Williams Bay Home by Yerkes with 3 En-Suites

The Space:
Welcome to your stunning modern farmhouse retreat in Williams Bay! Nestled in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood, this home offers a gorgeous blend of classic colors and modern furnishings, creating a warm and welcoming environment for your getaway.

The open-concept main floor is perfect for gathering. Relax on the plush leather sofa for a movie night on the smart TV. The living area flows seamlessly into a dining space with a rustic-chic wood table that seats six for shared meals.

The chef’s kitchen is fully equipped for your culinary adventures, showcasing stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, and sleek cabinetry. Start your day right with the dual drip and single-serve coffee maker before heading out to explore.

Step outside to enjoy the wraparound porch or gather around the backyard fire pit for cozy evenings under the stars. A charcoal BBQ grill is also available for your cookouts.

This home comfortably sleeps 8 guests across 3 private bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom:
• Bedroom 1 (Main Level): Queen bed, direct deck access, and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Our few days in Williams Bay was not long enough! The Milky Way home was just what we needed to relax and unwind. The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were comfortable, the home was very clean, and communication with the owner was excellent. I would highly recommend this home for any occasion! Thank you for a lovely home away from home!

Just fantastic. A really nice house, with all the details in design and amenities. Walkable to the observatory and close to lots of restaurants and bars. Even nicer than the pictures! Host was very kind and responsive.

We had a great stay at the Milky Way Cottage. The only downside was some traffic noise, especially at night. Hoping the Williams Bay water situation gets resolved quickly. Thankfully, it didn’t affect our enjoyment of the cottage. Everything we needed was provided in this very cute and very clean property. The host was in touch regularly throughout our stay. A nice personal touch!

This house was clean and exactly as advertised. The appliances were new and each bedroom is an ensuite with a bathroom. Easy to access and a beautiful lot. I cannot emphasize enough how clean this house is! If it's available, we will definitely stay again!

Lovely home in Williams Bay

The property was very nice and clean. The bathrooms were well provisioned and the bedrooms were quite comfortable. My sisters and I are in our 70's and it was a little challenging to navigate the steep stairs to the 2 upstairs bedrooms. This should probably be mentioned or pictured on the property description. It would have been nice if some basic coffee, creamer and sugar were provided as we had to rush to the store after we got there. Overall we did enjoy our stay.

Anniversary weekend

What a great stay. The house was awesome. Had everything and more. To our surprise we were right by Yerkes Observatory. Worth the short visit. Close to everything and just far enough out of town. Looking forward to going back.

Clean & Comfortable

As soon in as we opened the front door and stepped in this house we could tell it was extremely clean. The place is spotless, minimalistic (not cluttered), and feels new, which made us feel comfortable immediately.

Fantastic

Always wanted to stay in a farmhouse and Milky Way did not disappoint. Beautifully redone and just enough space for 8 people. Loved the wrap around porch. We spent the evening on the porch eating all the delicious vegetables and spreads we bought at the Pierce Farmers Market which was just up the road. My grandson’s loved the hay maze there.

The Perfect Get-A-Way!!!

We loved the property. It was brand new and had a wonderful layout with each bedroom having its own bathroom. Great yard, fire pit and wrap around deck. Location was convenient to downtown Lake Geneva. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and are already planning next year’s vacation!!! Highly recommend. 5 Stars!!!

Everything about this new renovation is well considered, well executed, and beautifully conceived. Some people are foodies. We are space and architecture snobs. And we enjoyed the house immensely. We recommend, and hope the Milky Way is available next summer when we return…and will be sure to sign up early for the opportunity. Thank you!

Wedding weekend

House was comfortable and clean. It's a bit noisy on main road ( how we live in rural area ) and the lawn mower and weed eater surprised us at 9:00 am on a Saturday. Our family was glad to have this place for family wedding weekend…
