About

Featured in "At The Lake" Magazine in 2022! Enjoy the Northwoods of Lake Geneva! Just a 2-minute drive to Pier 290, Williams Bay public beach on Geneva Lake, lakefront park, boat launch and restaurants. 10 minutes to downtown Lake Geneva. 20 minutes to Alpine Valley. Enjoy Lake Geneva life while being tucked in the woods with a roaring fire in your cozy log cabin.

Good to know

You'll feel like you've entered the Northwoods when you pull down the drive to our quaint log cabin tucked under towering pines. Play at the lake all day, explore the Geneva Lake area, and then come home to grill out, dine alfresco, and take in nights illuminated by crackling fires, fireflies and a million stars. This charming log cabin is flooded with natural light, good vibes, and a warm, welcoming personality. Imagine waking up from a peaceful sleep, to brew some coffee, and head out to the deck. Inhale a deep breath of the clean air, listen to the cheerful morning birds, and contemplate how you will seize the day. There are two bedrooms - one main floor with a king bed, and one in loft bedroom with a queen bed, twin bed and twin trundle bed. The kitchen and main floor open up to an expansive deck sheltered by the woods. The two-story great room is equipped with a large smart TV with cable, a roaring fireplace and plenty of space. The front of the chalet has another deck overlooking the tall pines and fire pit. Enjoy the private yard and fenced in dog run. The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking essentials, a Keurig single brewer and drip coffee pot. Deck includes a propane grill. Whip up a great meal in the fully equipped kitchen or dine out at any of the area's notorious restaurants just a few minutes away. After dinner, settle for s'mores by the firepit. Stargazers will love the dark skies and be able to spot every constellation. Go for a trek on the hiking trails in the area, the 22-mile lakefront trail or Kishwauketoe Nature Conservancy just down the road.

Tucked beneath whispering pines and wrapped in the quiet hush of the lake, this log cabin retreat was pure magic. From the moment we arrived, the rustic charm wrapped around us like a flannel blanket—warm, comforting, and timeless. The cabin was spotless, thoughtfully maintained, and had just enough creak in the floorboards to remind you it had stories of its own. Mornings were slow and golden, coffee steaming as the sun danced on the water. The first day, a flock of wild turkeys wandered by like some ancient welcoming committee. On our last, a pair of deer watched us from the tree line—silent, curious, and strangely fitting for a farewell. It’s the kind of place that invites stillness, that gives you back your breath. Perfect for getting away, for remembering what silence sounds like, or just for sitting still long enough to notice how the wind moves through the trees. A rare kind of peace.

We brought our two labs with us to celebrate our 28th anniversary at the Chalet! The pups felt right at home and enjoyed playing frisbee in the front yard, playing sticks around the campfire and hanging out on the wonderful back deck. After a full day of hikes, good eats from the grill and play, they enjoyed the most comfortable bed. Thank you for being pet friendly. We all loved your home!

We had a great stay at Holly's place! The yard was great for dogs and toddlers alike and we felt right at home! Can't wait to hopefully head back again next year!

We had a great stay at The Bay Chalet!! It was exactly what we were looking for - a cozy few days away! This home is clearly loved and cherished, and we felt right at home. The cottage had everything we needed for two adults, a baby and our dogs. Perfect space for a family! We enjoyed the fireplace and quiet surroundings every night. Holly left a great list of local establishments to try. Thanks again, Holly & family!

Great stay. Very easy check-in and instructions. Convenient location, so close to Williams Bay and short drive to downtown Geneva. Property and cabin was great. The fenced in portion was great for the dog.

Staying at Holly’s place was everything we had hoped for and more! My husband, our two sons, and our dog ALL LOVED our short “escape” away after the hustle and bustle of Christmas. The decorations at Holly’s place were beautiful and made it so special. Each detail really made it perfect. Whether it was the games that we played (especially the “vintage” ones!), the fireplace that we enjoyed, the hot cocoa bar, or the record player which my teenagers were absolutely obsessed with (!!!)… Each of these things made for a heartwarming getaway filled with laughter, togetherness, and relaxation! Holly’s recommendations for “hot spots” in the area were great, and although everything was close by, we still loved the privacy that the location of the home provided. We will definitely be returning. Thank you so much, Holly!!!! ♥️

Holly's place has been a bucket list stay for quite some time for our family. A saved treasure that we made happen over the holiday. It was the perfect cozy location for relaxing, celebrating and feeling right at home. During our stay the Keurig coffee maker wasn't working. Despite having a drip coffee pot available for us to use, Holly brought us a new Keurig within a day. It was so nice to have a personalized host that was ready for anything. The cabin was beautifully decorated for the holiday and just as pictured in the listing. We are hopeful to return during the summer months sometime soon!

I absolutely loved my stay here and want to come back! I stayed with a small group for a few nights to ring in the new year and Holly kept all the Christmas decorations up, which made the cabin even more cozy. Holy does a great job at providing the essentials and she was super responsive with my questions during my stay. Highly recommend!

We had a really great time. We loved how quiet and tucked away it was, but that stores and resources were still accessible. It was great having the option to bring our dog along too - many places don't allow that. Overall, the chalet was cozy, clean and our family enjoyed spending time playing with all of the board games next to the fireplace.
