America's Little Switzerland
The City of Lake Geneva is located in southeastern Wisconsin, 10 miles north of the Illinois state line. Lake Geneva has been a resort community since just after the Civil War, when wealthy Chicago families began building summer homes there. Today, guests view the mansions aboard sightseeing cruises or along the famous 21-mile Shore Path surrounding the lake. Downtown Lake Geneva presents a lovely collection of chic boutiques, al fresco dining, chocolatiers, a cooking school, an artisan brewery and more. The Lake Geneva area is filled with golf resorts, spectacular spas, charming B&Bs, boutique shopping and fine dining experiences.
