Delavan Lakefront Home with Private Pier, Sleeps 8

Welcome to Shanahan Shores on Delavan Lake! Our charming lake house offers 50 feet of level south shore frontage, making it the perfect spot for your family getaway. Just steps from the water, you'll enjoy breathtaking views and stunning sunsets. This three-bedroom, two-bathroom vacation rental has everything you need for a stress-free stay, especially if you're traveling with little ones. While the boat is not included, you'll love fishing or swimming off the private pier.

Primary Bedroom: Queen
Bedroom 2: 2 Twins
Bedroom 3: 1 full
Living Room: Sofa Sleeper

Maximum Occupancy: 8 Guests (No additional guests allowed on the property)

The Space
Our cozy lake house is thoughtfully equipped with family-friendly amenities, including two highchairs, a booster seat, a Pottery Barn crib, a changing table, step stool, potty seat, and a bath seat. Each bedroom features blackout curtains and a white noise machine for a restful night’s sleep. For water fun, we provide an "aqua lily pad" and inflatable rafts for swimming off the pier. In the evenings, gather around the lakeside fire pit to roast s'mores under the stars.

The outdoor space also includes a dining table and chairs, a Weber grill with a propane tank, and a gated deck to keep little explorers safe. The deck features a playhouse and kids' table. Inside, you'll find a cabinet stocked with games for family fun on rainy days.

Guest Access
Delavan Lake is a quick drive from the Chicagoland area, just under two hours from the city and western suburbs. The lake is perfect for fishing, boating, and relaxing, with a maximum depth of 52 feet. Please note that as the summer season progresses, lake grass grows and water clarity can be low.

For boat rentals and dining, we recommend Lake Lawn Lodge and The Inn Between. The Watershed bar/restaurant is within walking distance, while Fontana is just a 10-minute drive and Lake Geneva only 15 minutes away by car.

Other Things to Note
Parking is limited to TWO (2) tandem cars. There is no room for a boat trailer.
No smoking on the property.
No pets allowed.

After confirming your reservation, please provide your email address so we can send an electronic guest rental agreement.

Fantastic Lake Cottage!
We had a great time at this clean, cute, lake cottage. Pictures dont do the home justice - its better than it looks and we cant wait to come back next summer. -Great for 6+ adults or 1-2 families w/kids. -right on Lake Delavan with superb water frontage and huge pier. -we visited local spots on foot: Watershed Saloon was great while The Shore (convenience store and bar!) was fantastic.

Perfect little getaway!
We had such a great time during our stay at this property. Everything was very clean and the lake was awesome. There are such beautiful views of the lake from the house. It is close to downtown Lake Geneva. The property owners were absolutely wonderful to work with. They responded in a timely manner and even let us check-in early. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet little getaway.

So much fun!
This was a great vacation home for our two young children! It has everything you need-sound machines, high chairs, boosters, toys! My boys had a blast. It’s located a bit further from lake Geneva-about 15-20 minutes but less than 10 minutes from Fontana and Williams Bay which is beautiful and significantly less crowded. A great place to stay with littles!

The Perfect Family Cottage - especially for babies!
We loved this property! My husband and I, our adult daughter, son, DIL and 19 month old grandson spent nine nights at this perfect cottage in Delavan Lake, Wisconsin. The home is immaculate and very thoughtfully provisioned. Chargers in outlets, white noise machines and blackout curtains and hangars in bedrooms, enough toilet paper, paper towels, laundry and dishwasher pods, k cups, etc., to get you started. (You’ll need to bring shower soap and shampoo.) The decor is the perfect lake vibe. Blues and whites and natural fabrics. Lots of comfy places to sit and lounge, both inside and out. We had a 19 month old with us and the place was perfect for him! There’s a crib, changing table, and high chair inside, along with a booster seat, tub seat, potty seat, and even a step stool for the bathroom! Best of all, there were tons of high quality toys. Our grandson played in the outside “house” every day, and spent happy hours on the deck building Lego towers and driving around a truck. There were also games for the adults. A great set up. The large deck was wonderful. A terrific propane grill, a huge table and comfy chairs, with a large articulating umbrella to provide shade for the hours when the direction of the sun didn’t. Plus it is gated, so little ones can’t get out! The yard is large and beautiful. Sunsets every night were gorgeous, either from the deck or hammock or from hanging around the fire pit before roasting s’mores. The dock was great, too. The lake at this time of year is pretty grassy v6 the shore, so not good swimming, but twice we rented a pontoon boat from the marina across the lake, and drove it over to the dock to pick up the family. There’s a large lily pad kept in the shed, that we put on the pontoon and hooked up to the boat and tossed over when we anchored in the middle of the lake. Nice kitchen, large refrigerator, toaster oven, microwave, oven, and a great LG washer/dryer tower help make the vacation a breeze. You can walk to a couple of small parks, and to a casual bar/restaurant with very decent food. Otherwise, driving into Delavan or Lake Geneva or Williams Bay was very easy. (Tip: set your Waze or Google Maps at the house before leaving; tough to get reception in some areas!) The owner was great. Wonderfully warm and immediately responsive. In summary, we can’t say enough good things about this rental. I’d rent it again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to others!

Beautiful week at Delavn Lake
Rental process was very easy. There were no issues with the property, Any questions the host communicated almost instantaneously via text or phone. Fire ring was a wonderfully relaxing time in the evenings, and catching bluegill off the dock was great fun.
