About this property

Private Beach & Pier on Lake Como, 5 mins to downtown LG - Walk to Mars Resort!

Built in 2008, this seven bedroom, four bath home is perfectly positioned on the south shores of Lake Como in Lake Geneva and provides breathtaking views of the lake, Geneva National Golf Course and the Ice Castles in the winter of 2022! It's a beautiful home with four floors of living space and provides ultimate lake living! For a virtual tour of this home, visit https://real.vision/w4110-west-end?o=u.

The first floor has two bedrooms with queen beds in each, a large kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, three ovens, a breakfast bar and a large dining room table that all together sits 17. We have a high chair available, too.

There's a living room, a sitting room and a full bath. There's also a large deck with a barbecue grill, that extends across the entire back of the house and wraps around the front.

The second floor offers a master bedroom with a bathroom and walk-in shower and access to the lakeside balcony. There are four other bedrooms on the second floor, two with twin beds in each, one with a queen bed and the other with bunk beds (with a full size on the bottom) and a twin bed with a pull out trundle bed. There's also a full bath with a large soaking tub and walk-in shower as well as a large laundry room with full size washer and dryer. There's a large balcony that extends across the back of the house and is accessible from two of the bedrooms. A pack and play is available, as well, for the little ones.

The third floor is a game room with is perfect for the kids. It's here you'll find a giant doll house, a lego table and a video game area.

The lower level features a large family room, a full bathroom with an additional washer and dryer and a wet bar. It's a walkout lower level that leads to a patio with a retractable awning so you can enjoy the afternoon sun without getting too hot and an expansive lawn perfect for yard games that leads to the beach and pier. There's a small fire pit in the yard as well as yard games including Corn Hole Toss and Bocce for your enjoyment as well as beach toys and rafts.

The private pier that will comfortably fit two boats and the private sandy beach has a gradual incline into the water. It's perfect for kids of all ages. Two kayaks are included with the rental. The pier is typically in the water from April-October, depending on the weather.

The lake is approximately 10 feet at it's deepest, so it's a perfect lake for boating, tubing, waterskiing, swimming, fishing and more. In fact, there are World Barefoot Waterski Champions that live and train on the lake!

For those lucky enough to stay for the fourth of July, you'll enjoy unobstructed views of the Geneva National fireworks display from the comfort of your own vacation home. During the winter of 2022, the Ice Castles will be built on the grounds of the Geneva National Golf Course and overlooking our house. These ice castles are over 40 feet tall with interactive elements including slides, fountains, look out towers, and with led lights that move to the music. Tickets can be found at the Ice Castles website. There will be four additional castles built inNorth America, including Utah, Colorado, New Hampshire and Canada.

The house is located just three miles west of Downtown Lake Geneva and all the shopping, entertainment, theaters and restaurants it has to offer. You'll also be two doors away from the famous Mars Resort Bar & Restaurant with a piano bar and outdoor seating on the lake. They serve great food in a fun and comfortable setting and have outdoor entertainment occasionally on summer afternoons by the lake, which can be enjoyed from this house! In the evenings, the restaurant is busy, but it's a quiet dining crowd. Also within walking distance is the restaurant at the French Country Inn, which was a famous hangout for gagsters int he 1930's. It's a fun atmosphere on the lake and great food too!

You'll also be able to walk to The Lodge Geneva National hotel and their spectacular outdoor Bar 55 on the Veranda. It's here you'll find a giant fire pit, a tiki-style bar and even a pool where you can purchase day passes. The Ridge also offers live entertainment on select days throughout the month. It's great to be on the lake, have access to three restaurants on foot and yet be only 3 miles away from downtown Lake Geneva!

The local resorts have year round activities to keep our visitors busy all year. Winter is a great time to visit, as we are located near two ski hills, with ice fishing on the lake, great cross country skiing, ice skating and sledding nearby. Autumn is a beautiful time, as well, with gorgeous foliage throughout the area including breathtaking views across the lake. There are also orchards for apple picking and many fall and Halloween events to enjoy. Spring, too, is a great time. With the ice gone, Lake Como and Geneva come back to life! There is a strawberry and blueberry farm for picking up the street and plenty of other fun seasonal things to do and see.

