Perfect for a Bachelorette Party

We used this VRBO for a bachelorette party. The host was very responsive when I had questions, and the house was perfect for our group of 6. It's in a quiet neighborhood, which was perfect for our group's vibe. Location was great so close to Williams Bay and only about a 10-15 minute drive to Lake Geneva's Main Street.

Family trip

House was clean, 3 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom. Loved the front porch dining table and house had a variety of games- scrabble, uno, cards etc. also had lots of baby toys and dolls my daughter had fun playing with. Has lots of pans and cooking utensils, as well as a propane grill but Did not have any salt or basic spices. Fire pit was nice and they had marshmallow roasting sticks. Was a nice home base and good space when we had a rainy day that we were all still able to enjoy together

We really enjoyed our stay at the Bay House. Comfortable rooms and the covered porch in a quiet area. During our short stay we were able to shop in Lake Geneva, walk on the Lake Path, see the Yerkes Observatory and sit on the benches at the Williams Bay beach area watching all the activity. There is much to do around this good location.
