Great alternative to Lake Geneva
Spacious home with 5 bedrooms & 3 full baths. Lovely open concept main floor for gathering. Only disappointment was the lake itself. Full of green scum that we would never have swum in had it been warmer. Perhaps this is end of the year algae??

Family gathering to celebrate birthday & Fathers Day
This lakehouse is perfect for a family gathering. Very spacious, beautiful outdoor space for playing games in the yard, sitting on the dock watching boats go by, fishing and barbecuing. I helped my 2-year old grandson catch his first fish off the dock and flew kites with my granddaughter on a breezy day. The view is relaxing and the entire community is quiet and peaceful. I highly recommend this as a destination for families!

Weekend reunion
We had a group of friends stay at the house for the weekend. We had a great time cooking out on the grill and cooking breakfast in the kitchen. We used the pier for a ski boat and enjoyed skiing on the lake. One night we visited a bar thatā€™s in walking distance from the house, and we had lunch at pier 290 in lake Geneva (~5-10 minute drive). We enjoyed sitting around the fire at the fire pit in the evenings. The house was well equipped to sleep our group of 8. The kitchen had pots, pans, plates, cups, etc for grilling and cooking. We had a great weekend, thank you!

Our family time at lake house
Our stay at this house on Lake Delevan was a wonderful weekend experience for our family of seven adults and four children! There were so many things to do such as fishing off the piers or watching birds flying around the lake. The house had plenty of things to do with games and books; also the kitchen was well stocked with utensils so we could cook for ourselves or bring in food from nearby.

Carey was great to work with. Very communicative about what to expect. The layout of the house is PERFECT for hosting group of friends. Master bedroom is massive and kitchen was open, clean and had everything we needed to cook for ourselves. We also skied at Alpine which was only a 20 minute drive. This house was suited for all our needs and we had a blast! Would return 10/10!

Great for a weekend getaway with friends
A few friends and I wanted a quick weekend getaway for New Year's Eve and Carey's place was perfect. The home was exactly as described in the listing information and pictures, and Carey was very responsive to anything we needed. The kitchen was also very well appointed, which really came in handy for us making dinner together. Alpine Valley is only a short drive from the home, so a few of us were able to go ski, and those of us that didn't took the short drive into Lake Geneva to shop and eat. All in all it was a great place to stay for our group, and we wouldn't hesitate to come back!

11 days of Family Fun at the Lake
Carey's Lake House was the perfect place for a family gathering. From catching bullfrogs to watching movies while sitting around the fire, everyone made memories that will last a lifetime. There was something for everyone from age 2 weeks old to 80+ ā€“ most importantly time to get to know one another. We spent several days on the water: kayaking, canoeing, and we rented a pontoon for tubing and swimming (although pontoons could not pick-up on the inlet, we learned you can dock at Lakelawn Resort which is easily walking distance). Renting two lake houses next to each other was ideal ā€“ Carey's house (sleeps 11), Kevin's house next door (8), then we had additional family at a nearby hotel, but Carey's house served as home base for all 28 for 11 magical days!

Lakehouse review
House was very nice, kitchen, family room and view all at once! Nice technology in the house. Lots of outside chairs and a GREAT space in the back yard for games. Nice bathrooms with nice appointments, ie tiny shampoo bottles, soap, plenty of tp etc. Kitchen was nicely appointed also. Could have used more/bigger cutting boards and a toaster instead of toaster oven. In addition to regular coffee pot, there was a Keurig which would is so nice nice for hot chocolate and tea. They have a few kcups but you might want to bring more. Quiet location, Walmart under 2 miles away! Owners were great!

Only thing to note is that swimming is actually not allowed on the property per the house rules and signs posted on the property.

Six of us had a great time. The house is spacious and the kitchen is well equipped. The gas grill is very convenient and we enjoyed eating outside. We enjoyed the open floor plan, the view from the deck and walks through the neighborhood. The location is great ā€“ we rented kayaks and a canoe on Lake Geneva and enjoyed an art exhibit in Lake Geneva. We also had a great time at Lake Geneva Ziplines & Adventures.

Delavan 4th of July Fun
Our family of 11 adults had a wonderful weekend at this Delavan Lake destination! It was clean and newly painted outside. The bathrooms upstairs are very large which make them good for sharing. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped just missing a few things that would have made it perfect, but I let Carey know and hopefully he can take care of them.. We loved Delavan Lake which is a good size, lively, and very clean. The house is close to shopping, a bait shop, and a small farm stand selling fresh produce. The only reason Iā€™m not giving it 5 stars is that this house is on (what we would call) a channel. We had rented a pontoon boat for 4 days with Careyā€™s guidance. Carey called me a few days before our weekend to tell me that we couldnā€™t take the pontoon under the bridge to the cottage. This was very disappointing and changed our whole weekend. The rental place did take the boat in and out everyday for us, but we had no place to dock during the day. We made the best of it, but this really is not a cottage to take a boat. Even if it will fit under the bridge, the docks are in poor shape and it is very shallow. The wetland area across from the cottage is beautiful and peaceful, but it is not the same as being on the lake. We all agreed the house was nice and met our needs except for the boat issue Carey was responsive and we didnā€™t run into any other problems. Thank you!!
