This is our second time staying at this house for GaryCon. We loved it the first time, and decided to rent it again. During our stay this time, there was a problem with the kitchen table and the front screen door. We notified Zan, and he had it take care of the following morning! They were very responsive to our needs! We plan to rent again if it is available for the next GaryCon in 2026!

I absolutely love the location of this property. Steve's place is perfectly secluded for quiet mornings & peaceful evenings. I hope to return in the winter to take in the beautiful snowfall. I also appreciate the fact that it's not far from a small cozy town with a walking path along the lake. Thank you for sharing your wonderful property & I look forward to returning!

Huge! Sleeps 12, Perfect getaway for a large group

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 79 reviews3 months ago

Beautiful home with ample space for our group of 10! It was our first Christmas without my mother and we decided as a family to spend our holiday somewhere new. The owner of the house made sure we had everything we needed and went over and beyond to make the house look festive! Despite it being winter, there were a lot of things to do. We made use of the beautiful game room, played cards, board games, shot pool and had our daily movie night in one of the two large family rooms. We had such a great experience despite my family’s loss that we are thinking of returning next year!

Stayed here for 2 weeks while we were visiting family and it couldn’t have been better. Home was lovely, well suited for what we needed and definitely kept the kids occupied with the toys and games that are available. Views were beautiful which is always a plus, would definitely book again for when we are back over. Couldn’t have hoped for a nicer place or hosts.

We spent Thanksgiving here with our family - 6 adults and 1 toddler. The kitchen has plenty of counter space so that we could all have stations for prepping our favorite Thanksgiving sides. There are bedrooms on three levels so we had plenty of space for separation. There are two living rooms, one on the main floor and one in the basement level (that does not feel like a basement) and a sitting area on the top floor. We spent most of our time on the main floor. Very comfortable! Great place!

Williams Bay Hilltop Home

5 out of 5 average rating, 15 reviews3 months ago

Great house for a winter getaway with friends - place was cozy, comfortable with a breezy vibe. We loved spending time in the living area, the sofa and arm chairs are very comfy. Kitchen was well furnished, bedrooms comfortable. We had a bone fire - place is well set up for that as well. We would visit again (in any season).
