About this property

Northwoods of Lake Geneva. Pet-Friendly!

You'll feel like you've entered the Northwoods when you pull down the drive to our quaint log cabin tucked under towering pines. Play at the lake all day, explore the Geneva Lake area, and then come home to grill out, dine alfresco, and take in nights illuminated by crackling fires, fireflies and a million stars.

This charming log cabin is flooded with natural light, good vibes, and a warm, welcoming personality. Imagine waking up from a peaceful sleep, to brew some coffee, and head out to the deck. Inhale a deep breath of the clean air, listen to the cheerful morning birds, and contemplate how you will seize the day.

There are two bedrooms - one main floor with a king bed, and one in loft bedroom with a queen bed, twin bed and twin trundle bed. The kitchen and main floor open up to an expansive deck sheltered by the woods. The two-story great room is equipped with a large smart TV with cable, a roaring fireplace and plenty of space. The front of the chalet has another deck overlooking the tall pines and fire pit.

Enjoy the private yard and fenced in dog run. The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking essentials, a Keurig single brewer and drip coffee pot. Deck includes a propane grill.

Whip up a great meal in the fully equipped kitchen or dine out at any of the area's notorious restaurants just a few minutes away. After dinner, settle for s'mores by the firepit. Stargazers will love the dark skies and be able to spot every constellation.

Go for a trek on the hiking trails in the area, the 22-mile lakefront trail or Kishwauketoe Nature Conservancy just down the road.

Put The Bay Chalet at the top of your bucket list and create memories that will last a lifetime!

Flexcationers! This is a perfect remote working space! Extra hi-speed wifi. There is also a small desk with office chair for remote working or learning. Post office and bank are a 2-minute drive. Coffee shop around corner.

Indoor vintage game collection and yard games including Bean Bag Toss Game and Yardzee!

Book for the holidays and enjoy the festive tree, crackling fires, Hallmark-infused cabin, hot cocoa station and holiday vinyl collection! Make your holiday memories here.

Cozy Cabin Near Lake Geneva

We absolutely loved our stay at the Bay Chalet in July. It is clean, cozy, comfortable, and perfect for a getaway for our family of 5 plus dog. We had no problems and look forward to staying again soon! Great property and communicative owners.

Overall the Chalet was just as described. We loved the rustic feel and enjoyed the fact we could bring our dogs. Holly was quick to respond to any questions. We would stay again if ever in the area. Terrific little get away during these crazy times.

The fireplace made it even that more cozy.The cabin was well stocked with everything we needed. We appreciated the outdoor games - Bags - room for our dog and plenty of space to spread out. We look forward to visiting again soon!

Amazing cabin in the woods

Fantastic! Extremely clean. Had everything...cooking utensils, indoor and outdoor games, beautiful outdoor sitting areas. Very close to Lake Geneva which is a really fun town. Enjoyed a brewery, pizza, boat ride to Black Point and a walk around Lake Geneva. Holly is an excellent host and responds quickly. Would definitely recommend this property.

Great spot and better than we ever expected

The place felt like out of a story. Very nicely kept and lots of uniqueness and attention to detail. Balcony was cool to grill out on and overlook the nature in the back. Fenced in dog yard was perfect for the dog and the fire pit and chairs were nice to make s’mores and enjoy cocktails out by. Will be back.

Deal breaker

The home is very nice and comfortable but…… We ran out of towels by day 2 and there isn’t a washer and dryer at the house and spending vacation time in a laundry mat is the deal breaker. Very nice place to stay for one or two nights!

The Tri Fecta of vacation rentals

Perfection! House, host and location! All are fabulous. Couldn't have asked for a better stay. House is so well planned out, great places to be inside and out. Inside is wonderful kitchen then dining and open living. Outside has great front yard/fire pit and back is deck/grill/dining. Hard to decide where you want to be. Holly the Host is amazing. So helpful and kind. And location, we just loved. If you are looking for a great booking for your vacation, ththis is it! Thanks Holly. We will for sure be back

Great “Up North” Feel

Loved the fireplace and the King-sized bed. Our family enjoyed celebrating Thanksgiving together here and the owner even decorated the house ahead of time for Christmas for us! I also appreciated being able to have our dog with us. Plan to stay here again in the near future.

The perfect holiday season getaway

What a wonderful property! When my husband and I walked in we were delighted to see all the holiday decor throughout the cabin, it really put us in a festive mood for the week! And the hot chocolate bar?! I was like a kid every night looking forward to my cup of cocoa. Also, the bed was so comfortable. Not always the case in rentals so that was also a great surprise. We brought along our dog who loved laying by the wood fire place after we took her for a long walk at the prairie path. One thing to note for future renters is that the fenced backyard is not accessible from the inside of the house. That may have been on me not reading the description thoroughly enough, but the grassy front yard is secluded enough that we could let her out in the morning without worry. Thank you again for hosting us, we're already planning a return trip!

Great stay!

My husband and I had a great long-weekend getaway in Lake Geneva. The house was perfect. Well-kept, quiet and set back from the main roads. A short drive or walk to the beach and just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Lake Geneva. Great place for a relaxing get away with the family (pets included!)

My group and I had a great time at the property for a getaway weekend for graduation and Country Thunder! The house was very clean and well-kept. It was put away back in the woods which was great for privacy and a quiet night. Great location just outside of downtown Lake Geneva. Would definitely stay here again!

Ski chateau

We liked the house and the vibe of the relatively secluded location. Appreciated the attention the owner provided with granting us an extra key when we needed it. The only problem with the vacation was it was too short.

Close to lake

This was the perfect cabin for our group of 5 adults and dog. Great large yard with fire pit, back deck overlooks wooded ravine, and plenty of parking for multiple cars. Getting the 21’ boat in & out was a bit challenging due to the long drive, but Holly allowed us to park it at the tiny house lot, which helped. Size & layout of the cabin was good, & furniture is comfortable. Upstairs mattresses could be replaced, but not horrible. I recommend bringing some extra towels: bath, hand & dish, if you go through a lot, as there is one per person & no washer. Probably fine for weekend stays. The marina is just down the hill. This was our first trip to Geneva, and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

About the host

Hosted by Holly Leitner

Host profile image
Hi friends! I am a fourth generation Geneva Lake native! I love this area, and it is my pleasure to create inspiring places for you to kick your feet up, relax and take it all in. I am happy to share some of my favorite things to do, and insider tips. Come enjoy the lake!

Why they chose this property

It was love at first site when I saw this log cabin. It was my dream - less than one mile to the Williams Bay downtown and beach (best area of the lake), yet tucked away in the woods with tons of tranquility. You can sit under the towering pines and listen to the boats purr across the lake, enjoy a crackling fire and feel a world away.

What makes this property unique

Log home, fire pit, woods, privacy, giant back deck, and so much more!
