The large driveway has free off-street parking for your group, and a snow plow service clears the driveway and walkways in winter. You will want a car. Milwaukee airport (MKE) is about 49 minutes away and Chicago O'Hare (ORD) about 80.
AREA
Lake Como is a 9-minute walk or 2-minute drive. The Getaway on Lake Como serves breakfast and dinner right on the water. In fall, walk the Geneva Lake Shore Path for color; in winter, Grand Geneva has skiing and snowboarding. Watch for sandhill cranes in the yard. The home is not lakefront.
GOOD TO KNOW
• Stairs: about 15 steps down, with no handrail, to the two lower-level bedrooms and the game room; 4 steps up to the upstairs bedrooms
• Sound carries: the wood floors upstairs creak and voices travel, so early risers and late sleepers will hear each other
• The backyard is open, with no fence
• An exterior security camera on the deck overlooks the driveway
• Quiet hours 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM, out of respect for neighbors
• No smoking and no pets
