Historic lakefront inn and family ice house/cottage located three blocks from downtown Lake Geneva Wisconsin on the lake shore path. This is a dog friendly inn with private accomodations. Built in 1842 in a quiet estate setting, within walking distance of downtown -- but not in the downtown. Separate family/group accomodations are in the cottage. ...
I took my girlfriend to the inn for Valentines Day. We stayed in the Rose Room and were both very happy. Everything was clean. The place was decorated in beautiful antiques. Despite having a lake-view room in the middle of winter, the enclosed gas fire place kept us plenty warm.
Gary, the owner, is a really nice man. He was very helpful in planning our trip. He adopted a hound from a shelter during our stay. The thing is a beast, but has a heart of gold and was very sweet and gentle to another guest's small dog. On that subject, be aware that this is a very dog friendly establishment and it is likely that there will be a few there during your stay.
A complimentary breakfast is offered, but as Gary will tell you, it is very small. Generally it is coffee, juice and a small snack. One morning we had a short stack. Another we had a cresent roll with homemade jam. It was all very good, but now very much.
One last thing to be aware of is that I would not recommend staying in the Veranda Room. It's right next to the front doors. The doors are impossible to close quietly. From the old builing shifting the door gets stuck as its about to close. The necessary force required to shut the thing always results in a slam.
