Geneva Island Park Retreat

The house was great for our family. The host gave great advice and information about the house and surrounding areas. The house was clean and had ample room for us.

Adorable space that was perfect for a girl friend weekend. Very clean, comfortable beds and roomy kitchen with lots of utensils and dishes. We were pleased to find some games we could play in the evening after shopping in Geneva. Very quiet neighborhood with lots of characters and charm. I would highly recommend and we might rent again in the future!

This is a fine spot to stay in a neighborhood that’s got a few parks within walking distance & is a quick drive to DT Geneva. It’s very quiet at night so it’s restful for sleeping. We enjoyed the screened-in front porch to enjoy a warm spring evening. Plenty of easy parking, comfy beds, good AC. Tom and Elise provided lots of local info (though we knew the area pretty well) plus tips to avoid summer road construction.

What a charming house and neighborhood. It's thoughtfully stocked and so comfortable. Close to town!

Property met our expectations. Great location

Absolutely lovely home, everything was wonderful

Great hosts who made us feel very welcomed. House was clean and cute and worked perfectly for our girls weekend! Would definitely stay here again.

Gracious host (even came over to shovel off snow we got overnight!). Attractively updated, and fully equipped! Just like being at home! Conveniently located for visiting our son.

We had a very nice stay.

This home is very well appointed. We had everything we needed. It is so cute and comfortable. Our favorite was having coffee every morning on the front porch! The location was perfect for anything in Geneva or surrounding area!

This place was so cute!!! We enjoyed our stay so much, and we highly recommend it to anyone considering.

We had a great stay. Very comfortable. Great location. Hosts are lovely! Would highly recommend!

Stayed s week in June 2025. Property was super clean and well stocked for home away from home. Ideal location near restaurants, shopping, Tom and Elise were most thoughtful and. attentive. Wished we could have stayed longer.

This is a great house with a nice sitting area in the backyard. The home is immaculately clean! I would stay again if ever back in the area.

Communication with the hosts was excellent. The property was very clean and well maintained. The neighborhood is historical and quaint. The home is very thoughtfully decorated with modern amenities yet keeps the timelessness and charm of the era in which the home was built. We recently stayed at a five star resort over spring break that did not have mattresses and pillows even close to as comfortable as these. We were a family of four so we only used the upstairs bedrooms but my husband and I used the main floor bathroom for getting ready and our sons used the upstairs one. The home does have beautiful butcher block countertops but you do have to be careful with those. If you are looking for a clean place with historic charm and a comfortable bed, this home will be a great fit.

The home was wonderful! Such a wonderful place to stay. Very convenient to shopping and dining. I would highly recommend this property!

Wonderful home, great location, and beautiful little town

We loved our extended stay at this wonderful property. The house is immaculately clean, warm and welcoming inside, full if charm. We loved the front screen porch and back yard grill and fireplace too. Tom is an excellent host and checked in periodically to make sure we had d everything we needed. I would stay again anytime and highly recommend this spot to our friends and family.

This was a very convenient location for our periodic trips into Chicago by train to attend the Lyric Opera or Chicago Symphony. The property was very well maintained and met our needs for a post performance get together. The owner was extremely accommodating in seeing to our special needs.

All good except for towel shortage in upstairs bathroom. I was a bit surprised to see an extra perdons charge as 6 folks in 3 bedrooms seems normal. That said, the cottage is darling.

This home had great space for our group with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Very cute also. We wished the weather had been warm enough for us to enjoy the porch and fire pit. We had a cozy evening in with one of the puzzles provided while we ordered in from some of the many close by restaurants. Very convenient location.

Had an excellent time. Home was on a quiet part of the area and very close to downtown. Fridge went out prior to arrival and the host provided everything for a nice weekend stay. Thanks!

Perfect home to accommodate our family. It’s a well appointed home, in a splendid location to walk to town.

All of the previous 5 star reviews are accurate!! Highly recommend!

6 of us 40 somethings really enjoyed our stay! The house is cuter in person than the pictures! Awesome screened in porch and back deck space. Very clean and homey! We enjoyed shopping and the local restaurants. Very quick uber ride to the city center or doable walk.
