Cute, cozy, quiet retreat. We were intown for wedding and needed a place for the weekend. This property is a few minutes from downtown Lake Geneva and more than met expectations. It was quiet and comfortable. The side patio was a great place for a morning cup of coffee to start your day while looking over the garden.The hosts were wonderful and responsive. 10 out of 10 would recommend and would stay again.

Perfect for 2 gals with about a 10 minute drive visiting Lake Geneva. We came home to hot pressurized showers, shaded patio for wine and snacks (Thanks Linda and Tom), a comfy bed for power naps, and space for all our overpacked bags and coolers. We did not hear people in the hallway, no elevator dings, or hotel guests showering or bathrooms flushing. And yes, there are chickens in the backyard to visit. We watched them while we were on the side patio. It was a perfect weekend.

Perfect for a short getaway!

We stayed here while visiting Lake Geneva, and it was a perfect place for a short getaway! It was a perfect size for two people, and the owners do a great job of introducing themselves and being available if guests need anything. We got some great scenic recommendations! Overall, we would definitely come here again.

Welcoming, cozy and inviting inn

We came to the Chicken Coop Inn for our anniversary. The hosts were exceptional with their communication. We were welcomed more than I can express. The Inn was super cute, the chickens were fun to watch, the hosts were amazing and there were numerous small touches that made us feel more like family than guests.

Charming and wonderful stay!

My best friend and I stayed here for a weekend of antique hunting and it was just perfect! It's one of those places that's so good you almost don't want to tell anyone about it to keep it for yourself, but Linda and Tom are so lovely and their property deserves a five star review. The inn is extremely clean and comfortable, with everything you need. Linda provided excellent local recommendations, that we thoroughly enjoyed. The location is perfect as it is set out in the beautiful country but so close to anything you may want to do. We are already planning on coming back!
