3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, Sleeps 6

2509 ROCKFORD COLONY RENTAL LLC

-- Check CALENDAR tab for available dates. -- Wi-Fi Available !

This 4 season Lake Home on the shores of beautiful Delavan Lake offers a peaceful & quiet getaway any time of year. Nestled off of North Shore Dr. in an area of 100 Year Old Oaks, this completely remodeled Victorian Single Family Home is one of the earliest homes on Delavan Lake.

The home features a huge wrap around porch completely surrounded by floor to ceiling glass sliding patio doors that offers both open air breezes from the lake front & enclosed comfort for the evenings & cooler days. The Home is tastefully decorated with antiques & features all wood pine floors. Enjoy 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, & a closeable Den for sleeping up to 6. Enjoy Central A/C and heat year round.

You will enter the home through double doors and inside you will find an open ceiling format with natural pine wood floors. In the 'Parlor' there is a vintage masonry fireplace with a recently installed electronic gas log starter. It is exceptionally easy to start and great to enjoy, even from the front porch. The front Living Room is open to the Dining area which is open to the newly remodeled Kitchen. All appliances in the kitchen are stainless steel and brand new. Enjoy cooking on the marble counter tops while enjoying a view of the lake. You can also cook on the provided gas grill in the back yard. The dining room features a new solid wood table that seats up to 6 people. Connecting through both the Living Room and the Kitchen stairwell is a Den that also features a full bathroom with Shower. You can enjoy a movie on the Flat Screen TV and then have sleeping quarters for an additional guest as the room has two closing doors.

You will be comfortable year round with gas heat/central air conditioning and water softener. You also will enjoy the unique quiet surroundings of the neighborhood as there are no cars on the adjacent properties to awaken you. A full size futon/couch provides comfortable seating in the open air of the enclosed porch. On the other side is a dining set to enjoy meals while also enjoying views of the boats on the lake or to keep a watchful eye on the children playing in the front lawn. Assigned parking (maximum 3 cars) is available a short distance across the street in a designated parking lot.

You can arrange through the neighborhood marina (Delavan Lake Marina, telephone 262-728-5540), which is just a one minute walk from our home, for 'in and out' privileges (they launch your boat or wave runner and then trailer it at the end of your day) at a very reasonable additional cost and they also rent pontoon boats. A Boat Launch is also available at nearby Lake Lawn Resort or the Delavan Lake Public Boat launch. Boating or Personal Watercraft drop offs can be made there. Please note that while we are lakefront and have a gorgeous view, we do not have a public pier or public access to the water. There are two great public beaches in Williams Bay or Fontana which are a 13-15 minute drive. Also, boat docking and drop offs are not allowed on any adjacent private docks or piers by law.

Subtle porch lighting provides a relaxing mood when the sun goes down and the time is right to enjoy conversation and drinks with the neighbors in the area who often enjoy the lake front around a blazing fire pit. You can also enjoy your very own fire with the provided front yard fire pit, where you can hear the water rushing onto the shore.

This property is located in a close community of other lake homes. We appreciate discretion with regard to loud noise. Please do not consider renting our home if you are planning a party. Smaller, more moderate family gatherings are the perfect match for our home and the neighborhood.

We are sorry but no pets or smoking are allowed on this property.

About Joe Aceto

My wife and I love to camp in our RV and while we were camping at nearby Lake Geneva, we took a 13 mile bike ride around Lake Delavan. We found ourselves so enamored with Lake Delavan that we started looking at homes to purchase. And, as they say, the rest is history!

Joe Aceto purchased this house in 2011
Why Joe Aceto chose Delavan

My wife and I fell in love with this charming Victorian lake home and purchased it as our 'get-away' home from Chicago. We love the stunning views, especially the sunrises over the lake. We also love the 'step-back-in-time' ambiance that you feel the moment you walk inside. No matter what the season, Lake Delavan is simply gorgeous. Plus, we can have those wonderful Wisconsin Friday Night fish fries!

This was a girls weekend getaway and the home is lovely...charming...comfortable. It had everything we needed. We spent most of our time on the beautifully decorated porch overlooking Lake Delavan. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone! Thank you for sharing your home with us.
Owner's Response: I'm glad you and your girlfriends had a good time at our home. I also spend most of my free time on our newly renovated and decorated porch and I never tire of the relaxing and mesmerizing lake view.

