Owner was great to work with
House is older, but in a great location. It has a King or Queen bed in each room which is hard to find. Everyone also had there own bathroom. Would stay again.

Girls Weekend Midweek
We planned a girls getaway in Lake Geneva. The house fit our needs really well and was fairly close to downtown. One major downfall was that it was on a pretty busy street. Lots of early morning (5:30 - 6:00) traffic noise. Property owner was very nice and answered emails very quickly.

Lots of space
The house is quite large and has plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. It has a kitchen with fairly updated appliances. It is a short walk to catch a boat tour on Lake Geneva and a short walk to downtown. The beds were comfortable. The owner was quite responsive to all of my questions. would say the property does need some updating, especially the bathrooms.

Amazing Stay
This property was a beautiful place to celebrate a friends birthday with loved ones with so much space to stretch our legs. We had a great time, close to the downtown area, with amazing communication with our host. I highly recommend others to check this place out!

Triathlon Family Weekend
This home was perfect for us. Our family of 14 fit beautifully. Loved the idea of bedrooms having their own bathroom. The kitchen is new and well supplied with large cooking pans and enough dishes. We also used the large grill on patio. Loved the large patio with enough seating & tables for all of us. In fact, we had a "Music Jam Session" one night and it is such a spacious area around the home that I don't think we disturbed anyone. It's a perfect location to downtown Lake Geneva as you can walk downtown. We used the large yard for many outdoor activities. Tony was very accommodating by seeing to our every need. In fact, our 3 year old great-grandson from AZ needed a life vest. Tony supplied that for us. Several of the family wanted to fish and again Tony gave them suggestions. Sidebar: Our sons and grandsons all placed 1st in their division at the Lake Geneva Triathlon. We will highly recommend staying here. Another thing, you can rent for a weekend. Thanks, Tony. .

Great place close to the lake
We had a large family get together and the place was perfect. Tony is a great host- he was there when we arrived and showed us around and made sure we had his number in case we needed anything. Plenty of room for the 12 of us. Nice size bedrooms, updated bathrooms and a beautiful new kitchen that made meal prep a breeze. Great outdoor space also. Looking forward to our next visit!

Our family had a fabulously memorable experience at the Wells house!
Tony's house on Wells was a fabulous find for our family of 12. The house is clean and inviting. Lots of large windows allow light to come in, but, because the yard is wooded, it is very private. It is so lovely and calming! The beds, bedding, and furniture are extremely comfortable. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, which is a real bonus! The kitchen is roomy with a counter which we either sat around to eat breakfast or where we set up the food buffet style when we chose to eat on the large, comfortable patio or the dining room. The kitchen is equipped with every utensil, pot, pan, cookware, and dish a large group would need to prepare and enjoy meals together. Appliances are new. Towels and bathroom tissue are supplied in the bathrooms. The yard is large and lovely. We enjoyed s'mores by the fire pit, and played badminton and bags which we brought along. The outdoor porch was a wonderful place for us to gather with coffee in the mornings or conversation when taking a break throughout the day. The house is a couple of blocks walk to town and the beach. We truly enjoyed walking together with our children, their spouses,and the grandchildren. So memorable! Tony got back to us immediately when we had any questions. Just a couple of suggestions - There is not a door on the bathroom in the bedroom with one bed. Probably this should be added. Also, a washer and dryer would be a great convenience for the house occupants. We will definitely contact Tony to stay at the Wells house again when we return for another fantastic Lake Geneva vacation!

Awesome Property!
Had a great experience overall. Tony was very easy to communicate with in terms of quick and helpful responses. The place was great for our big group: tons of space, beds, and had more than enough cookware to make breakfast each morning. Location was great too - close to Grand Geneva and very close to downtown. When I'm in Lake Geneva again I'll definitely rent from Tony again!

Wonderful Property for Fun Girls Weekend Getaway!
We rented The Nautical for a "girls weekend" to Lake Geneva in early December. There were 13 of us staying at the property. The house was plenty large for our group and everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. The home was clean and really fit our needs completely. The location was IDEAL! Even in December, the home was a walkable distance to the main street in Lake Geneva - and was a quick, inexpensive Uber ride later in the evening when it was a bit too cold to walk. Tony was absolutely delightful to work with...responsive, accommodating and just overall kind. We intend to make our girls trip an annual occurrence and will most definitely work with Tony for our rental needs the next time we visit Lake Geneva.

The pictures does not do the home justice.
We stayed in this wonderful home and beautiful cottage for a Girls weekend with my closet friends/family celebrating Birthdays & New Marriage the homes were lovey very clean the Amenities were great...plenty of room everyone was comfortable 16 women so all the extra bathroom space & bedding was a plus. There is a great table for all of us to enjoy food and laughter a nice patio area that we enjoyed cause amazingly the weather was beautiful for this time of the year. Tony texted to make sure we arrived and to make sure we had everything we needed which was a major plus for me.. The location was Awesome everything we wanted & needed right at our fingertips we dance laughed and didn’t have to worry about the neighbors we will definitely be back real soon.

Great group home
This house was perfect for a group of 14 people. Not only did everyone have enough space but the property was huge. In the back they have an awesome cooking area where we all grilled out and then after we went deep back into the yard and had a fire and played bags. This house is in s perfect location. We walked down the street to the downtown area and did a little bar hopping. If you are staying with a group it's tough to find a better home and location. The owner was always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed and were comfortable. I'll be renting again and highly recommend it

Great house in a great location
I hosted a bachelorette party at the house and everything was perfect - the house had a lot of character and plenty of space, the outdoor patio was lovely, and we couldn't have asked for a better location. I also appreciated the excellent communication from the owner.

About the host

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Tony Scalzitti, I grew up in Elmwood Park, IL and currently live in Elmhurst, IL. I went to school at the University of St. Francis. I work for Country Financial and also own The Nautical Inn of Lake Geneva. We are professional Inn Keepers and can handle large groups. We cater to any special needs.

Why they chose this property

Huge Yard for large groups. The house is only 2 blocks to downtown Lake Geneva, easy walk to shops, restaurants and beach. There is also a separate cottage in the back available to rent.

What makes this property unique

The house is private one acre property. This property is unique because of the private cottage in the back that can be rented together or separately. When there are separate guests staying in each dwelling, there is good separation between them, each with their own driveway, private yard space and firepits.
