Summary Summary
Lakefront living offers a truly exception lifestyle experience, from the organic connection with nature to the stunning vistas, the virtually unlimited number of opportunities for recreation and everything in between. It truly is a dream-like atmosphere, and it gets even dreamier when you can experience all these perks and more on popular Geneva Lake!
Description Description
House on the Bay offers rare access directly to the shores of this sparkling, crystal-clear waters, a tranquil 2-bedroom getaway and the gateway to your next grand adventure.

In the warmer months, you can already imagine spending days swimming off the dock or boating around out on the water, while the colder months bring opportunity for skiing and snowboarding, ice skating, and brightly lit festivals. You’ll be conveniently located within walking distance to downtown Williams Bay, with options for shopping, dining, ice cream, and exploration via the Kishwauketoe Nature Conservatory. For more of a city-like atmosphere, bustling Lake Geneva is just a 10-minute drive away. When you’re ready for a break from all the action, return to the home for quieter moments spent enjoying a refreshing beverage on the deck while the grill master among you whips up a barbeque feast to enjoy al fresco at the outdoor dining table. As the sun begins to set, gather around the firepit to catch up with loved ones and toast up tasty treats

Inside the home, spend your well-earned downtime in serene spaces designed to maximize connectivity and relaxation, with bright, natural light streaming in from wall-to-wall windows keeping those luscious lake views front and center. Sink into plush living room sofa seating while you stream episodes of all your favorite shows on the smart TV. The well-equipped kitchen can accommodate all your mealtime aspirations, with full-sized appliances and ample countertop space and cabinetry for preparation and storage. Gather the whole crew at the table where memories are made swapping stories while sharing a home-cooked meal or takeout from a newly discovered local restaurant.

This home comfortably sleeps 6 guests between 2 private bedrooms and a queen size sleeper sofa in the living room.
Bedroom #1 includes a king size bed and deck access.
Bedroom #2 includes a queen size bed.
The home’s full guest bathroom includes a single vanity and shower/tub combo.

My wife , daughter and 5 month old granddaughter began a girls weekend tradition and they said that they couldn’t have had a better place to start. The house was perfect for them. Plenty of space, walking distance to Williams Bay stores/ restaurants and a short drive to Lake Geneva and the petting zoo. The house was very clean and cozy. Tim and Bethany communicated very well throughout. The tradition will continue next year.

Our stay was great. We loved the house it was small but fit what we needed for just a couple nights. The sofa sleeper was comfortable, the king bed was a sleep number bed, the other full bed in the front wasn’t very comfortable. The hosts were quick to respond and very friendly. The house has lake front access and gives you access to the path that goes around the lake which is super nice! There is also a park right out back to the right which was very handy! Ice cream shop and a tavern were within walking distance. The house is set back a ways from the water which I appreciated as a mom of little ones. Overall it’s a nice place to stay!

Thanks so much for your thoughtful review! We’re really glad to hear the home worked well for your stay and that you enjoyed the lake access, nearby spots, and the park. We appreciate the feedback about the front bed too, and we’ll take a look at that. Hope to have you and your family back again sometime! Tim & Bethany

We had a wonderful time in Williams Bay. This was the perfect place to stay for our family of four - within walking distance to beaches, restaurants, and more. The waterfront view was beautiful during sunrise and sunset. Our hosts were gracious and responsive - we look forward to visiting again in the future.

Everything was great – the first floor was cozy with cabin charm and a beautiful view of the bay. We enjoyed the deck and shady yard and brought our pup along! Perfect location for walking the lakefront path and an easy walk to Green Grocer, Harpoon Willies, Frosty Moose & Pier 290. We will return!

We had a fantastic stay at Tim and Bethany’s place in Williams Bay! The two-bedroom first-floor unit was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The backyard was a highlight—beautiful, spacious, and leading right to the water. We loved how walkable the location was, with great restaurants and a lovely park just a short stroll away. Tim and Bethany were wonderful hosts—friendly, responsive, and always quick to answer any questions (usually within minutes!). Overall, a great experience and we’d happily stay here again!

Cannot say enough about this charming little place. It sits on the bottom floor of an old house with one family for generations, and has a truly spectacular open front lawn spilling out directly onto the shores of Williams Bay. Stunning views from the windows. Rooms are not big, but are very cozy, sweet, uncluttered and impeccably clean. This made the entire space seem bigger than it was, and we never once felt crowded. The patio doors from the master BR and the floor to ceiling windows in the living room offer a beautiful scene. Loved looking at the stars at night, walking to the Pier 290 Restaurant and the Green Grocer, to Harpoon Willie's and the lakefront. Relaxing neighborhood full of mature trees...very quiet unit. Outside, the two neighbors are in close quarters to front yard, but did not matter due to the generous slice of land this house owned all the way to the waterfront. This was our second visit, and will not be our last. Wonderful hosts-super responsive.

The house was immaculate, well appointed, comfortable and cozy, clean, with walking access to good restaurants like Pier 290. The location of being right on the lake front and lake walking path made the place. The outside of the house while charming would benefit from some TLC: repairs to rotting wood and updated landscaping. Overall, we had a most enjoyable stay from start to end. We would stay there again. Thank you for opening your beautiful lake house to us.

This was the perfect winter getaway for my boyfriend and black lab. The house is super cute and looks exactly like the pictures. Super long property right on the lake - was awesome to play fetch with our pup! Super close (walking distance) to some good restaurants and a short 10 min drive to Lake Geneva City for more fun. I would definitely recommend this place to others and would stay here again!

The cottage by the lake is in a great place to walk and interact with Williams Bay. It was clean and offered a comfortable environment. One thing - we stayed because our floors were being redone and the hosts were not willing to adjust dates - even though we only wanted to adjust by one day for the same amount of time and the cottage was available. Otherwise communication and everything was fine.

Not to say that the property wasn't cute but the home/space was older than it looked in the pictures. The exterior needs some love and maintenance and the interior was cute but smaller than expected. The beds were ok and the TVs were confusing to work (no remote directions provided) Over all it was cozy and quiet and the access to the lake was lovely. I would stay here again.
