We had seven ladies and very much enjoyed our stay. The location was very convenient to Lake Geneva and shopping. The bathrooms and kitchen were very nice, and the open concept kitchen/living/dining area made visiting with each other a great experience. The fireplace was wonderful! My only recommendations would be to put mattress toppers on the beds, they were quite firm. Also, there were areas where the cleaning service needs to pay a bit more attention -- the top of the refrigeration was very dusty and under the sink needed a cleaning. Thanks for a great weekend!
This is our second time staying at this house and we love it! Close to our favorite Fontana and Williams Bay spots and the house is clean, warm and inviting. We will keep coming back year after year!
We enjoyed our stay in this lovely house. The view from the front window was amazing as it happened to snow while we there! There were plenty of towels, pillows and kitchen items for our use. We really didn’t need anything else. Would definitely stay again.
Our 40th Stewart Family Reunion was an absolute success! My 92 year old uncle and 96 year old aunt found the location lovely and convenient, and easily accessible. They actually used the front steps to the deck! The space was beautifully appointed with plenty of space to sit and move about. The whole room was bright and airy, and brought the outside inside! The dining area was nice and big. We found everything we could possibly need for our prep and cooking. The kitchen island was awesome in that we could prepare and serve on the same space and still be part of the action. The space was so ample that when most of us were inside eating it still felt roomy and spacious. Total count was 31! The kids loved the amenities and we loved the green all around us; the deck was fabulous and arranged so you could have various conversations going at the same time. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, as were the bathrooms.
Only two issues -- the mattress in the smaller bedroom was uncomfortable and one had to go sleep in the single beds bedroom. It would be helpful if there were electrical outlets on the island (in any case, we couldn't find any).
Overall rating out of 10 being the best, I would rate it a 9.5 and would definitely recommend this property to anyone who is looking for something comfortable with activities, and peace and quiet when you need it.
Thank you so much for your hospitality, Mary.
Best regards,
Elisabeth Lindemuth
We had 7 women stay in this home and it was more than comfortable! The outdoor seating area was just what we needed for a late night glass of wine and early morning coffee. The large dining table allowed us all to sit down and enjoy a meal together which was wonderful! I would suggest this home to anyone looking for a weekend away at Lake Geneva! Mary was very prompt, and even checked in with us on the phone to make sure we had everything we needed! Thanks Mary for sharing your home with us!
We had a wonderful time in Abbey Springs at this beautiful home. It was as described and was very comfortable for our family group. The large living area is awesome, with counter seating, a huge dining table, and a living room area with a beautiful fireplace. The deck is fantastic, and the weather was good, so we could enjoy coffee there as well as dinner - and the grandkids used it as a stage to entertain us!
We were able to use the garage - a real plus. A friend who has a home there let me borrow a golf cart, as there is not one available at this home. The property is not handicap accessible at all, but it is clearly advertised that way. It was not a problem for us but might be for others.
The owner is very responsive and friendly. I had to make a change in our original schedule and there were no issues at all. She was a pleasure to work with.
The home is exactly 1/2 mile from the beach - a short walk. We used the beach, playground, and outdoor pool, and hiked around the lake to Fontana. It was all fabulous. I had been to Abbey Springs many times, but this was my children's and grandchildren's first time. They all loved it and want to go back. It's very safe for the kids, and they made friends immediately. They didn't want to leave! None of us did! We will be back!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful home - it was awesome!
