The home has been professionally decorated throughout and the soothing color pallet and mixture of textures is warm and homey.

The house was built in the 1880's and was used by notorious Chicago gangsters in the 20's and 30's because of its secluded lakefront location and close proximity to Chicago. This house has been referenced in many biographies including those of Baby Face Nelson, John Dillinger and George "Bugs" Moran.

The home has been updated throughout and offers all the modern amenities you'd expect from an upscale vacation rental, while keeping true to its historic charm. Relics from its past can still be seen in the home today including the counting table, where money from local bootlegging and gambling operations was counted and sorted, has now been converted a rustic dining room table.

The crown jewel of this property is the lake and you can access it from a staircase off the lakeside deck and into the fenced flat yard with two large picnic tables and yard chairs. You'll also find a private beach and a large "L'" shaped pier. We have rafts, 2 kayaks, yard games including Corn Hole Toss and Bocce, as well as plenty of sand toys and a small fire pit.

Feel free to bring along your boat, jet ski, canoe or sailboat to use while staying at the Watersedge. If you'd like to arrange a rental of a boat, let us direct you to a local marina which will deliver a rental boat to the private pier at the property. The piers are typically in the water from April-October, depending on the weather. There are two restaurants on the south shore (where we are located) and three on the north shore. You can float your boat to a restaurant or bar and dock it. It's a fun way to travel.

The Watersedge is located just three miles west of Downtown Lake Geneva and all the shopping, entertainment, theaters and restaurants it has to offer. You'll find this to be the perfect location, less than a 10 minute drive to downtown, but far enough away to avoid the congestion. It's the ideal home for couples, girl's weekends, families, team building and adult groups of friends.

If you're interested in golfing this is where you'll want to stay! We overlook Geneva National Golf Course that is located on the north side of the lake and are just a short drive to the Grand Geneva's Brute and Highland Courses; Hawks View's Como Crossings or the 18-hole par three Barn Hollow.

There's plenty to do within walking distance of this home, as well, including three restaurants and lounges. The French Country Inn is just 5 houses away and features the Getaway restaurant. They have fine dining as well as a bar menu and outdoor seating on the lake. The Mars Resort and Piano bar is about a block away and is one of the most popular places in town. They have a great Friday Fish Fry, incredible burgers and sing-a-longs around the piano most weekend nights. In the summer months they have afternoon entertainment on many Saturday afternoons on their lakeside deck.

The Ridge Hotel has an incredible restaurant, Crafted Italia and The Deck Bar (with a giant fire pit) that are just up the hill on Hwy 50. They serve great food and offer entertainment on most weekends. You'll enjoy being able to walk to all these restaurants and lounges without ever having to start your car!
