Lake Geneva is beautiful. It's just one of those weekend trip places that you aren't soon to forget. Driving into town and then heading towards our hotel, the roads were picturesque and vibrant. We stayed at the Grand Geneva Resort. One of the pricier resorts, the location further from the central hub of Main Street, but it was definitely worth it. The decor, the service, and the rooms were all nice. We had a balcony room and the views overlooked the hotel's golf course. We enjoyed our coffee and pastries on the balcony. All the makings of a good weekend getaway.

After brunch, we walked around Main Street and shopped for souvenirs. We stopped by Simple Cafe, a little bit out of the way, but a nice walk through a quiet neighborhood. We picked up some pastries to bring back to the hotel for later. That night, we had dinner at the hotel's restaurant, Geneva Chophouse. Definitely a top notch steakhouse, great service and good food.

The next day, we made it a point to sleep in and order breakfast in bed via room service. Then headed back to Main Street to Clear Water Outdoors to rent some kayaks. They launched us right into Lake Geneva and we were paddling away within 30 minutes. While kayaking the lake, we hovered around the edges of the lake. This is the best place to view all of the lake houses and homes surrounding the shores of Lake Geneva. We paddled slowly through the waters, at a reasonable distance so as not to be creepy, but we were in awe of the luxury lake homes we were able to see from our vantage point in the water. 

After 2 hours on the water, we headed back to shore. We returned our kayaks and headed over to Sprecher's Restaurant and Pub, very close to the kayak launch spot. After lunch, we decided to find a spot at the beach and enjoy some relaxation and more sun. We swam out to the floating docks they had just offshore of the beach. The waters of Lake Geneva are some of the clearest you'll see in Wisconsin. 

Happy Travels!
