Cozy Delavan Lake Hidden Gem - Quick Walk to Beach, Boat Launch & Park!

Welcome to Delavan Lake’s best kept secret!

Across the street from Delavan Lake, nestled within 4 wooded acres of Three Lakes Farm, lies a cozy hideaway called Pip's Cottage. Mornings here are spent sipping coffee & watching the sky turn from red to blue as it rises over the Eastern Prairie. Take a quick walk west for a day of swimming, boating & fishing. Or checkout the championship golf courses at Geneva National & Lake Lawn Lodge just 5 minutes away. Later, drive 8 minutes into Lake Geneva for shopping, some wine or craft beer & dinner. Or mosey up the road to Pearce’s Farm Stand for locally grown produce to throw on the grill. At dusk, stroll down the quiet lake street & watch the sky blaze with color as the setting sun slowly sinks into the lake. Then, do a little stargazing in front of the gas fire pit before heading off to bed.

Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, quiet retreat or family gathering, Pip's Cottage is perfectly located to enjoy everything the area has to offer.

While all of our guests have loved their time in Pip's Cottage, 2 adults or families with young children have had the coziest stay.

Wonderful weekend getaway!
Pip’s cottage was adorable and comfy, close to and easily accessible to all of the area’s amenities and Brian and Donna were so lovely and helpful. We came with our three little boys and couldn’t have had a nicer time. The cottage had everything we needed and beyond, they thought of everything! We didn’t have to worry about our boys being loud or wrecking things as the owners were so welcoming and laid back. That is not always the case! We would definitely go back. ❤️

Pip’s Cottage - The Perfect Little Getaway for a Family of Five
We really loved the personal touches in Pip’s Cottage for our family with 3 kids 9-13 years. If you’re looking for a small space near the woods—but still local—to gather the family for togetherness, this is your place. We were able to walk around and play football, hit two different ski resorts, went bowling at Delavan Lanes, and spent a night at the Ridge Hotel for swimming, the hot tub, sauna and menthol steam room one night too. It was a great trip! We rent a lot of homes and cook most of our meals while on vacation so not having a dishwasher was the least of our concerns during our stay as there’s a full fridge with freezer for all your food. The queen bed is immediately up the stairs from the living space, and twins mattresses are in the back room to loosely connect but work best separate. All these beds are OK to sleep on but only a sliding door divides the 2 rooms, but that was expected. Our children said the nook bed was amazingly comfortable and best for a hot sleeper. Also the box fans and extra blankets for sleeping were perfect for our family. The Christmas tree in the unit, special welcome snacks, lots of towels (bath/beach/swim), toiletries, drink tumblers, variety of appliances, full stove, and the care and cottage instructions provided by the cottage manager were great too. We visit this area often so we plan to come back again. Thank you, Bryan and Donna!

Perfect place for a getaway
My daughter and I stayed here for a long weekend where we planned to be fairly mellow - each good food, read, etc. This cabin is absolutely perfect! The owners have thoughtfully considered everything we needed - from a fully stocked kitchens, to Yeti mugs and 2 coffee maker options, to wonderful feeling bedding. This place is adorable. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a cute place for a getaway!

Amazing Place!
Getaway/birthday celebration! We had such a great time. Pip's Cottage just had that feeling, when you walked in the door, it felt like home. The cottage is full of character and the decorating is perfect. Extremely clean and everything that you could want or need was provided. Donna and Bryan were super nice and hospitable and we consider it to be one of the best places we have stayed at and we will be back! Thanks and Take Care!

Cozy Little Cottage
We had a great time during our stay at Pip's Cottage. The place was super cozy during our rainy weekend. We had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook with. There were lots of games and books to keep you busy when staying in. The outdoor space was great, wish the weather was better to enjoy it more. The hosts were amazing and extremely accommodating. They really went above and beyond to make sure we were having a good time.

Sunshine on a rainy day
My family of four traveled to Lake Geneva area for two days to vacation and unfortunately, it was cold and rainy both days. However, Pip’s Cottage and Donna and Bryan’s hospitality provided us plenty of sunshine during our stay. They left us all little treats to enjoy during our stay. The kids especially loved the Halloween surprises that were waiting for them!!!! The cottage was absolutely immaculate with no detail forgotten. We enjoyed playing the games and just cozying up in the living room. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay, we will be back when it’s a little warmer and sunnier.
