Vacation Rental Home with 7 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, Private Beach, Pier, Lakefront and Rooftop Decks & Gorgeous Views. Sleeps 18
The Watersedge of Lake Geneva is a fun waterfront home with spectacular lake views, breathtaking sunsets and is truly a one-of-a-kind experience! It's within walking distance to three restaurants and bars, too!
The home has over 3,500 square feet of fun that includes six indoor gathering places, 7 bedrooms (most with sitting areas too), a lakefront deck, a stunning rooftop deck, a private yard, private beach and a large private pier where you can park your boat(s).
The home is located on the south shores of Lake Como in Lake Geneva which is a quiet, non-crowded lake that is approximately 11 feet at its deepest. It's the perfect lake for swimming, tubing, boating, waterskiing, fishing and more.
The house was built in the 1880's and was used by notorious Chicago gangsters in the 20's and 30's because of its secluded lakefront location and close proximity to the city. This house has been referenced in many biographies including those of Baby Face Nelson, John Dillinger and George "Bugs" Moran.
While the home has been updated throughout and offers all the modern amenities you'd expect from an upscale vacation rental, it's maintained it's historic charm. Relics from its past can still be seen in the home today. The counting room, where money from local bootlegging and gambling operations was securely counted has been converted into a beautiful bedroom suite with a private bath. The original counting table is now in the kitchen and is large enough to seat 16 people.
The home features 7 bedrooms, 4 full baths and sleeps up to 18 people. It has a great floor plan spread out on two floors and is perfect for families with kids as well as adult groups of friends and family.
There are three first floor bedrooms and four second floor bedrooms. We have a pack and play and high chair available, if needed. There's so many places to gather both in large groups and in small.
There's a beautiful parlor with a gorgeous lake view that leads out to the lakefront deck. It's a great place to relax and soak in the lake scene. The parlor opens to a game room that is complete with darts, a large shuffleboard table, game table and a huge supply of board games, cards, dice, etc. It's the perfect place for kids to escape, and adults too!
There's a fully stocked and updated eat-in kitchen on the first floor. It is completely modern with brand new granite countertops, new stainless steel appliances and everything you'd need to prepare a meal with your friends and family. From dishes and pots and pans, to blender and crock pot... we have it all there for you! Sixteen people can sit at the table and there's room for two more at the breakfast bar adjacent to the table. There's also a sitting area with a television in the kitchen, as well.
There are three bedrooms on the first floor including the Counting Room Suite with a king bed and private bathroom, another bedroom with two twin beds and another with a king bed. There's also another full bath and a laundry area with full size washer and dryer on the first floor.
The kitchen and parlor are also on the first floor and open up to a large deck with plenty of seating and a gas bbq grill. We supply the propane so you'll only need to bring the fixings! The lakeside deck has a stairway down to the fenced yard with two large picnic tables and colorful retro yard chairs. It also provides access to your private beach and large "L'" shaped pier. Feel free to bring along your boat, jet ski, kayak, canoe or sailboat to use while staying at the Watersedge. If you'd like to arrange a rental of a boat, let us direct you to a local marina which will deliver a rental boat to the Municipal pier at the end of our block and you can drive it to the Watersedge home pier for use during your stay. The piers are typically in the water from April-October, depending on the weather.
The house continues to the second floor through a foyer with black and white plaid walls, original wood doors (kept in their natural raw state), and a red cobblestone brick floor as a tribute to it's homes history.
At the top of the staircase is a cozy reading loft. There's a large selection of books and a nook to sit back and soak in all the history.

There's plenty of seating outdoors along with a pergola to provide some shade and it's here you will find the most beautiful lake views you can image! The home overlooks Geneva National Golf Course and it's three championship courses across the lake so the view is second to none!
The second floor also has a large family room to gather and it has a wet bar with microwave, refrigerator and a Keurig coffee maker. There's a large floor to ceiling picture window overlooking the lake that gives you the feel that you are literally on the watersedge!

They host the infamous Bash on the Bayou every Sunday afternoon in the summer with live entertainment on the multi level lakeside deck and it's the place to be for everyone in the area! They also have live entertainment (most small groups or solo acoustic players) on weekend nights in their bar, Two Brothers Lounge. The Mars Resort and Piano bar is about 10 houses away and is one of the most popular places in town. They have a great Friday Fish Fry, incredible burgers and sing-a-longs around the piano most weekend nights. In the summer months they have afternoon entertainment on many Saturday afternoons on their lakeside deck.
The Ridge Hotel has an incredible restaurant, Crafted Americana and Bar 55 on the Veranda (with a giant fire pit) that are just up the hill on Hwy 50. They serve great food and offer entertainment on most weekends. You'll enjoy being able to walk to all these restaurants and lounges without ever having to start your car!
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, have ice fishing on the lake, great cross-country skiing, ice skating and sledding less than a block away.
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!
