Great stay!
My friends and I enjoyed a girls weekend here in mid-May. The location was perfect for easily walking around Lake Geneva. The upstairs bedrooms did get quite warm overnight.

Last minute reservation. Beautiful house! We had 8 which allowed everyone somewhere to sleep without sleeping in the same bed as someone. If you are sharing beds you can easily fit 10-12. Overall good experience, close to the downtown area, and nice home to stay at.
