Lakeside 5 Bedrooms Hot tub & Pier

HopeRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Absolutely worth the stay. The view of the water is beautiful and the place is spotless. I’ve recommended it to a few people already. I’ve never done that so fast with an Airbnb. The location is great close to all the shops of Lake Geneva. The hosts were beyond fantastic and responsive. Thank you. We’ll be back later in the summer

2BR Serene Riverfront • Spacious • Pool & Hot Tub

CarmenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We loved our getaway to the Dells. If you've ever been there, you know how busy it is. The condo was just blocks from the hustle and bustle but felt like a world away—peaceful and relaxing! It was spotless and very comfortable. The four teens we brought along loved 'their room'. We loved that the couch was big enough to accommodate us all!

Great people. We had a swift check-in and were welcomed by a beautiful space that provides absolute privacy. Could have been better if it was warm so you can enjoy the enormous space around the property. Can be suitable for retreats, intimate wedding venue.

Lake is just down the street with 2 small park areas with swings/play equipment for the kids. There are also 3 restaurants along the lake with one in walking distance.

We enjoyed our stay! The place was clean, charming, cozy and comfortable, and as described. Plus there were several welcome hospitality touches.

Home away from home, close to historic square

DanielRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I was in Monroe for a funeral and to spend time with my friends. Morgan's place gave me a peaceful, private environment, which is exactly what I needed for my stay. The house is well kept, clean, with plenty of light and comfortable. The roof over the parking area next to house provided cover from the rain when coming and going and was especially appreciated when packing and unpacking things from the car. The neighborhood was quiet and conveniently located to everything in town and roads to other areas. Morgan communicated well with me from the time of my reservation to when I contacted him on my departure. He was responsive, helpful and courteous. Staying at Morgan's place was a great experience and cost about the same as one room with a queen bed in a near by hotel, which couldn't provide the peace and privacy I enjoyed. If you're staying in the Monroe area, I highly recommend you book Morgan's place for your stay!

Gerri Romero LangeRating, 5 stars5 months ago
John and Sue were sooo sweet!! She made us a giant tub of delicious granola which our family devoured with our fruit and yogurt. He gave us a tour of the cabin and where to find things. We had our family's children for lunch and they LOVED the game room! The cabin is BEAUTIFULLY decorated and I loved the cabin theme throughout the entire house, including the bathroom. In addition to all of that, my family LOVED the peace of the cabin both inside and out.

Molly and Brian’s cabin was super cute and secluded, perfect for a little getaway from the city! Tons of lowkey hiking, architectural hotspots (some great Frank Lloyd-Wright history — including his original gravestone!) and weird tourist traps within driving distance. This area is great for casual birdwatching and the owners even provide binoculars to help! We had a great time and will definitely be back soon!
