We had an amazing stay at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Elkhorn! The hotel was very clean,…read morewell-maintained, and definitely worth the money. The location was great and convenient for exploring the Lake Geneva area. From the moment we arrived, all the employees were friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which made the experience even better. The rooms were great, clean, and comfortable, and the beds were soooo comfortable! One thing I really loved was how many places there were to plug in phones and other electronic devices. There were USB ports and electrical outlets everywhere, making it super convenient to charge everything without having to search for an available outlet. This was such a thoughtful and convenient feature! The lighting in the room was also excellent! There were lights throughout the room, so you could easily turn on the lights wherever you needed them. It made the room feel comfortable and functional, and I really appreciated having plenty of lighting options. Although we didn't get a chance to use the pool, we did take a look at the pool area, and it was very clean and well-kept. It was nice to see that the hotel takes pride in maintaining its facilities. Overall, we were very happy with our stay. Between the cleanliness, super-comfortable beds, great lighting, convenient USB ports and electrical outlets, excellent location, and friendly staff, this hotel exceeded our expectations. It offered great value for the money, and we would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the Elkhorn or Lake Geneva area. We would definitely stay here again!

The customer service was excellent and definitely the highlight of my stay. The staff I interacted…read morewith were friendly, helpful, and professional. Unfortunately, there were a few things that kept this from being a higher-rated stay. The room wasn't the cleanest I've experienced at a Hampton Inn, and the housekeeping situation was noticeable. Each morning, I could hear housekeeping staff arguing over who had the most rooms to clean, which wasn't exactly the atmosphere you want to hear while staying at a hotel. I'd also recommend keeping an eye on the prices when purchasing items from the little market. I bought the same bag of chips on two different occasions and was charged two different prices. Overall, the excellent customer service was a bright spot, but the cleanliness, housekeeping professionalism, and inconsistent market pricing are areas that could use some attention.

We are both Hilton Members and were able to check in with ease online through their app getting our room key on my phone almost immediately.

Checking out of the hotel was easy and done through the app as well. Lastly, we will definitely stay here again!

I found Seven Oaks on Yelp when researching B&B's in Lake Geneva. The great reviews led us to book…read morethem for 3 nights and in hindsight we have no regrets choosing them as our winter destination. The only minor downsides are a lack of streaming options, no safe, a single key and the spotty Wi-Fi. Despite the inconveniences, don't let that deter you from coming here. The unique, personal and private experience makes up for it and here's why. The check in and check out process is easy. They don't have a front desk and check in/out requires no interaction with staff. Pulling into the facility, there are designated parking spaces based on the name of the cottage booked. As you approach your cottage, the front door has your last name written on these cute chalkboard hearts. We loved our accommodations. The amenities they provide are well thought out and I for one appreciate the details (big or small). Seven Oaks is a couples only facility with a majority of their updated cottages hosting large 1 bedroom suites with comfortable bedding, an en suite bathroom complete with a 2 person jet tub, Kohler standing showers with multiple shower heads, heated floors (perfect for winters), robes and heated towel racks. In addition to the hairdryer, they also keep cotton pads and Q-tips in the bathroom sink drawer if you forget to pack them. The nightstands in the bedroom have plenty of charging outlets too. The cottages are equipped with lots of drawer and closet space. The cozy living room has a fireplace, comfy sofa, and a TV. For nights in sans screen time, there are books and games in the drawers to keep you entertained. All kitchenettes have a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker providing a selection of coffee and teas. Utensils and cups are there if you need them as well. Complementary wine, crackers and a cheese plate (stored in the mini fridge) are provided on your first nights stay along with breakfast for the following morning. For multiple night stays, breakfast is brought out to you at your door around 10-11ish. Their complementary breakfasts are good but our absolute favorite is their ham and cheese quiche. Housekeeping did an excellent job refreshing our place when we requested it and they made the place look and smell spotless upon return. Seven Oaks is the perfect year-round getaway just minutes from Lake Geneva and most restaurants. Overall our stay was peaceful, quiet and made for a pleasant vacation.

