What a great place for a family get away. We had 10 in the group and there were plenty of spaces to enjoy. We spent a lot of time on the screened in porch for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Fully equipped kitchen. Close to both beach and pool. The owner was very responsive and easy to work with. Would stay again.

This rental was fantastic! The owner was very responsive and helpful before, during, and after our stay with any questions we had. The home was larger than I expected from the pictures. There was room to spare even with our group of 8. There was easy access to the Lake Geneva area and this location had plenty of amenities! Will definitely book again in the future for the Lake Geneva area!

The owner does a great job communicating. The papers are laminated with expectations. The owner does not expect the guests to do the cleaning, as many do.
Overall, Abbey Springs is very nice, and we recommend it for families or groups.

Guys golf trip to Lake Geneva for a 3rd straight year. House was good size for 8 of us. Conveniently located near the Abbey Springs Resort amenities. House was clean and had all the necessary supplies for our 3 night stay. Nothing fancy, but decor fits in with the Wisconsin lake vibe. We would stay there again. Karl was easy to work with.

We spent an amazing 4 days at this lovely property! The house is spacious but still cozy and easily accommodated 4 adults, an energetic 6 year old and 2 dogs, with room to spare. The big kitchen was the perfect location for our fun group meals and games with a cozy counter/breakfast bar and large dining areas. The bedrooms were lovely and the beds were very comfortable, the living room was great for relaxing and hanging out. We had a blast playing ping pong and pool in the basement and we made full use of the Abby Springs clubhouse- great bar and restaurant and huge indoor pool and hot tub! We had everything we needed for a fantastic long weekend in a place as clean as any hotel but with the comfort of home! Our visit in late winter/early spring led to a lot of FUN indoor time (due to rain/snow), I can only imagine how great the summer months are during boating and beach season! We will definitely be back to find out!!

It was a girl's weekend and a dream weekend it was. There were only 3 of us so the house, of course, was like a castle to us. It was super clean and the kitchen was well equipped (except for a chef). Every room had its own character. It would be a great house for a family reunion. There are so many areas everyone can hang out in, all really nice. It was too cool for us to use the summer room but it was nice how we could look at how pretty it was from the family room.
The owners were wonderful and easy to communicate with throughout the weekend and even after. We lost a set of keys and they went out of the way to make sure the house was checked for them. Check in was super easy!
There is a guard house that you need to drive through and they are very thorough in making sure who can go thru. That made us (3 senior women) feel very secure.
We wouldn't hesitate in renting this house again.

Karl's place was perfect for our large family attending a wedding in the area. Many spaces to relax and visit, while enjoying nature views. Karl was immediately responsive and I hope to have a reason to return some day.

We couldn't have not been more pleased with the overall renting experience. Karl our host, communicated with me frequently through the entire process and gave me specific check in instructions and always promptly answered my questions. The house had everything available to us and there were signs to identify certain aspects of the house. If I could give 10 stars on everything I would.

Our family (three-generations, including two toddlers) had everything we needed at this property. The house is spacious, well-stocked, and very comfortable. We enjoyed the amenities - especially the beach and pool - during the day, and loved relaxing on the porch in the evening. We’d love to return.

What a fabulous home! My girlfriends and I reunioned there over a weekend, enjoying all the ample hanging and sleeping spaces and proximity/access to pool, beach, South Shore path and more. It was truly a perfect accommodation, with great communication with the owner. Highly recommend for a big group (just wish you more sunshine than we had!).

We had a great stay here recently. Our group of 8 ranged from young kids to grandma and everyone was comfortable and had plenty of room to spread out. A few of the rooms have had their furniture updated to more modern styles since the listing photos were taken and the master bedroom now has a king size bed. Between the huge eat in kitchen, screen porch, finished basement (the kids loved playing ping pong), and two living rooms, we were all able to find a quiet place to relax or meet in small or large groups with no trouble. The house was well maintained and we appreciated the owner labeling things he anticipated guests wanting to know - closets with extra bedding, beach towels, etc. The house is nicely decorated, but in a way that didn't require the parents to run around and frantically move a bunch of fragile knickknacks out of kid range. The kitchen is well stocked if you're planning to cook during your stay.
The area is beautiful, we enjoyed the woodsy vibes and we spotted deer, a variety of interesting birds, frogs, and fish on our stay. The beach is sandy but a little rocky (water shoes recommended) but a great size and depth for kids, and the walk from the house was short. We didn't make it to the clubhouse pools or restaurants but everything we did see was well maintained and staff were friendly. The owner was helpful and responsive when we had questions.

This house was perfect for a weekend stay combining two families (four adults, two college-age kids, two little kids). Four comfortable bedrooms with twin and bunk beds gave us all plenty of space. Big living room and family rooms, which was great for people to find their own space when they needed it. Convenient and well-stocked eat-in kitchen plus a dining room made it easy to prepare big family meals. Very comfortable. The host was very communicative and addressed our needs in a timely fashion.

Great property with communicative, professional and well-prepared owner. Property had everything we needed for a weekend away with our young children including access to a huge indoor pool. Looking forward to exploring more of the property and area amenities when the weather turns warmer.

Very nice property. Well equipped kitchen. Nice pool table/ping pong table. Lots of room. Made good use of the fireplace and pool in the club house. Surprised by all the stuff for my 18-month (highchair / play saucer / pack-n-play). Great location and lucky enough to have a big snowstorm for the winter retreat and visited by a family of deer on Sunday! Karl was a gracious and responsive host, and we will keep the property in mind for a fall getaway later this year.

We loved this house! It is a great place to stay. Our son got married at Abbey Springs, and we had 3 generations in the house. We had plenty of space for everyone. Plus, we noticed that the owners are making updates to the rooms. It is beautiful! You will enjoy staying here!!

What a great place!!
We rented this house for a wedding - a place for the girls to get ready and chill before the ceremony - This house provided ample space - a lot of extras you don't see normally in a VRBO - furnishings were great and the location was awesome. The owner was easy to communicate with and made for an easy in easy out situation!! We plan on renting again on my daughter's anniversary!! I highly recommend!

Home is perfect home away from home for family get together.
Great indoor and outdoor spaces with spacious and well-appointed kitchen. Wonderful location with resort recreation options for golf, swimming and nearby to Lake Geneva attractions.

Great Family Friendly Location
HOUSE
Great layout and design of property for our family of nine. (6 adults and three young children) Plenty of room to spread-out or gather throughout the day.
Some rooms recently redone.. Some areas in major need of updates ( master bedroom and ensuite as an example) Kitchen could use refreshing and knobs/pulls on doors would be helpful
Bedsheets and towels etc. are all in need of replacement. (Clean just near end of life).
COMPLEX Facilities
( Pool both outdoor and indoor) and Cafe were excellent and very close to the house. Golf course was closed for renovation so can't give review on that part of the complex. Playground etc. at the Lake were excellent, but please know that you CAN NOT park there with visitor pass so you will need to drop off any large loads or visitors with limited mobility and walk from the house.
