Great Home for Families with Kids
by CarmenBeautiful, comfortable and very spacious home within walking distance of downtown and beach. We loved the large fenced in yard (young kids). Loved utilizing the fire pit too. Host provided lots of toys and games that kept everyone busy and entertained. Easy check-in/out. Everything was clean and we felt right at home in the cozy place. The area was perfect and we will 100% recommend this home and host to others looking to stay in Lake Geneva!
Gorgeous, Spacious, and Chic
by MarissaWe loved our stay with Elite! The home was gorgeous, spacious and chic - perfect for our girls trip. We especially loved the outdoor porch area and the quiet and cozy neighborhood. The hosts went above and beyond with detailed touches like a welcome gift, toiletries, stocked kitchen supplies and so much more. Look forward to our next stay!
Walking Distance to Everything!
by AndreaCaptain Cook is the perfect spot to enjoy all that Lake Geneva has to offer! Walking distance to beach, shops, restaurants, and bars yet removed from traffic and crowds. The wrap around porch with ample seating allowed us to enjoy time with family in the outdoor setting. The kitchen was the perfect for morning coffee at the island and cooking up meals. There’s a dining table for six and plenty of comfortable seating in the large living room for playing games or watching TV. The upstairs had 4 nice size bedrooms with very comfortable beds. Small touches such as local coffee samples and an apple cinnamon kringle for our first morning was a kind gesture by the manager. Checkin process was very smooth and the manager was super responsive to our questions prior to arrival. Thanks for allowing us a home away from home to reconnect with our family, we would love to return again!
Amazing Stay in Lake Geneva
by PaulOur family of 5 absolutely loved staying in Lake Geneva at this vacation rental. The house was beyond family friendly - all of the furniture was comfortable, there were rugs and carpets in key areas, children amenities and tons of toys and games for both children and adults. Perfect location, walking distance to Lake, shops, and playground. Solid communication from the manager. We would certainly return again the future.
Perfect Stay at Immaculate Lake Geneva Home – Ideal for Family Celebrations!
by KathleenOur family stayed here for our daughter’s wedding at Horticultural Hall in Lake Geneva. We have stayed in many airbnbs. This house clearly ranks at the top: immaculate, well appointed, kitchen is well equipped, lots of light, roomy, and comfortable. Location is perfect: in a quiet neighborhood, but within easy walking distance to cafes, restaurants, shops, and the lake. Hosts were very responsive. We were sad to leave our stay was so nice.
65th Birthday Celebration
by DebraWonderful stay at a beautiful property. Family friendly, great communication. Apple Kringle made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Would definitely stay there again

New Years Getaway
by Tracy Y.Very clean updated home! The kitchen was well stocked and the little touches of the Danish and coffee were so nice! Perfect location to town, if weather was better definitely would have walked! Bedrooms were great! Thanks for a wonderful stay!
Lake Geneva Home
by Ann W.We had a wonderful stay and a wonderful Christmas! This was a perfect get away. We all loved the location just a few short blocks away from the heart of downtown Lake Geneva. The host had the home decorated for the holidays which made it very festive. We appreciated the hosts quick response to any questions that we had. The home was newly renovated with lots of room for our whole family. We would definitely go back. We rated it 5 stars in every category!!
A Wonderful Place!
by Mike W.This is a wonderful place!! Extremely spacious, unbeatable location 2 blocks from downtown and water. Would highly recommend!!!!
Perfect Getaway
by Leanne B.It was our annual girls trip & we couldn’t have picked a better home. It was designed beautifully…so warm & cozy & immediately felt like home! As we enter the house, the Elite team left us a very nice thank you along with a cinnamon strudel, what a wonderful touch. The location was absolutely ideal, walkable to downtown and many shops and restaurants. Most of the time we stayed at the house, just playing games, laughing and eating. We would definitely go back and I would highly recommend to anyone staying in Lake Geneva.
We Love Captain Cook!
by TeriWe loved staying at Captain Cook! It is a beautiful home, walking distance to downtown, restaurants, and the lake. Plenty to do and lots of room for 5 adults and 3 kids! Thank you!
Spacious Home in Great Location
by Julie V.We booked this property for a family gathering and it didn’t disappoint! The kitchen is gorgeous, plenty of space, and the bedrooms are all large. The family especially enjoyed bbq night dining on the porch, playing bags and finishing the night making s’mores at the fire pit. An easy five minute walk to the beach makes this a perfect location. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Lake Geneva
by Sara S.Captain Cook is in the perfect neighborhood that’s centrally located close to town. The house is adorable and well equipped. Highly recommend!
Live Love Lake!!
by Brian C.The house was perfect for our family; everything we possibly could have needed was provided and more, the house was beautiful and in a super accessible location. We enjoyed our stay and could not have been happier with the accommodations! Thanks for making our stay so lovely!!
Perfect Girls Getaway
by Adrienne G.There were 6 of us who stayed here to celebrate all of us turning 40 this year. We couldn’t have asked for a better time. The house was beautiful and spacious and had everything you could ask for in a rental house - PLUS it was just so adorable! Beautiful kitchen and awesome living room area to spread out and relax/enjoy and laugh! The bedrooms were so nice with comfortable beds. I literally don’t have one complaint besides the fact we can’t all go more often!
Great In Town Location
by Lynn B.This property was immaculate, well appointed and nearly IN TOWN! We like to visit Lake Geneva every October and were thrilled to be reunited with this lovely town after some pandemic missed chances. We would definitely stay here again, I think Elite Lake Rentals is a quality organization.
Great Hosts!
by JordanGreat hosts! Highly recommend this house.
Great House/Great Location
by Tony S.Stayed here with a group of 4 for a golf trip. Everyone had a great bedroom to themselves; house was perfect. Walking distance to downtown Lake Geneva, so perfect location, too.
Perfect Location
by Mark O.The property was very clean and had an amazing open concept. There were plenty of comfortable bedrooms on the 2nd floor and a yard and porch that wrapped around the entire house. My nephews really enjoyed the yard and the fire pit at night. Our favorite aspect of the house was that it was in a very quiet part of the neighborhood yet still only 2 blocks away from the bustling downtown area that nestled right up to the shore. We barely had to drive anywhere in order to shop, dine or have a day at the beach. I would love to stay at this property again in the future.
Loved the Property!
by ToddWe loved this property for our guys weekend and highly recommend it to anyone looking to visit and enjoy all that Lake Geneva has to offer!
