2 Bedroom river front condo, balcony open view
The apartment is spacious, bright, and looks right onto the Rock River. I would love to return in the summer and be able to enjoy the deck which overlooks the water. The location is convenient to many local attractions. It would be a good place for an extended stay with a well-equipped kitchen, washer and dryer. Nice modern kitchen and bathroom. Saul was a great host and replied quickly to messages.

3BR lakefront dog-friendly with kayaks/water toys
Our stay was wonderful! The host was very friendly and communicated with us well!! The view of the lake from the house was absolutely stunning! We thoroughly enjoyed the outside seating and fire pit!! The house had everything we needed! It was as close to feeling like being at home as I think it could have felt! Such a beautiful home! We hope it’s available for our next trip to the area!!

Riverview 1br upper private unit
Great place to stay that’s quiet and comfortable. Right along the Keshwaukee River. Very peaceful. Spacious unit, excellent washer and dryer right there in the unit. Bed was very comfortable. You’re in a rural setting but just a few minutes drive to stores and dining. Convenient to US 20 and I-90.

The Eastpoint Suite 3|Walk to lake|
Very comfortable room for a short stay and close to the lake and downtown. Highly recommended.

The Eastpoint Suites 4, 5 &6 |Walk to lake|

Great location. Looks just like the pictures. Very clean. Joel was a friendly host.

3BR dog-friendly lake stay with kayaks, water mats
Loved our stay, so many beds and a lot of kitchen utensils available for use. Private area, the fire pit in front of the lake was a favorite!

Modern Waterfront House Getaway on Fox River
Beautiful, peaceful location right on the Fox River. The home had everything you could need for a great weekend away. Appliances were top of the line, clean bedding and cupboards were labeled so it was easy to find dishes/cookware. Hosts were responsive and check-in/check-out was easy. Highly recommend!!

TheGlassCabin@HackmatackRetreat
Our Glass Cabin stay was absolutely perfect! It was beautiful and peaceful inside and out, a destination in itself. All communication was clear and questions were answered practically instantly. If you get an opportunity to stay here, you will consider yourself lucky when you leave!

Home on Fox River: Modern Decor Style!
Place was absolutely beautiful and clean beds were so clean comfortable. Kitchen was supplied with many amenities that you would need it was a very nice place the only thing we ran out of toilet paper there was only one in each bathroom and we couldn’t find

Beautiful Riverhaus Setting
Nothing short of amazing! Frank was an incredible host, very informative and friendly. Our family enjoyed everything about our stay and will stay again on or next trip to Illinois!

Welcome to the Fox River
Barbara was a great host! The house was the perfect getaway from the city. The bed was so comfortable and the outdoor space was so relaxing. We appreciated how Barbara went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay!

Fox River Home - Near Island Lake
We fell in love with the river front. I left wanting to have more time down at the lounge chairs. Enjoyed having a campfire! It was close to both of my sisters in Crystal Lake! My sister wants to buy the cabin! lol Thank you for a wonderful vacation!!

Water front ranch house
We enjoyed our stay at Antonio's lovely home. It had all the comforts of home and more. I would most certainly recommend this home to anyone looking for peace and relaxation while on vacation.

Secluded Luxury Retreat: 15 Acres, Views, Hot Tub
We were looking for an upscale, relaxing getaway close to Chicago - and we found it with this lovely property. Ross was an extremely communicative host and his home was perfect for our family of 5, though this home can fit 15+ people comfortably. The beds seemed new and very comfortable and everything was very clean. The property has an incredible deck with a breathtaking view of the lake - we took advantage of relaxing in the hot tub while our kids enjoyed the games that the house provides (cornhole, etc). At night we hung out by the large, built-in firepit - with ample firewood! - though the house also has a cool fireplace that we would have used if we were staying in the winter. I would watch out for some potholes on the winding road towards the property but otherwise this was a perfect getaway which made us feel like we were in another state entirely, and not in our Chicago bubble of monotony.

Comotose by the Lake
Our family of five have a wonderful time here. We love Lake Como and enjoy being so close to town but also in a private and quiet setting. The house was exactly as described in pictures, beautiful, so nicely decorated but also clean and comfortable, walked down the lake every morning . We had everything we needed for cooking in the kitchen. Felt right at home. Our host was super friendly and quickly responsive in every question we had. We would love to go back again at Comatose!

Quaint, quiet condo minutes from Lake Geneva
Lively apartment, beautiful area, attentive host. Place was clean and spacious. We enjoyed our stay. Could hear the neighbors from upstairs. Didn’t bother me, but if you are not used to having neighbors it can be distracting.

Elegant 4-Season Lake Geneva Condo w/ Fireplace!
Couldn’t have enjoyed this spot more! Already planning on going back soon because it was everything we wanted and more. Highly highly recommend, just don’t reserve it too often so we can go back! Haha

Magnificent waterfront views & cozy fireplace
Lori’s place was amazing! The location was perfect, peaceful, yet centrally located near tons of things to do. Whether you want to explore or just head back to relax, it’s the ideal spot. I highly recommend taking your coffee out onto the balcony to enjoy the beautiful view, it was one of my favorite parts of the stay. Lori was incredibly responsive and checked in often to make sure I had everything I needed. I would 100% stay here again in a heartbeat!

LakeView-SummerPool-FamilyFriendly-CloseToTown
We had an incredible stay at this beautiful Lake Geneva Airbnb! The home felt so welcoming from the moment we walked in. The location couldn’t have been better. Just minutes from the lake and downtown, we were able to enjoy charming local shops, great restaurants, and stunning lakeside views without needing to drive far. It was the perfect blend of peaceful retreat and convenient access to everything Lake Geneva has to offer. Our host was outstanding—friendly, responsive, and truly committed to making our stay comfortable. They provided excellent local recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed. Whether you're looking for a romantic weekend, a family getaway, or just some time to relax by the water, this place is a gem. Wehighly recommend it to anyone visiting Lake Geneva!

Abbey Springs - Lake Geneva - 2 BR - Sleeps 6
This place was absolutely perfect for a wedding in the area. It’s close to the action and the breakfast at Abbey Springs was delicious. Beds are comfy, couches are even comfier, and the screened porch allowed for peaceful vibes on an early fall weekend. Nancy and Fred’s accommodations were perfect and I can’t thank them enough!

NEW! Updated Lake Geneva Resort Luxury Suite
We had a great time! The location is perfect and we loved the pool!

Condo in Geneva with lake views!
What a great get away for my cousin and I. The condo association has beautiful grounds there are very well kept and the view of lake Como was fabulous! The neighbors upstairs were very loud but this was not the owners fault at all and we have no control over. The other neighbors were all very friendly, we enjoyed several conversations with them during our stay. I would probably place some different curtains on the sliding door since the ones there currently are see through and the pull out sofa bed is right there next to the door. The beds were very comfortable and we were in walking distance of a few local restaurants that we visited for drinks one evening. We had morning coffee outside, chairs were very comfortable. We would stay there again in the future!
