Great Place.

11 Women from all over the US have kept in touch since university days years ago. We gathered, mixed and mingled in the kitchen and 2 living areas, catching up on families, jobs and travels. We ventured out to eat ice cream from the corner store and took a lake tour. Walked the neighborhood down to the lake and tried enjoyed sandwiches from Chucks. Great place!

Perfect for a multigenerational family gathering.

Heritage House was the perfect place for our family gathering, quirky yet functional. Each family group had it's own apartment yet we had a central place for all to gather. The treehouse was especially fun for the children! We were only there for 2 nights for a family wedding ann needed a longer stay to take full advantage of all the spaces and amenities Heritage House had to offer.

Perfect

This place was perfect for my bachelorette party! It had 4 different kitchens to help us prepare food and we even had a little party room! Enough space for everyone to have a bed and sleep comfortably. 10/10 would go again if I needed a lot of space!

Too short but very sweet stay

Quiet area. Great set up for our large family. It's three apartments with some good common space. Easy walk to downtown and the beach if your littles are up for the task (read strollers). Ground level two bedroom suites then two upstairs. The home is very clean and has what you need to be comfortable. Great deck outside lower kitchen. Ate most meals out there. Lake Geneva is a beautiful clean lake. We were there everyday. Bring beach towels. A couple of good kid parks nearby, coffee shop, ice cream, pizza, etc. Easy to roam to other nearby towns. Was grateful for how well it suited our needs to be separate and together. Enjoy!

Happiness

Loved the deck so much. We were outside every day. Large home enough space to get away if you needed to and still have meals together. We needed more beach passes but love the neighborhood and beach and restaurants were great. Coming back‼️

Lots of space near the lake

We loved Heritage House for our family gathering. Thirteen of us were able to be together and yet have separate space. The house is well equipped, and the location was perfect for our 4th of July weekend stay. The hosts were responsive and very helpful. This was a great place for us.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Prime location in Fontana, within walking distance of the beach, park, ice cream. The place was equipped with everything we needed plus more. Having three separate kitchens was a bonus. Definitely a five star stay! Thanks John!

Perfect house for a large group

The Heritage House is great for large groups. The multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens and living spaces were great for my extended family’s annual get together. Plenty of bedding and kitchen supplies. The beach; parks, shops, coffee shop and ice cream are all a short walk from the house.

Multiple family great escape

John could not have been more helpful planning for our family reunion. He responded immediately to questions on the home and area. The house is huge which allowed us to have babies sleep on one side and family games on the other. We easily fit everyone eating in the main kitchen and cooked s’mores on the fire pit outside. It is conveniently located within walking distance of the lake. It was a wonderful family escape that allowed us to connect. I highly recommend.

Good location and lots of private space

We had a family get-together at this VRBO. We had private bedrooms/baths, and could get together in several common areas, the multiple kitchens and a shaded patio area. After touring the town of Lake Geneva, we were happy to be in Fontana...beach access, less traffic, and very walkable to the lake trail, a beach, and a great ice cream spot! Who could ask for anything more?

Great place to stay with a large group!

This place is fantastic for a large group. We were up for our nephews wedding and had 20 miscellaneous family members staying together. There is plenty of room, beds, and bathrooms. It had been 3 apartments so you can be separate if you want to but you can also leave all the doors open and treat it like one big house. The owners were very easy to get ahold of and responsive if we had any questions. Since we were her for the wedding we did not a chance to get out and enjoy the area but did walk down the block for ice cream. We would highly recommend staying here!

Unique House for Big Group

We had 17 people in our group and had an amazing time and plenty of room at this home! The 3 different apartments within the home allowed plenty of space for the whole group and it was so nice having 3 different kitchen places. We all were able to gather on the deck and the “Gathering Place” inside. This house was so well equipped to handle a larger group, I could not recommend more! It was also only a 10 minute walk to the dock which was extremely convenient.