Peace, Comfort, and Perfection

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: May 21, 2013

From my first impression of Joe's accommodating, welcoming phone conversation to my last reluctant effort to leave, this weekend spent with my aging mother and sister on Mother's Day was exceptional. My vacations are spent around the country in homes listed on VRBO or Home Away and my experience in this beautiful, warm, "home away from home" was exemplary in comparison to many others. It is a testament to Joe and Bea's generosity of spirit that they would share such a beautifully furnished and decorated home with "strangers". Nothing was left to chance both in the comfort of the home and the amenities provided. It is obvious, from the quality of their home, that they care very much about it being much more than a second home or a source of income. It is a place to make memories - much like the memories that it has provided for them. I am grateful that my mother and "her girls" were able to spend time together in such a beautiful home, so cozy and yet so elegant, Thank you, Joe and Bea, for understanding the importance of family, the value of "home", and the willingness to share it with others.
Owner's Response: Karen, Bea and I were very touched by your heartfelt comments about us and our home as well as the wonderful time that you and your sister had with your Mom over Mother's Day weekend. We get immense satisfaction when we talk with our guests and they express, like you did, their happiness in being at our home and the relaxation that they are experiencing. Thank you for sharing your very personal observations regarding the time you spent in our home - it reinforced for us why we make our home available to those who we may not know: we want our guests to experience the peace and relaxation we feel every time we walk up to our home.

Beautiful home in picturesque location

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: May 13, 2013
  • Stayed: May 2013
My girlfriends and I recently stayed here for a long weekend away. The home is pristine - spotless, lovingly furnished, full of charm, and beautifully maintained. Our favorite features of the home were the gas fireplace and the large wraparound screened in porch. Between the two, we spent every night catching up and admiring the beautiful lake views. The owner, Joe, is very easy and pleasant to work with. He followed up with us after we arrived just to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. There is a Walmart, Piggly Wiggly, Starbucks and Panera Bread close by, and Lake Geneva is a short car ride away. We discovered many new, fun places, including:

- Staller Estate Winery for wine tasting
- Sorg's Quality Meats & Sausage for summer sausage and jerky
- Waterfront Pub & Eatery for Friday night fish fry
- Lake Geneva Pie Company for out of this world pie
- Simple for a delicious Sunday brunch
- Kilwin's for the the best homemade ice cream and fudge
- Cornerstone Shop & Gallery for a multitude of classy, unique home decor

Although the floorboards are loud/not insulated, it didn't bother us too much, as we were all more or less on the same schedule. All in all, it was a wonderful trip - the perfect mix of relaxation, sight seeing, and catching up with old friends. Having this lovely home to return to each night was definitely a highlight.
Owner's Response: Melissa, I really am happy that you and your girlfriends had such a good time staying at our home. I, too, have spent many a night enjoying the lake view from the wraparound porch and the glow of the gas fireplace. You and your friends really got out and tried many of the local restaurants, home decor and ice cream shops - your list of recommendations is the most comprehensive of any of our guests! I hope you can come back and stay at our home again.

Peaceful get-away

My friends and I needed a quiet and comfortable place to relax during our annual retreat. This house was a delightful treat. We particularly enjoyed the large porch and fireplace. It was a great place to get away from the city and recharge. Joe, the owner, was very responsive to our requests and made sure to check in to make sure we had everything we needed. The house has a great view of the lake and was quite beautiful with freshly fallen snow.
Owner's Response: Kendra, thank you for taking the time to write this review and I am happy that you and your friends enjoyed your retreat at our home. I appreciate you mentioning that I was responsive to your requests and that I checked in with you to ensure everything met your needs. I try to treat our guests in the same way that I would want to be treated and that means ensuring our home is spotlessly clean, meets your expectations and that you have a memorable vacation. You are right that our view is beautiful in the winter - in fact, I love the view in all four seasons! I hope you and your friends can visit us again.

My girlfriends and I wanted to go some place within a two hour drive from the north suburbs of Chicago that would be accommodating and fun. We found it here! Everything about the cottage was perfect--the beds were amazingly comfortable, the decor lovely, the lake view stunning. We cooked dinners in and ate breakfast and lunch in nearby Lake Geneva. The girls and I have decided we definitely want to return!

Owner's Response: Pam, it is surprising, in the cold Wisconsin winter, that our home can be so warm and inviting. I love the snow covered lake view, especially as the sun starts to set on the tree covered hills. Since we insulated the floor and ceiling of the porch, it gets surprisingly warm on the sunny winter days. When it gets a little too chilly, I head to the parlor and turn on the gas fireplace for instant warmth. I think that the winter view and ambience is every bit as relaxing as the summertime. I'm glad you and your friends had such a good time and thank you for taking such good care of our home. I hope you can come again with your girlfriends!
