What a wonderful place to stay! From the moment we arrived & received a nice tour & history of the property... until we left with a treat to go, as well as the recipe... Everything was great! After arrival we enjoyed a very relaxing evening at the Juicy Olive Lounge. We loved meeting some of the locals & couldn't stop... More

A really neat historic mansion. Walking distance to town. Loved the fact that there was a martini lounge on the first floor. Our stay included breakfast, and there was a very small window of opportunity to get it in the morning (between 8:30-9am). But let me tell you, it was way worth it! Overall, great service, friendly staff, great experience!

Nice B&B in a good location close to the lake and downtown Lake Geneva. Large room and decent size bathroom. The worst part of our stay and the reason that we will never stay again at this B&B, and why we give it such a low overall rating, is that we got locked out of the main entrance one evening... More

I can't tell you how disappointing it is to read that you would go on trip advisor and give an overall low rating to us when you even admitted what a great place this was, because of your own doing! Especially because you are the one that locked yourself out by dead bolting the door! The reason that the door... More

Great location in Lake Geneva- a two block walk to lake and downtown area. We stayed in room 202- very roomy with comfy bed and spacious bathroom. Very nice tour of the mansion. Breakfast was delicious- all homemade and served on the enclosed porch. Just coffee/water and pastry for pm snack. There is a restaurant and bar, (closed for private... More

Each year I make a point to visit some of the beautiful cities in Wisconsin where I live. This summer I made time to visit one of my favorites. On my recent trip to Lake Geneva I decided I wanted to stay at a Resort Hotel. Rather that registering at a name brand location I chose to pick a location... More

We thought it would be fun to go to the Ice Festival in Lake Geneva & found the Golden Oaks Mansion B&B to stay at. It has history that dates back I believe to 1865...It used to have acres and acres of Lake Geneva but slowly sold off to other places to build. It was lovely. They have a TeaHouse... More

Golden Oaks is such a short walk to dowtown Lake geneva. It is literally where the sidewalk ends! We stayed at here celebrating our second anniversary and could not be happier with the experience. The staff, accomodations, food and drink were all wonderful. A special thanks to Brent, Nancy, and Barb for helping our second anniversary feel more like a... More

We stayed at the Golden Oaks Mansion for 2 nights and it was the 4 of us for a "girl's trip". Golden Oaks Mansion was a big hit with us. The rooms were comfortable and charming. The staff was helpful, friendly and accomodating. The breakfasts were terrific. We utilized the parlor in the evenings for gab fests, a mean game... More

We stayed here to celebrate our anniversary. We chose the largest suite. It had a very comfortable king-size bed and lots of space. Luckily it was fairly warm outside (50s). I have a feeling this large room gets pretty drafty in the winter. It has a door to go out to a private balcony. The door isn't very well-sealed. The... More
