Top Lake Geneva Resorts

We’ve heard the scoffs and stereotypes. You ask how could there be one luxury resort in the land of Cheeseheads, much less 10. Put images of yellow and green painted, dairy wedge-wearing fans from your mind and make room for the serene waters of Lake Geneva. This Southeast Wisconsin region boasts not only the 5,500-acre lake, but a vast selection of resorts that are destinations in and of themselves. Of course, our mission was to compile these and present them in the form of our list of Top 10 Lake Geneva Resorts. So, while Lake Geneva comes between Madison and Milwaukee, its class and outdoor excursions set it apart in a sophisticated league of its own.

We had to blink a few times, but we’re sure of it. The Geneva Inn is the quintessential English inn with lavish modern luxuries. Historically known as the 1883 Gypsy Lodge that catered to Chicago businessmen, Geneva Inn has kept its class and expanded its clientele.

With our No. 7 pick’s lakeside locale, Geneva Inn easily becomes an island of opulence surrounded by natural beauty. Geneva Inn is no country bumpkin, however. You’ll quickly discover this for yourself when you step from the warm waters of your bath in an oversized vintage tub and into a plush bathrobe. Or when you indulge in a Wine Dinner comprised of five gourmet courses paired with exquisite wines. While staring out at Lake Geneva and Geneva Inn’s private marina from your balcony is breathtaking, the 21-mile lake path right outside the resort’s door is beckoning you to explore by foot or bike. Or, take the courtesy shuttle into town and explore numerous boutiques and galleries. No matter where you wander, the bedtime chocolates and morning breakfast buffet will bring you back.

Highlights

Geneva Inn offers seasonal packages sure to spark your interest. Inquisitive characters with a keen eye and a quick mind will enjoy the InnVestigation Murder Mystery Package. Detective work and delectable dishes go hand in hand on this WI weekend getaway!

Despite the fact our No. 9 pick shares the name of the hero from the movie, The Princess Bride, we did have other motivations behind our choice. Wesley Inn and Resort does sweep guests off their feet – but more because of its dazzling grounds and accommodations than the flash of a debonair smile.

With three acres of manicured lawns and colorful flowers, Wesley Inn and Resort puts you in tune with your surroundings. Stone benches beneath the shade of tree boughs and patios drenched in warm sunshine offer the discerning traveler sought-after respite. For resort-style living, the main complex offers spacious rooms with simple décor for a long weekend while eight quaint cottages strike the balance between your own private world and the convenience of the outside world. Speaking of balance, we feel that a well-balanced itinerary is just as important as finding the right room. For your Lake Geneva vacation at Wesley Inn we recommend a healthy dose of swimming in its heated outdoor pool, a sprinkling of city activities like carriage rides and museum browsing with a dash of aquatic adventures like sail boating or fishing.

You don’t need an Italian degree to understand that this Lake Geneva pick specializes in incorporating the surrounding scenery into its the walls, furnishings and service. But the degree might come in handy to literally translate Bella Vista into “beautiful views.”

We’ve already established that the Lake Geneva landscape is something to be inspired by, but the view keeps getting sweeter the further you explore Bella Vista Suites. While we definitely don’t mind seeing Seminary Park out of an appropriately named Park View Suite window, we just can’t get over the interior lay of the land in the Penthouse Suite. Cream walls envelop elegant furnishings, a fireplace and a two-person Jacuzzi tub, along with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. But even Bella Vista admits that to truly appreciate this unique region, you have to use your sea legs. The Lake Geneva Cruise Line makes this more than enjoyable with a champagne brunch on Sunday or a stompin’ good time with the Dixieland Dinner Cruise.

Address

335 Wrigley Dr., Lake Geneva, WI 53147

Highlights

Blow bubbles, kisses or both with your sweetie and the Bella Vista Bubbles and Kisses package. Spend a romantic night in luxe accommodations with champagne and a delicious treat. Soak in a bath with rose petals and bath salts and then wake up to breakfast in bed.

If the first image that comes to your mind when we say “driver” is a silver club glinting in the sunlight instead of a bedraggled parent behind the wheel of a mini-van, Inns of Geneva National is for you. With three courses in an elite golfing community and cozy lodging, all you have to do is yell, “Fore!”

We’re not claiming to be bent-grass green experts, but we trust that Lee Trevino, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player knew what they were doing when they designed the three golf courses that have given Geneva National its prestigious reputation. Inns of Geneva National carries on this legend with 36 rooms stocked with all the comforts you'll need for a successful Lake Geneva getaway. Instead of stacking all 36 rooms into one high-rise, Inns of Geneva National placed six rooms in six inns. This means you'll have the attention and privacy of an intimate B&B but the amenities of a top notch hotel. After conquering bunkers and hazards, come back to your Inns room and cook dinner on your private veranda with a gas grill. Or, remember that birdie while relaxing in your whirlpool tub.

Address

1091 Hidden Cottage Cr., Lake Geneva, WI 53147

Getting there

Inns of Geneva National is simple to reach. From Chicago, take I-294 to I-94 North and then Hwy. 50 West. From Milwaukee, take I-43 West to Hwy. 67 South and then Hwy. 50 East.

Roofs of glass, bright green grass and spouting fountains of aquamarine water. Arriving at your summer villa in Italy was a good guess, but this is actually the welcoming features of our Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired No. 10 Lake Geneva Resort.
