About this property

Private Beach & Pier Lake Front w/ Fireplace on Lake Como - Walk to Mars Resort!

Enjoy 180 degrees of lake views from this year-round Lake Geneva home located on the shores of Lake Como. Lake Como is a quiet, non-crowded lake with a shallow bottom. The lake is approximately 9 feet at it's deepest, so it's a perfect lake for boating, tubing, waterskiing, swimming, fishing and more! Centrally located just 3 miles west of downtown Lake Geneva and also steps away from the famous Mars Resort Bar & Restaurant with a piano bar and outdoor seating on the lake.

The backyard is large with a fence separating the house from the famous Mars Resort supper club next door. There's a small private beach and pier with a boat slip to accommodate your own boat or one that you rent during your stay. We provide two kayaks, rafts, yard games and beach toys! The pier is typically in the water from April-October, depending on the weather. Ask us about boat rental recommendations.

The home has a wrap around deck with a seating area, outdoor fireplace and a BBQ grill on the first floor and a 2nd floor balcony, all overlooking Geneva National Golf Club, with its three 18 hole championship golf courses. Several more courses are just a short drive away, making the house perfect for golfers. The house is also an ideal destination for team building, couples, girls weekends, families, and adult groups of friends.

The house has an open floor plan with a kitchen that seats 8, opening to the living room with an additional dining table for 4 and couches, all overlooking the lake. There's a two-sided fireplace, and smart tv with cable provided. Please bring your favorite streaming platform logins!

There are two first floor bedrooms with queen beds in each, both have wall mounted smart TVs. There are three second floor bedrooms with closets with two twin beds in each, for a total of 6 twin beds. There is also a 2nd floor living room with a wall mounted smart TV and a queen-sized sofa sleeper with a memory foam mattress, giving the house a total occupancy of 12. We also have a pack'n'play and a high chair for those traveling with babies. There are two full bathrooms, one on each level.

This is an amazing home with a great location. Not only will you be in the center of all the fun, but you'll be able to enjoy the most magnificent sunsets in all of Lake Geneva from the house, yard, pier and deck. For the lucky ones staying for the 4th of July, you'll have an unobstructed view of the spectacular Geneva National fireworks display that will take place directly across the lake. You won't have to fight crowds and find parking, but instead will be able to enjoy them from the comfort of this home.

The local resorts have year round activities to keep our visitors busy all year. Winter is a great time to visit, as we are located near two ski hills, with ice fishing on the lake, great cross country skiing, ice skating and sledding nearby.

Autumn is a beautiful time, as well, with gorgeous foliage throughout the area including breathtaking views across the lake. There are also orchards for apple picking and many fall and Halloween events to enjoy. Spring, too, is a great time. With the ice gone, Lake Como and Geneva come back to life! There is a strawberry and blueberry farm for picking up the street and plenty of other fun seasonal things to do and see.

For larger groups, we have the house available next door that sleeps 17 people listing #4834933. We also have two other properties on the same block, The Watersedge #4822392 sleeps 18.

Perfect for us
We’re a group of friends who have been going away for a weekend every fall since meeting in college many years ago. We’ve stayed in a number of rental homes but this one was a huge hit with everyone. Clean, comfortable, well equipped kitchen, plenty of seating inside and out and great location. Very easy check-in and check-out. We loved it so much we’re already booked there again for next year!

Weekend get away !
Our overall stay was okay. We have 2 kids under two and 4 adults. Although no one was at the property, they charged us a $90 fee to check in early so our kids could nap. Most VBRO’s just let us check in early - with no fee. Essentially, we paid $90 so our kids could nap on time. The description of the house didn’t disclose their IMMEDIATELY next to Mars bar and restaurant. It got loud at night, and you had minimal privacy from the yard. Zero fish were caught off the dock over a 3 day span. A nice perk other houses had for us previously was ketchup, mustard, sugar for coffee, etc... none were at this house. It’s the little things that count. With that being said, the rooms were nice and the house layout was pretty cool.

Great property and location!
Property was great for 8 adults. Plenty of seating inside and out. All kitchen items were very clean along with the grills. Bedding was comfortable. Plenty of towels in the bathrooms. And the sunsets were amazing. Couldnt ask for a better home. In the living room were a ton of games however we did not use any of the water sport equipment located in the storage beneath the home. Parking was more than adequate for 5 large vehicles. Will stay again in the future!

Lake Como Family Vacation
Great sized house for family vacation, pictures don’t do it justice. Had everything we needed and our grandson had plenty of toys to choose from. Only drawback was that it’s directly next to the Mats Resort. That wasn’t an issue until the last night when there was live entertainment outside (which we enjoyed) and patrons were going through the backyard. This was minor and we’d definitely go back.

Great Lake house
5 bedrooms is a huge plus. Clean, modern, 3 bedrooms upstairs with 2 beds in each and a TV sitting area and balcony were amazing. Big bathroom with washer and dryer. Big washer - can do a lot of towels or clothes. 2 bedrooms down are great - 1 queen and 1 king. Bathroom downstairs big. Toilet works Great. No musty lake house smell. Hot water heater - plenty of hot water. Air conditioner works awesome. Having Mars resort next door was fun and Nice to have next door - music on WE not loud, great food and really reasonable pricing. A little further down , walkable, Getaway Inn great bar and amazing Prime Rib.. 2 kayaks were a lot of fun, plenty of floats and life jackets in under enclosed house away. Lake has some seaweed in areas but shore was great and we were able to waterski. Kitchen very well stocked with dishes, utensil , pots, pans etc. very nice refrigerator. Super easy checking, parking outside for several cars. Great Lake House

Beautiful Wisconsin Lake Location
This is a beautiful lake front property which accommodated our extended family gathering. The home was clean and very well kept. Right on the lake for easy boat docking and water sports such as kayaking, swimming, boating, etc. Very relaxing stay and at times it felt like we had the lake to ourselves (only light traffic on the lake). Will definitely consider this location again in the future.

Great House in Prime Location
This was our second stay at this house and it was fantastic! The location on the lake and sandy beach were perfect for the kids. The house has everything you need (toilet paper, dish soap, etc) making for an easy transition into vacation. Plus, we had great views of the Geneva National fireworks which was an unexpected bonus for us. We love this house and hope to come again!

Beautiful place for a retreat!
Went here with some work colleagues for a few days of team work. The upstairs loft was the perfect place to screen cast as a whole group and there were lots of smaller spaces to work in smaller groups. Plenty of parking…a 2 minute walk to a super fun supper club next door, your own beach…what more could you want? ;)

Clean and spacious lakefront stay!
We very much enjoyed our stay! The house was spacious and clean, with plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. We loved having Lake Como in the backyard and waking up to the sounds of waves and birds. The kitchen had ample counter space for cooking and we enjoyed sitting in the kitchen for our meals. The TV in the living room had most major streaming services, which was perfect for movies in the evening. We walked to Mars Resort next door for a great lunch with a lake view. Our host Ali was incredibly responsive to questions, for which we’re grateful. Most areas of interest, including Geneva Lake/Lake Geneva were within a 7-10 minute drive. Two minor drawbacks: (1) The shower upstairs and the bathtub downstairs could be bigger relative to the bathroom sizes, and (2) The house’s proximity to Mars Resort was a little noisy, even in the off-season, with the usual sounds of restaurant operations –trucks idling, doors opening/closing, etc. White noise machines were provided in all bedrooms to help remedy this though. Overall, we would recommend!
