Who We Are
Geneva Lakes Vacations has been setting the standard for amazing vacation rental experiences throughout the last 20+ years. As Geneva Lake’s premier vacation rental company, we offer a seamless experience for both our guests and property owners.
We are locally owned and operate out of our office in downtown Lake Geneva where you can visit and meet with our team. We take a hands-on “boots on the ground” approach to property management. Our team is committed to supporting both guests and owners and we are available 24/7.
Meet the Team
The full-time, local team behind every stay. Come say hello at 326 Center Street, we would love to meet you.
Samantha Strenger
Co-Owner / Managing Partner
Sam is the creator of Lake Geneva’s famous Main Street Glamping Loft (yes, you can rent it!) and co-owner of GLV. Sam oversees all GLV operations and loves designing one-of-a-kind rental spaces for guests to enjoy. She owns a portfolio of rental properties, and has many years of management under her belt, which makes her a valuable resource for property owners considering a rental opportunity. She loves that her team members collaborate to handle anything that comes their way!
When she’s not working, you can find her playing golf, anchored in the middle of the lake, or hiking along the shore path. She enjoys the busy summer season, but appreciates the transition between summer and fall, when the hustle and bustle slows and she can be outside enjoying the weather. Sam recommends Brunch at the Getaway on Lake Como, and Friday Night Fish Fry at Mars or Hawks View. Don’t forget the cheese curds from Flat Iron Tap!
Tom Keefe
Co-Owner
As a life-long resident of the area, Tom loves working with other business owners and locals to create unforgettable guest experiences. Tom spent many years with Keefe Vacation Rentals before partnering with Sam to establish Geneva Lakes Vacations. Tom is a member of the Visit Lake Geneva Board, highlighting his appreciation for the area, visitors, and local businesses. When asked what he loves most about GLV, he’s proud that GLV creates an avenue that allows families to continue ownership of multigenerational properties by renting them out part time, and still allowing them the enjoyment of ownership whenever they want.
Tom lives in Williams Bay with his wife, Kat, and their twin daughters. They love to ski in the winter and enjoy the lake life year round. Tom loves the energy of summertime, but also treasures the new growth of spring. There’s nothing quite like spring after a Wisconsin winter! Tom recommends Larducci’s, Next Door Pub, and Little Bar for pizza, and Sopra, Holi Cannoli, Jonathan’s, Fire2Fork, Sabai Sabai and Cafe Calamari for date night.
Hollee Riggio
Reservations Manager
Hollee leads our reservations team and is often the first person guests talk to when planning a stay. From the first inquiry to check-in day, she makes sure every booking is smooth, every question is answered, and every guest is matched with the property that fits their getaway perfectly. Her warm, detail-minded approach sets the tone for the entire guest experience.
Melissa Allen
Housekeeping Supervisor
Helping others has always been at the core of Melissa’s work. In 2023, she founded Maid to the Rescue as a way to support families from her medical caseload who needed extra help at home. What began as a part-time passion quickly grew into a full-time calling, leading her to transition out of the medical field and fully into hospitality.
Her path eventually brought her to GLV, where she started as a cleaner and quickly became a valued part of the team. Today, she proudly serves as Housekeeping Supervisor. Melissa finds true joy in creating clean, welcoming spaces that elevate every guest stay. She’s thrilled to be part of a fast-growing, fun, and dedicated company that cares deeply about its people and the guest experience.
Kim Yopp
Owner Success Manager
Kim comes to GLV with a lifetime of local hospitality experience. Prior to GLV, she worked at the famous Maxwell Mansion, Delavan Lake Resort, Keefe Vacation Rentals, The Abbey Resort and Geneva Inn. She currently spends her days making sure our property owners have great success with GLV. She ensures all questions and concerns are answered and resolved.
Kim loves the live music scene during the summer, along with outdoor dining, and walking the lake path. She loves entertaining at her home with bonfires, music and fun. Kim wants everyone to try Mars Resort during the summer for the yummy food, outdoor dining and live music!
Cindy Woodward
Owner Success Manager
Cindy works hand in hand with our property owners as Owner Success Manager. She is the owner’s advocate inside GLV, keeping communication clear, answering questions quickly, and making sure every home in our portfolio gets the care and attention it deserves. With a genuine love for the Lake Geneva community and the people in it, Cindy makes owning a vacation rental with GLV feel like a true partnership.
Emily Adams
Director of Guest Services
With a background in freelance marketing and entrepreneurship, Emily brings a creative, relationship-driven approach to the GLV team. A lifelong local, she has a knack for uncovering Lake Geneva’s lesser-known treasures – the quiet trails, tucked-away coffee spots, and local favorites that don’t always make the guidebooks. After years of helping brands grow from the ground up, developing the GLV Concierge Program was an exciting and inspiring opportunity that she couldn’t turn down.
Annamarie Platt-Miller
Property Acquisitions Manager
Annamarie brings over 20 years of real estate experience to her role as Property Acquisitions Manager at Geneva Lakes Vacations. Known for her talent in relationship-building and data-driven decision making, she specializes in identifying properties that deliver exceptional guest experiences while supporting the goals of our property owners. Her unique ability to balance market analytics with authentic personal connections makes her a trusted resource for property owners and investors alike.
Annamarie has a deep appreciation for different cultures and communities, having opened her home to seven high school exchange students over the years. Those experiences have built lasting friendships and a global perspective that she brings to her professional and personal life. She is also actively involved in local government and community service, always seeking ways to strengthen the neighborhoods she loves.
When she’s not scouting new properties or analyzing market trends, you’ll likely find Annamarie enjoying live music at local venues and festivals – a favorite pastime that perfectly blends her love for people, stories, and memorable experiences.
