We had a beautiful stay. My entire family loved it and look forward to the next stay. Anything you could need was provided. Easy check in and out. We loved our stay from start to finish! Nearby shopping, lakes, restaurants, etc. As a North Shore Chicagoan, it was a fantastic getaway for the holidays. We’d love to experience the Spring/Summer there next!

Our group of 3 couples enjoyed our 2 night stay while visiting for a wedding. The house is so cute! The decor and high end finishes are just lovely. Everyone enjoyed the house and there was plenty of space for all of us. Each couple had their own en-suite bathroom which was very helpful with 6 of us all trying to get ready for the wedding at the same time. 😊We all wished we could stay another night to just relax and hang out at the house. Hope we can return again!

Nice and clean house with very responsive and proactive hosts. Lots of space for our family, and a very big washer/dryer which is helpful when traveling with kids! Lots of outdoor chairs to enjoy the weather while at home too. Very pleasant stay

We stayed here for my birthday trip, the owners were responsive, the house was gorgeous, I actually don't think the pictures do it justice, I would move in if I could! It looked brand new, all the bedrooms were good sized and the master was huge! We loved how every room had its own bathroom, made it very easy for everyone to get ready! Kitchen was beautiful with new appliances and it was super nice to have the fire pit outside as well! No issues checking in or out, it was very easy. 10/10 would stay here again!

Absolutely beautiful place to stay!! Very comfortable and plenty of space for all of us, including adult (and nearly adult) children! Location to Yerkes Observatory is excellent and is on our itinerary to tour next time! (FYI, inside is only open for scheduled tours but the grounds and are beautiful and open anytime.) Close to Lake Geneva and all surrounding areas. Would definitely stay here again!!!

The property worked for our family and grandkids as we were in town for a family reunion. Each bedroom had its own bathroom which was nice. No bathtubs - but knew that going in. This property is located on a busy street, but we didn't spend a lot of time outside at the house. No flexibility for checking in early - (was hopeful due to small children naps) Noticed some dents in the refrigerator upon arrival and the hosts were responsive and asked for photos. Everything worked, linens were nice.

Thanks for your thoughtful review, Joan. We're glad the layout suited your family and that the linens met your expectations. Thanks for staying with us during your reunion. Looking forward to hosting you again! Tim & Bethany

Very clean and updated home. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and extra bedding if needed. There was a sidewalk by to take walks, that was nice. The grill was charcoal & small, a bit inconvenient, but it was a lovely home away from home for 5 days!

Thanks for your feedback, Lindsay. We're glad the home felt like a comfortable retreat and that the kitchen and bedding met your needs. We appreciate your note about the grill and hope to improve that for future stays. Thanks for choosing to stay with us! Tim & Bethany

Very nice and clean accommodations. Hosts were responsive and helpful. Walking distance to Williams Bay and lovely trails to walk nearby at the Observatory.

Yerkes Observatory was the gem we didn’t expect. Worth staying here just for easy access to this 100+ year old observatory. Home was clean and newer; outdoor seating & firepit need a refresh, but all in all a great home & space.

Thanks, David and Vanessa! So glad you enjoyed your stay—and totally agree, Yerkes Observatory is such a hidden gem! We appreciate the feedback about the outdoor space and will definitely take a closer look. Hope to welcome you back sometime! Tim & Bethany

Three couples on the way to Lake Geneva for a couple nights stay. On the way we stopped for lunch and one of the wives asked who picked out the house for this trip. My wife said "Brian did". The shocked look on their face did not stop their lightning fast hands from grabbing their cell phones to look for hotels in the area we were going. I rolled my eyes and said "Just give it a chance". "That's what you said the last three houses you picked and we almost died"! That was a wild exaggeration and it's obvious I need new friends. We pull up the house and the wives mumble "This does look pretty nice, but we better look inside before we take our bags in". "Remember the last house he picked out"! I walked around the house with the wives and their heads were nodding with big smiles and lots of nice compliments, they thought the house was awesome and the stay was great! If we go back they said I could pick out the house but it had to be this one. Thanks you owners for making me look good!!

The hosts were very responsive, professional and friendly. We really appreciated how clean the house was. It was welcoming and a quick drive to downtown Lake Geneva. If you’re visiting the Yerkes Observatory, it’s right down the road about a minute from the house. Great stay! We would go again!

We really liked the house. It was perfect for the size of our family. You could offer a few more towels so you don’t have to wash each day. Also a table and mirror in the guest bedroom downstairs would have been nice. Otherwise it was perfect! We Enjoyed our time

We loved our stay at Grand Welcome Lake Geneva. It was a quick drive to downtown Lake Geneva but located in a lovely quiet neighborhood. The home is comfortable with all the amenities you need. Great kitchen and lovely wrap around porch for morning coffee. Definitely recommend and would stay again.

We enjoyed our stay - the house is modern, comfortable and well stocked and is close to the lake, shopping and restaurants.

The property was very nice and clean. The bathrooms were well provisioned and the bedrooms were quite comfortable. My sisters and I are in our 70's and it was a little challenging to navigate the steep stairs to the 2 upstairs bedrooms. This should probably be mentioned or pictured on the property description. It would have been nice if some basic coffee, creamer and sugar were provided as we had to rush to the store after we got there. Overall we did enjoy our stay.

This house was clean and exactly as advertised. The appliances were new and each bedroom is an ensuite with a bathroom. Easy to access and a beautiful lot. I cannot emphasize enough how clean this house is! If it's available, we will definitely stay again!

We've stayed here several times, and we absolutely love it here. It has everything we need, it's cozy, it's clean, kid-friendly/dog friendly, beautiful view, extremely peaceful, and the owners are helpful and kind. We LOVE it!!

We had a great stay at the Milky Way Cottage. The only downside was some traffic noise, especially at night. Hoping the Williams Bay water situation gets resolved quickly. Thankfully, it didn’t affect our enjoyment of the cottage. Everything we needed was provided in this very cute and very clean property. The host was in touch regularly throughout our stay. A nice personal touch!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Milky Way with our group of friends. Very clean and well stocked. Exactly what you need for a weekend getaway at Lake Geneva.

Just fantastic. A really nice house, with all the details in design and amenities. Walkable to the observatory and close to lots of restaurants and bars. Even nicer than the pictures! Host was very kind and responsive.

Our few days in Williams Bay was not long enough! The Milky Way home was just what we needed to relax and unwind. The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were comfortable, the home was very clean, and communication with the owner was excellent. I would highly recommend this home for any occasion! Thank you for a lovely home away from home!
