Why the Owner Chose Lake Geneva:
Lake Geneva has beautiful topography, great local culture, all the activities you could ask for. about an hour from O'Hare or 90 minutes from Chicago! 35 minutes from Milw.
The Unique Benefits at this Lodge:
I once heard an heiress state that "privacy is the ultimate luxury". You cannot see another building from this home, yet a hot Chicago Pizza can be delivered in 25 minutes!
