This property was amazing. I was a little confused about the setup at first. I didn't know three of the 8 bed rooms was separate from the main house but that still worked out great. Danny was very helpful and even gave great suggestions on places to hang out that would be most appropriate for the age group that was with, It was oldest sons 30th bday and we couldn't have selected a better place, I suggest to anyone looking for a perfect vrbo bnb pick this one!!

Great views, house needs maintenance and deep cleaning.
The lake view and fire pit were great. The house needs maintenance, deep cleaning and interior paint job. The master bedroom toilet broke, the kitchen sink piping leaked, the hvac system did not work properly, the oven was filthy, all bathrooms have yellow water stains and the house overall is dirty. The requirement to wash, dry & fold all towels is difficult with only one washer and dryer. The proper manage was very responsive to all issues; he has a very tough job with the condition of this house.

Perfect place for extended family lake vacation
We had a group of 11 ranging in age from 9 to 87 and this location was perfect. Lots of bedrooms/floors so everyone could be together but have some privacy as well. Everything was first class and we highly recommend the pontoon boat as well.

We stayed at your beautiful home for an entire week. The weather was hit or miss but that was ok because we spent a couple of days just chilling watching movies and playing games and then a couple of days in Lake Geneva. We would highly recommend staying at this property.

Family Get Together
This house was perfect for our large family holiday. Plenty of space for everyone to move around and be comfortable. The kids didn't really use the bunkroom as the gaming counsel was removed prior to our check-in but the ping pong table and dart board got a lot of use, even hosting a tournament! The bedroom layout worked great for the group. And while we weren't able to be outdoors, the views were phenomenal! Thank you for sharing your home.

We stayed in Delavan for a special occasion and found this property. Wow- all I can say is that I am glad I read all the amazing reviews it received and now here’s mine. I give it 5 stars, more things to do on and in the property than at home. I am looking forward to renting again in the spring/summer so we can partake in the outdoor amenities. Thank you so much for adding a home feel to our vacation away.

Great multi-family house
We had a wonderful week with 3 families. The house was well spread out and was very comfortable for all. The teens especially loved the bunk house above the garage. There was not a lot of extra space for boats, so we had to rent one most days and return it each night. More dock space would have been nice. The property manager was fantastic and easy to work with, communicate with and get in touch with. Lots of great food options nearby and we found Delavan to be a perfect lake for our needs.

Gorgeous
My family sprung for this location due to the beautiful pictures and the allowance of dogs. We have a senior yorkie whose days are limited and another senior mid size dog that has separation anxiety. This place was absolutely perfect for us to create lasting memories. We used the downstairs fireplace once, which was great. We used the garage area a ton. Our 4 & 5 year olds loved playing ping pong. Not to mention the home being well appointed and comfortable in every way. From prior rentals, there was some minor wear to the carpets, but that’s somewhat expected given the light color and rental usage. All in all we really enjoyed the location and home. There is a family friendly bar/restaurant down the street that we will check out next time! This home is a wonderful place for a large family or multiple families. Thank you to the owners and managers for making our stay wonderful.

Beautiful Lake View
We totally enjoyed the home and the neighborhood. Most of the bedrooms were wonderful. We did agree that the 3 bedrooms above the garage are minimal (furniture and decor and air) It was quite stuffy and hot up there upon arrival until the next day when the air made it's way over. I know it's listed as the "kids area" but when you are looking for beds for a large number of women and see this home listed, we expected a bit more since we had to include these 3 bedrooms for our group. And we were disappointed that the entry for this area is in the garage without carpeted steps. This area also needed night stands and lamps by the beds. Otherwise, there's enough kitchen supplies and towels and seating and bathrooms for 12 or more. We had a great time in the family room by the huge table, and spent some time on the upstairs deck. The 4 season room was a bit disappointing since it is so small and could not seat our group. And thanks to the owners for the multitude of towels, that was wonderful! Be sure to read your Check out list regarding washing these towels before departure. We have never seen this rule for washing towels before leaving and it is not an easy feat with morning showers and 1 washer. We assumed, as most rentals, this is covered under the cleaning fee.

