It is always a challenge to find a property for our group as we age. The Nautical Inn was perfect for our group, we could spread out to relax, come together for meals and even enjoy brisk winter walks.Downtown was less than a 4 block walk, and has every kind of food and beverage you could want.We hope to return to the Nautical Inn

Childhood Friends Reunion
My sisters and I and my friend and her sisters just spent a wonderful weekend at the Nautical Inn. There were 10 of us altogether and the house was just perfect for us. Plenty of beds and some of us even got our own room. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed. Plenty of bath towels and super comfy beds. We were just 2 blocks from downtown where we boosted the economy with 10 of us doing a lot of shopping!!! There are so many good restaurants in the area and so much to do in LG. Communication was effortless with Samantha, you can tell she really cares about the people that stay at her place.

Golf trip to Lake Geneva
My friends and I stayed at this property in late August ’24. We had a large group of 10 and this property was great for our crew. - Location is unmatched, walks to many of the downtown ‘hot spots’ plus nearby to quite a few restaurants ‘off strip’ as well. - Very close (<6 minutes’ walk) to the Starbucks down the street, which can get crowded post 8 am so it’s nice to have it so close by. - Easy to drive if you’re going places around the Lake G area (golf to Evergreen, Geneva National, Grand Geneva, Hawks View), etc. as well as easy access to lake area for boat tours, walking the beach, downtown shops and more! The property was ready on time, the property manager and the owner were both very communicative leading up to check in, during check in as well as throughout our stay and afterwards. There is for sure ample parking as well, 6 spots + the street made it very easy to navigate getting there without having to consolidate cars. We look forward to being back in the years to come, 5 stars across the board, thank you!

Bachelorette Weekend
We rented this home for my bachelorette party weekend and it was absolutely perfect. The house was spacious and stocked with all appliances, dishes, etc that we needed for the weekend. It was clean and warm (it was winter) and comfortable - it felt just like home! The house was walking distance to restaurants, bars and other activities that we had planned. The few parking spots behind the house were amazing! Tony, the new owner, and Debi, the manager, were so easy to work with. They gave us all the information we needed to make the place feel like home. They both checked in with us prior to our stay and after we had left. I lost (or thought I lost) my necklace there and they went above and beyond to look for it! I have no complaints. It was a perfect weekend and I would rent this place again or recommend it to any group big or small!

Hi, I'm Tony Scalzitti, my wife Chris and I purchased the Nautical Inn from Debi Nelson in November 2016. The Nautical Inn has had two rental properties since 2003. Debi is the original owner and is still here helping with the management. Debi is still in charge of the cleaning crew, keeping these houses clean in the excellent way they have always been. She does an awesome job!!
This is a family run business and that's exactly how our guests (new friends) will be treated, just like family. I am always available to take a phone call when you are staying at the houses. Our new friends are a priority!!
