A one-night getaway provides travelers all the psychic relief of a full-blown vacation but is brief enough to prevent squatters from reupholstering the furniture in magenta corduroy. Fend off home-invading interior designers with today's Groupon: for $95, you get a one-night stay in a Landview room at The Geneva Inn in Lake Geneva (up to a $205.73 value). A boutique hotel on the shore of Lake Geneva, The Geneva Inn offers luxurious rooms and a beautiful setting. Depending on availability, Landview rooms may feature a balcony as well as a king-size bed or two queen-size beds—unlike less luxurious hotels, which often feature nothing but knave-size hammocks. Visitors also receive a weekday newspaper, a continental buffet breakfast, WiFi-saturated air, a sterling view, and easy access to a 21-mile lake walking path. A courtesy shuttle can also transport guests into the town of Lake Geneva, where they can shop, dine, or mime the actions of shopping and dining for bemused strangers. Rooms can be upgraded for an additional fee.

• Guests can thaw in the cozy atrium or retreat to their room for a soak in a roomy tub or a whirlpool. […] On almost any evening, horse-drawn carriage rides are a romantic way to end the day. – Mary Bergin, Chicago Tribune
• Everyone in the hotel was friendly and helpful, gave us all kinds of info on the area, what to do. – GigiSP, TripAdvisor
