Guests can take a dip in the indoor pool and the kids can splash in the wading pool.

Lake Geneva, Wisconsin: Lakeside Mansions and Historical Museums

Located within 90 miles of Chicago, Milwaukee, and Madison, Lake Geneva has become one of the Midwest’s most popular destinations for recreation. Geneva Lake—a gaping gulf of fresh water ripe for swimming, leisurely sails, water skiing, and tubing—is the resort town’s biggest draw in the summer. Admire the scenery by taking a stroll on the Geneva Lake Shore Path, a 21-mile walkway planned by early settlers that stretches around the entire lake. Along the way, you’ll pass expansive gardens and the opulent estates that helped the town earn the nickname “Newport of the West.”

In the winter, outdoor activities range from sledding and cross-country skiing in Big Foot Beach State Park to ice-fishing on Geneva Lake. There's also plenty to do indoors, such as the Geneva Lake Museum, which takes visitors back in time with re-created late 19th- and early 20th-century shops.

Birthday celebration It started out wonderful and ended perfectly. Eric made sure to feel we were welcome and checked to see everything was fine. he was so kind and helpful in every way. He is an asset to the Abbey and when a friend asked where to go for a spa experience I said don’t even think of going anywhere else so word of mouth is the best advertising she thus made a reservation for her and her daughter the day after Easter and made 3 spa appointments . I am also coming back this Sunday and Monday.

Never again!! The Abbey will never see another penny of mine!! We have been coming to the Abbey for many years for our girls trips. We booked the Spa package . As we entered the Avani spa we were told there is no hot water and the whirlpool is is out of order, while disappointed we dealt with it. This is a health hazard as the masseuse could not properly clean hand in between clients. Once we were able to check in ( additional fee to check in early now) even though it is mid week and the hotel was not full! Once we got to our room , we were ready to take showers since the spa showers were not working. To our dismay, the hotel room had no hot water either!!! We tried to call the front desk and the room phone didn’t work!! The hotel only wants communication through text now. We finally got the front desk who swore they had no idea the whole building had no hot water!!! So we had to change rooms…. The property seems to be falling apart as I saw men knocking on guest room doors to repair things in addition to the workers trying to repair the boiler in the spa and building 7!, when we checked out we reminded them of our issues and again the clerk said they had no idea what was happening!! How can this be true??? We asked for some compensation and they took off the resort fee25.00 of a 500.00 package!!!! This is Easter week, I’m sure the hotel will be packed and the guests are in for a rude awakening!.

Couples Anniversary Weekend Hotel rooms were very clean and updated. Loved the high ceilings making the room feel large. The grounds were very nice and I’m sure in peak season it’s a busy place! Enjoyed the indoor hot tub and pool, which felt very clean as well. Would absolutely recommend and stay again.
