Had a wonderful time at The Cove of Lake Geneva. It's a wonderful place to relax and have fun. It's the most convenient place to stay in Lake Geneva. It has just about anything you could want and it's close to everything! everything you could want and is close to everything!

I visited here for work and really fell in love with the place. Take a stroll along the beach downtown and enjoy a bite to eat at one of the local restaurants. The water is crystal clear and very inviting. If you are in the area, this is worth a visit!

This lake is a favorite of ours for 35 years. You can take boat tours, rent boats, fish, swim at a beach, jet ski, rent a bike, walk around paths through old homes, or just sit and take in the lake. There are fine dining and casual restaurants. There are local shops and great activities. We live in Chicago and... More

Geneva Lake is the rather typical glacier-created lake. It does tend to get quite crowded in the summer and it does freeze solid enough in the winter that ice fishing on the lake is quite popular. Most of the beach areas charge for admission and, if you are not within walking distance of a beach, you will pay for parking... More

Nice in fall, a bit crowded in summer. Interesting to see where old Chicago money played/plays. Nice place to hike around the lake on the public access path in the fall with nice leaf colors against the background of the mansions and lake.

We love this lake for fishing and boating. I enjoy viewing all the homes and the great landscaping. My husband loves the fishing, boating, and he fishes all year long.

We went on a boat tour on the 1st of December, the last tour of the year. It is a very beautiful lake and the house (mansions) are wonder to see. The boat captain gives a great talk and history of all the places around the lake. We would love to see it during the summer.
