Relax on a Lake Geneva Lodge

At only 90 minutes you can be transported away from the bustle of urban Chicago, or one hour from the bustling Milwaukee, to a quiet little town on a lake with a feeling that you just went through a time warp 100 years ago. Lake Geneva in Wisconsin has maintained the attitude that brought villagers to the area to stay in a Lake Geneva lodge from the early 20 century until today. 

After the Civil War, Chicago is an industrial mecca, and many wealthy industrialists and their families traveled by train or horse and buggy to enjoy their homes (mansions really) on the shores of beautiful Lake Geneva. The sleepy little mill town began to flourish also take advantage of the abundant hydropower and realized its potential as a tourist destination. Living in a Lake Geneva lodge was so funny that business people would pack their families out for the summer and commute the 90 minutes a day by train. 

Some summer palaces was Lake Geneva lodge and will take into account the well-to-do from the cities, with excellent services, sumptuous meals, comfortable rooms and suites, and snobbish entertainment for the whole family. The first summer palace by Lake Geneva, The Oaks, was built by Dr. Maxwell, a wealthy Chicago surgeon just before the Civil War. It later became a lodge that was used by prominent people, including Ronald Reagan and his wife-to-be, Nancy Davis.
