Mill Pond, a delightful swimming area with a small beach and lifeguards, is just down the street.

    Please note that while our shoreline offers beautiful views and excellent fishing (UPDATE: LAKE COMUS HAS BEEN TEMPORARILY DRAINED AND FISHING IS NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL THE LAKE IS FILLED BACK IN, EXPECTED FALL 2025), it is rocky and unsuitable for swimming. For a refreshing swim, head to the managed Mill Pond nearby. Both bathrooms in the home are equipped with showers, but no bathtubs are available.

Great house with a great location

Our party of six had plenty of space here to enjoy the Lake Delavan attractions and the area of Lake Geneva nearby. The house was clean and tidy on our arrival and the host responded promptly to the questions we had. We could come here again!

Enjoyed our stay

We stayed 3 nights and really enjoyed this rental property. It's clean and well maintained, bed was comfortable, and it has a large, well-equipped kitchen. Large deck out back was a very pleasant place to sit and relax. Location is decent, a 5 min walk to all the Delavan main street stores, and half an hour drive to Lake Geneva. Can recommend.

Girls weekend getaway!

We rented with Tom at his wonderful cabin in Delevan! We had 9 girls and it was a blast. Tom was great at communicating with me before our trip and was also very attentive when I had questions during our stay. The view was beautiful and overall it was a great weekend!

Delavan

Our stay at this home was very lovely. The house was well kept and clean. The weather did not cooperate so we were unable to do any of the outdoor activities but there was plenty to do had it been nicer outside. I would definitely stay her again when in the area.

Visit to see daughter

Came to visit my daughter for her birthday. The house was really nice and clean. The beds were great. Bathrooms clean and updated. Kitchen nice and big. Plenty of couches to lounge and visit and watch movies. No complaints. I would recommend this property to anyone.

Alway Love Viewing A Lake

The house was very clean and communication with Tom was easy and quick. The outdoor deck is really large and a great place to sit and chat while enjoying the pretty view of the lake. The park just across the lake was a relaxing and peaceful place to fish. Our meals in town were very good. Our only sticky point was the bedrooms being upstairs, because we're all in our 60's and stairs are, unfortunately, often a challenge. We definitely enjoyed our trip in Delavan!

Best rental ever

This house was perfect, so nicely appointed! Plenty of room to spread out, we especially enjoyed the back deck overlooking the massive yard and lake, if had cooler weather we definitely would’ve been out playing bocce and sitting by the fire. The beds were all very comfortable, and had nice bedding. The kitchen is open and has everything needed. Downtown area is 2 blocks away with several good restaurants. Mill Pond is a 5 minute walk, cute little spot to swim, play in the sand and relax. The host was very communicative and a pleasure to work with. We stay in several rentals a year throughout the country and MX and this place gets a perfect 10 in our eyes.

Nice House but Outdoor Space Needs Work

This house was clean and very well stocked both with towels and kitchen supplies. We were happy with the location and the easy drive to Lake Geneva. Our host was easy to contact and handled our question immediately, But upon arrival, we were disappointed with the overgrown state of the yard, especially the front. We looked forward to the beautiful backyard but unfortunately the stairway access was so overgrown with vines we found it difficult to use.

Sometimes, pictures do lie.

Was excited to relax in the "beautiful lake view", only to find it was not as promised or pictured. The area was not what one might call "vacation-like" atmosphere. The view in the photo was nothing like the actual view from the house. Very disappointed.

Had a small reunion of college friends. This was excellent place for our group. Walking distance for most things easy to get to downtown with lots of things to do not too far from the lake. The town is very nice with lots of community activities.

The owner cancelled my reservation the day before I was to arrive. My friends and I were left scrambling to find a new place to stay less than 24 hours before leaving home. I am now in a fight with VRBO to refund my money. This was the WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! I do not recommend staying in Tom Brown's rentals.
