About this property
Bayside Hideaway, Williams Bay, WI
Located near Geneva Lake, you're just a 15-minute walk from the beach and moments from historic local treasures. Take a tour of the famous Yerkes Observatory—home to the world's largest refracting telescope—or walk the iconic Geneva Lake Shore Path to get an up-close look at stunning historic mansions.
Whether you're golfing at premier local courses, sampling fine dining and casual eateries around the lake, or seeking seasonal adventures, Lake Geneva has something for everyone year-round.
Welcome to Bayside Hideaway! Nestled in a quiet Williams Bay neighborhood, this charming, non-smoking cottage retreat—complete with a private hot tub—is the perfect escape for couples and small families. Start your mornings with coffee or tea on the porch, soak in the cozy getaway vibes, and enjoy the perfect blend of comfort and outdoor fun. Best of all, you’re just a short stroll from Williams Bay Beach, the Geneva Lake Shore Path, local parks, restaurants, and shops!
This enchanting, cozy, little cottage is tucked away on a secluded street in a quiet wooded residential neighborhood. Among its human residents, you will hear an abundance of migratory song birds and may see many woodland creatures roaming through the properties such as: Deer, wild turkeys, squirrels, chipmunks, and raccoons.
This neighborhood is very walkable, or bring a bicycle (car/motor cycle/vehicle access of course) with quiet streets that lead to the beach. Rent a kayak, paddle board or canoe for an hour or the day, stop in and check out the local shops, or the Green Grocer and deli where you can stop in and get a cup of coffee or your favorite beverage. Visit the local ice cream shop and various dining options.
This cottage has a staired front (1 step) and rear deck entry (7 steps total), spiral staircase and railed loft. This property is not child proof, so not ideal for families with small unattended children under the age of 5.

We had a wonderful stay. Everything was clean, well stocked, and a perfect location. We had a little trouble with the WiFi staying connected and we needed to work while visiting, but other than that, everything was 5 stars!
Charlotte was very responsive and flexible with our stay! We had a perfect weekend snowed in and enjoyed the hot tub. The home was very clean and decorated so beautifully! Definitely recommend visiting any time of year!
We loved the hot tub and used it every night. The upstairs rooms were okay, but the doorways were really low, so a bit difficult to get through for some. Would stay again.
We had a wonderful stay over New Years. The house is very clean, well appointed. The hot tub and comfy living room was a great touch. The home is in a perfect location for walking to Williams Bay or a quick drive to Lake Geneva for amazing restaurants. Charlotte is very attentive to her renters with great communications. Highly recommend!
Bayside Hideaway is a charming cottage in a quiet location hosted by a very responsive host, Charlotte. I was there for an extended visit and got to know the place well. The furnishings are well selected and very comfortable, especially the beds. It's an easy walk to the center of the Village of Williams Bay and to the beach. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.
We absolutely love Bayside Hideaway. There is so much about this place we love:
Cleanliness, amenities, plush towels, comfortable beds, decor, very clear instructions throughout the house, and the owner’s responsiveness before and during our stay. The location is quiet and close to everything. The outside is peaceful and the hot tub was wonderful. We hope to be back again soon!
Charlotte’s home was cozy, comfy and well appointed - a perfect home base for our first time exploring Lake Geneva/Williams Bay. Charlotte was so helpful in planning our outings - tons of great info in the guest binder AND she went above and beyond with additional info for us. The hot tub was easy to use and oh so relaxing. 100% will book again!
This property was just as hoped for! Exceptionally clean and cozy with ease of check in and thorough and readily accessible instructions for use of all amenities. The hot tub was nice and very easy to use. The kitchen fully stocked with all needed cooking implements. The bed very comfortable. Host Charlotte was responsive to questions, friendly, and you can tell that the property is a labor of love for her. Would definitely recommend to others and stay there again!
We really enjoyed our time at your very charming cottage. Spending more time indoors during those two hot days we had we enjoyed cooled by your great air conditioner. It was a delightful retreat with all the trees and flowers visible from the many windows and comfy chairs. The days we spent on the deck with our dinner or just relaxing and reading are still in my mind as a perfect place to be. We both said we haven’t slept that well in a long time or relaxed like that for that matter.
We hope to visit you again soon. Thank you.
Such a lovely place to stay, just out of reach to the crazy that can be Downtown Lake Geneva, but close enough to enjoy. Very clean, very organized and would recommend this place for any type of stay.
Bayside Hideaway was just perfect for our sisters getaway! It was close to everything we wanted to do and was was nice and quite when we wanted away from the all the excitement of Lake Geneva.
It was the perfect location and house for a girls weekend away. The owner was very responsive and anticipated every question I had before I even knew I had the question. Highly recommend.
We had a great time at this house for our 13th anniversary. Everything was great. The house was exactly like the photos. We would definitely stay here again.
