The Experience

The lake, the table, the long way round

A considered guide to the days our guests remember - on the water, around the table and close to home.

Geneva Lake

Water and Lake

The lake before breakfast

Carry the kayaks down while the water is still glass. Later, book a pontoon or private cruise through one of the local operators we recommend and see Geneva Lake from the shoreline that made it famous.

  • Beach passes for the private beach
  • Pontoon and jet ski rental
  • Private boat cruises

Gourmet and Dining

A table worth coming home to

The chef's kitchen and sixteen-seat table make staying in feel like the main event. We can recommend trusted private chefs, and grocery pre-stocking or a lakeside reservation is easy to organise.

  • Private chef recommendations
  • Covered terrace dining
  • Lakefront restaurants nearby
