We loved the house. It was very comfortable for the 5 of us. We were able to walk to the lake and lunch and it was a short drive to the event we were attending. Everything we needed was available, which was great.

Wonderful Christmas Vacation

We just loved the condo. They even put up a Christmas Tree so we really got in the spirit. When I needed to contact owners with question they got right back to me. The place was charming, clean and a GREAT location. We will be back soon.

Stay in Williams Bay

Stay was overall good! Location is fantastic for lake access, restaurants and ease of getting around. Few spiders/bugs but it’s that time of year I guess. Communication was good. No central air but overall cool enough…However, there was construction going on RIGHT next door and there are 4 other rentals right next door as well!

Good location

The Location of the place was great. It needed just a little more cleaning. We found cobwebs in several places. It definitely needs to be sprayed for bugs, we had several spiders, silverfish, and other types of bugs. We just killed them and went on with the day. They just need to spray a couple of times and the problem would be solved. Overall, it was a great stay!

Absolutely Recommend!

Stay was fantastic. Place was beautiful. We had one little situation which was minor and the hosts responded and solved the issue right away. Very responsive and kind hosts! Had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable and clean. The only thing that was difficult was for all of us to watch tv together due to the way the furniture is set up. I wish the couch was across from the tv and not next to it. But that is something that may not bother everyone. Just for my family it was hard for all of us to be together in that space of the living room.