Camp Wandawega is a flawlessly re-created 1950′s summer camp. At $250 a night (plus a $60 airbnb…read moreservice fee), you can step back in time. Located in Elkhorn, WI about 90 minutes from where I currently live, on the way there, I drove by the place I used to camp as a kid and by towns I have met my parents in to go antiquing. Where many of the sites on the way were well-known to me, pulling into the camp site was familiar because it was like driving to the set of Moonrise Kingdom. Really, it was like plopping into any Wes Anderson movie. I could very clearly imagine children with their names emblazoned on sleeping bags and wooden tennis rackets being used as swords by campers. When I first arrived, I was early (although the reservation said there was a flexible check-in time). The cleaning lady was arriving in two hours, so I read outside for a while of (what would be) my cabin. The breeze was nice and my book was distracting, but then I started paying attention to a couple who were dipping their feet into the lake at the end of the dock while eating oranges AND drinking orange juice (?!?). That is commitment to Vitamin C, if I ever saw one. Once I moved past my internal giggle at the scurvy-free couple, I glanced at my phone and saw that time had slowed to a crawl. How can a morning at home go so fast and an hour at camp go so slowly? It is like that scene in The Jerk where he says the first day seemed like a week. Camp Wandawega is quite quiet, except for the crazy chipmunks. Sometimes, you can hear the muted, but distinctive click of the flagpole outside. Often, I caught myself looking to see if the crinkle of leaves or branch breaking was a person, but it was almost always a chipmunk (or, not to be out done, squirrels). If the chipmunks weren't there or if flags didn't move, I would have thought I was frozen by some witch's autumn spell. Overall, it seemed like it shouldn't all be there- the details. It felt like it all should have been swept away in a flood or be permanently planted in someone's dream, not surviving as well-preserved as it all is. There is no internet that I could connect to. I didn't need air conditioning or heat, but they are a window cooling unit and a floor heater respectively; nothing major to protect you from the elements. You are here to be (at least, a little) outside. There is a rope swing and open-air showers. There are old bikes and bird houses. The traditional camp colors of burnt red, forest green, and stark white are everywhere. Uneven stairs and rocky hills force your attention even while you walk casually around. The camp was at one point a brothel. Well, it was a speak easy, a distribution center for organized crime, a brothel, a lake resort and a church camp before the current owners bought it and renovated it to its current state. While at Camp Wandawega, what I felt was a constant pang of that very specific camp feeling. The anxiety before arriving your first time. The waiting of ONE MORE YEAR before your next camp experience always seeming like forever. The addiction in the autonomy and the freedom of no parents or siblings. You just being who you are. Someone good at archery. Someone who loves sitting on a dock. Someone who swings in a hammock. Someone who naps. Someone who hikes. While there, I got invited to a fire on the beach by one couple. At another point, a couple taking engagement photos came by to use the canoes. Untroubled people came and went. Some times a fish would come up to ripple the water in their hunger. The lily pads provided a little buffer from the reflection of the sun. There was the constant smell of a fire burning somewhere. What I recommend doing while at Camp Wandawega: -Eat PB&J. You can go into town for food, but why bother? -Sneak iced coffee or coffee grounds and a French press into the communal kitchen. -You don't really have to sneak, but sneaking around seems very camp-y. -Take a nap. Or several. -Read the books at the end of the bed (A Very Modest Cottage and Found, Free & Flea) by Tereasa Surratt. They will provide more information on the renovation of the property and the care of one of the cottages specifically. -Go on a walk around the whole site. You will find tipis (or teepees) and other fun finds. Just bring your hiking boots. -Canoe. (Language side note: canoe is a noun and a verb. English is so quirky.) -Sit with the liquor of your choice by a fire or just sit by the lake for a while. -Go on a bike ride. -Take pictures. You can't really take a bad one. During my time here, the bees were about. Flies and ants, too. Twice, a spider dropped down (seemingly from the sky) onto the book I was reading. Also, I am 99.9% sure there was a raccoon outside of my cabin door one night. Camp Wandawega is a natural and authentic place which makes it an ultimate place to reflect and assess. Yes, you have to constantly check your wine for bugs, but that is part of the magic of being fully present, isn't it?

AMAZING. This is an awesome place with rich history dating back nearly 100 years ago. The tree…read morehouse is soooo cool, there are many options as far as areas you can stay in. Teepees, old Army tents, the old "dormitories," and small cabins. We were here for a wedding over the weekend (which is rare from what I hear), and the place was recently renovated (in the last 5-7 years or so). This is a very rustic place with a historical feel. In the 1920's during the prohibition years, it was a speakeasy (my favorite part of their history), but there is much more. To learn more about the history check out, www.wandawega.com. This place is also a very well kept secret. I grew up less than 10 miles away from Wandawega, but had only heard of the lake not the "Camp" or "Resort." This place is meticulously decorated, clean, historical, rustic and all-around awesome.

They greeted us with a complimentary brownie upon arrival. We slept well, much more comfortably than I usually do in hotels or stays away from home. You get a choice of many delicious breakfast items to choose from. They serve all kinds of food including vegan. They have their own veggie garden and use many homegrown veggies and herbs in their dishes. We had a tasty vegan frittata one morning and a tofu scramble the next. Served with vegan sausages, breakfast potatoes, fruit salad and unlimited coffee or tea. Other guests chose bacon, waffles, and eggs, etc. There's a Keurig machine, an ice maker and fresh water available 24/7 as well as a fridge with soft drinks. There is a gorgeous pool there! Unfortunately I forgot my swimsuit so we didn't try it but we will next time for sure. Other guests had a lot of enjoyment there. The grounds are lovely with gardens, seating areas and an outdoor fireplace. There's also a basketball hoop. Not only are the accommodations comfortable and homey, the owners are warm and friendly and we had wonderful conversations with them and fellow guests. We actually spent a couple hours lingering after breakfast because we all enjoyed the conversation so much! We admired their beautiful art on the walls as well. This is clearly more than a B&B for Karen and John, this is a dream come true and a definite passion project. They truly put their heart and soul into this property and it shows and is felt. We will definitely be back and will bring our kids as well. This place is a gem.

There is also a separate area in the back with motel rooms. Like I said, I was there for a lil' drink. There's a bar inside the mansion (Apothecary Bar) with all kinds of medical and druggist paraphernalia, with the space being a tribute to Dr. Philip Maxwell. But it's the speakeasy, which is accessible outside in the front of the house, that you'll want to visit. Ask for the password inside the mansion, and they will let you into a dark, below-ground bar.