Fantastic House
We had a family reunion at the Delevan Lake House. The accommodations were perfect for the family's needs, with a master bedroom to die for, a ground floor bedroom for our elderly parents, an annex area through a separate garage entrance where the older kids all slept, and a downstairs wing for a family unit with younger children. The lake view is beautiful and we enjoyed the outdoor areas when the weather permitted. The house was clean and the manager and owner were attentive and accommodating. We will be back!

We had an amazing time at the house. This was our second time staying here and it never disappoints! The kitchen and home are well appointed with anything you might need. Ping pong table in the garage with spectator chairs was a big hit again! The lake views are amazing from the comfortable seating area with a fire table for cool nights. All in all a great time was had by everyone. Chris the house manager was friendly and responsive. Great home! Highly recommend!

Family Get Together
Three of Us met, two of which were from out of state and unfamiliar with the gorgeous area. The weather couldn’t have been better. Therefore, we got to spend time outside using the firepit in the evenings as well as the patio each morning. The house is very accommodating and well equipped. The upstairs bedroom with view is extremely luxurious. I especially enjoyed the steam shower. Each of us had a floor to ourselves, and had plenty of privacy. I must say; the separate children’s space above the garage was spectacular if you have kids. What an addition. This house would be great for large groups. We would definitely return.

Great space for big familIes or multi family
We loved this house. They thought of everything. Our family of 8 enjoyed plenty of space and lots to do here. We never got to all of it. The kitchen was appointed with everything we needed. There was even an extra fridge/freezer in the garage for beverages and food overflow from the main fridge. The natural gas grill was great for our nightly grilling needs. The beds were comfortable and the pillows were great! There were so many fun games including a ping pong table we used for nightly ping pong tournaments! We rented the owners boat too. I would highly recommend it! It’s a beautiful Harris boat and pulled our adult children on the tube with little effort. It was amazing! This house is top notch. Chris was super easy to work with. We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Carnegie Management LLC

Host profile image
At Carnegie Management LLC, our mission is to experience the world’s finest locations, activities, and beauty and share the locations and properties we find on our travels with others. You can learn more about us at www.carnegiemgmtllc.com.

Why this location:
If you are a lake lover, let us begin by sharing our lake standards, see https://www.lakewinnipesaukee.net/ This beautiful lake is featured in the movies "On Golden Pond" and "What About Bob" and sadly is without equal in the Midwest. We are transplants from Lake Winnipesaukee New Hampshire to the Midwest and yes, lake snobs. We have been searching for years to find the right place to give our friends and family the lake experience we grew up with and we finally arrived on Lake Delavan. Unfortunately we can't be there all the time, so we decided to share our new lake home with other families hungry for the same experience. We genuinely hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

First, the lake itself. We have found Lake Delavan to be the perfect balance between Lake Geneva (too stuck up and dangerously busy on the weekends) and the much smaller lakes in the area (Lauderdales, Beulah, Whitewater, etc.). Although somewhat smaller than Geneva, Delavan is plenty of lake for all the boating and watersports fun we need without the insane boat traffic. Delavan's water quality and size is superior to the smaller lakes in the area.
Second, the house. In our lake home search we ran into a broad range of old and cramped converted cottages. Ancient bases, low ceilings, and endless and poorly designed additions were a big turnoff. Built in 2003, this house has a modern and smart design that maximizes lake views and sleeping and entertaining spaces. It is very efficient, easy, and relaxing to be in.
Third, the experience. Growing up on a lake gave us a deep appreciation for lake living. Jumping and swimming in the lake. Floating for hours on the tubes and air mattresses. Badminton, croquet, frisbee, water balloon and squirt gun fights on the front lawn. Fishing with our dads and friends. Tearing around on the jetskis and boats. Forth of July with fireworks. Wandering along the lake front and making new friends. Long evening cruises. Parties with campfires by the water.
If this is the experience you are looking for, its all right here with certification from lake snobs.
