Alpine Waters & Lakeside Serenity

A Victorian lakeside resort town on the shores of Geneva Lake with grand spas, paddle-wheel cruises, upscale restaurants, and an unhurried waterfront promenade lined with boutique shops and wine bars.

Taste small-batch wines and craft spirits while overlooking vineyard rows, then explore the tasting room's curated flight selections. Sip seasonal varietals and learn distilling techniques from knowledgeable staff in this intimate setting.

Explore the University of Chicago's historic Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay, home to the world's largest refracting telescope. The Romanesque Revival building and its 40-inch telescope dome are open for tours, offering a fascinating window into late 19th-century astronomical science on the shores of Geneva Lake.

Stroll the 21-mile Geneva Lake Shore Path, one of the oldest continuously used footpaths in Wisconsin. The lakeside walk winds past Victorian-era estates and gardens, with sweeping views of the shimmering lake and a relaxed pace that embodies the Lake Geneva spirit.

Wind down at the Abbey Springs lakefront on Fontana Bay, where you can walk peaceful shoreside trails, enjoy the marina views, and browse the resort's relaxed waterfront setting. The surrounding neighborhood of quiet roads and lake glimpses makes for a perfect leisurely afternoon stroll before heading home.