For larger groups, we have a second vacation rental property located next door to the east, which sleeps 12 and is one of the most popular vacation rentals in town.

We look forward to having you stay with us and can provide plenty of ideas on ways to make the most of your time here in Lake Geneva. For a virtual tour of the property, visit: https://real.vision/w4110-west-end.

This property was perfect for our group, including 6 children under the age of 9. There was plenty of open space and enough bedrooms to fit everyone more than comfortably. The kids spent a lot of time playing in the third floor playroom and downstairs with the shuffleboard table. The hosts, Ali and Wendy, responded very quickly to all of our dumb questions. lol. We’re planning on staying again next year. I don’t think there’s a better place!

Wonderful family retreat

Stayed at the lakehouse with my adult children and grandchildren. Space was fantastic. Kids loved the beach and even rented a boat for the stay. Several trips and live music at Mars 2 doors down. Lots of well maintained space to spread out, have meals and relax. Loved the bar downstairs.

A great family getaway

My family really enjoyed our stay at the Lake House. It was very big, beautiful and clean. I have stayed at several vacation homes and this was the best appointed house I have ever stayed in. We didn’t need to bring anything but our food and drinks. Lots of games to play, plenty of TP and towels. The rooms were all spacious. There were 10 of us, all women, and plenty of space to be together and room enough to be alone if you wished.

Great views, stay at Lake Como

We thoroughly enjoyed our family time together over the holidays. The house is beautiful and roomy with everything needed to prepare meals and enjoy the views. Even though the weather was cloudy and gray outside, the inside was warm and beautiful with family and a Christmas tree! The host was wonderful and very responsive to our pre-stay questions and we were happy we had no problems to address while there!

Great House!

House was just perfect for our large extended family group (10 adults, 6 kids). Our only complaint was the beds were a little lumpy. Kitchen was fully stocked with all the hardware you could need. Plenty of towels and super soft. Large dinning room table was fabulous for a weekend of cards and board games. Would defiantly stay again and highly recommend to others.

Shoreline Delight

Fabulous home. Topped only by responsive and charming hosts. Stayed as nine adults and four toddlers 2 and younger. Great space and outdoor fire pit found happy campers staying warm on a cool spring evening. One of the best homes for large groups as the owners provided plenty of dinnerware, coffee mugs, glasses, and utensils. Even sharp cooking knives. Thanks to Ali and Steve, once again. Hope to see you again!

By far the best ever!

This is our 3rd stay at this beautiful home with two years canceled due to Covid. We have never had a problem, the management is the best, a maintenance issue was fixed within an hour. There has never been dishes, glasses, or any kitchen utensil (or anything) needed that wasn’t available. I had a couple of special requests that they were very willingly accommodated. I cannot say enough about this home..

This home comes equipped with everything our big family desires.

This was our second year staying at this beautiful home. We vacationed with our 3 daughters and their families. I love that this home has 4 adult bedrooms, so many stick extra beds into rooms with queen sized beds. Then there are just enough other rooms for our big family...everyone has a bed! This is hard to find. We were discouraged by the seaweed in the lake at the beach. My husband and I raked a couple of mornings. The first morning the dock was full of goose droppings which my husband had to shovel before the grandkids got up. These items are not the fault of the owners; however, we have concerns with the railing on the balcony. It was decaying in a spot last year, and this year it had not been fixed and we felt was not safe.

Wonderful Lake House

We had a fantastic stay on Lake Como! There were 16 of us and plenty of space/sleeping arrangements to choose from. The house was supplied with everything we could possibly need, including an ample supply of garbage bags, detergents, kitchen utensils/plates, etc. The location was great. Lake Como was more calm than Lake Geneva and we dropped in our boat for the week with no issues. The Mars resort had a great fish fry on Weds & Fri which we could walk to. The property was well-maintained and included many outdoor items such as beach toys & floats. The host was friendly & had good communication when messaged. We would definitely stay here again!
