is ample seating outside to enjoy the lake breezes and beautiful sunsets. The owner is very responsive and really cares about his guests. The surrounding area has wineries, kayaking, biking, mini golf, and "the strip" at Geneva-on-the-Lake - something for everyone.

Bachelorette Party

We (14 girls) stayed for two nights while visiting Geneva-on-the-Lake and had an amazing time! John made the check-in policy so easy and provided great recommendations. The house was right on the lake with amazing views. The basement was a great space to hangout and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you'd need. The neighborhood was quiet, but not near the strip or wineries -- so a driver or ride is required. The ride is short though - so not a big deal! Would definitely recommend staying here.

Great location on the lake. Plenty of kitchen space and seating for our party of ten girls who enjoyed sitting in there for meals and playing games. Bedding and bathrooms on main level good setup. Basement with musty smell making bad for additional sleeping situation.

Wonderful

This place was so beautiful! The kitchen was a pretty good size and where we hung out the most. Each bedroom was spacious also. I loved this house so much. Not too far from the restaurants/bars, but in a nice quiet area. John was so great and helpful! He recommended a few spots to check out and things to do while there. Would definitely stay there again!

Girls 55th birthday!

There were 10 of us that stayed. Finding the house was easy. The house is adorable, it fit everyone perfectly. There are 10 lounge chairs on the break wall with room to bring your own chairs down there. Getting down to the lake is Steep but if you just take your time you will get down there. we were all in flip-flops and really didn’t have much of a problem. Getting from the brick wall down to the lake, all the way to the left there are a few large rocks that makes it easy to get down there. The host Sean is a really nice person he called before we even left to tell us what is around there and places to go. And if you try to reach him he’s very quick at responding back to you and helping with whatever you need. We had an absolutely great time everything was amazing!

PERFECTION!

Amazing property! Gracious host! My family of 14 stayed 4 nights and we could not be happier. Many a fine meal was prepared in the best appointed kitchen we've ever had the pleasure of using. Lake views were breathtaking! Played endless games on the provided cornhole boards, looked for seaglass daily, and sat in the yard on provided furniture talking and laughing with fabulous sunsets and the sound of waves lapping as our backdrop. Place was very clean with plenty of amenities and a ton of room to spread out. Basement is absolutely perfect for late night raucous party games (dont have to worry about disturbing the neighbors) and the whole gang fit very comfortably. Loved the "libations" honor system table and some of the decor pieces are just STUNNING works! Host was very laid back, easy going, and quick to respond. Our stay was absolutely perfect and we would definitely book again!! Don't hesitate to snatch this place up.
