Covenant Harbor at Lake Geneva, WI

Posted to Geneva Lake Area , Mary Petersen

This place is out of this world for any parent who has to work while their kids are on summer break.

My children have attended Covenant Harbor all summer and I am so pleased to say they have grown leaps and bounds. They swim, skate board, do crafts, they zip line , they sing & do so many, many other activities.

The best part is seeing that smiling face at the end of a really remarkable day.

Boat Tours in Lake Geneva WI

Posted to Area Attractions & Events, Geneva Lake Area , Mary Petersen

The boat tour over the 4th of July was such a good time. The town & lake was so alive with all the visitors. We took off from the Riviera to watch the fireworks aboard the Lady Louise, a steam powered yacht built in 1902. This fully refurbished boat needs to be oiled every 15 minutes and this maintenance is well justified because of all the gleaming mahogany and polished brass. It truly glistens with elegance. The staff was fantastic! They were polite, funny and full of history about the Geneva Lake. The ticket cost was $25.00 per adult and $15.00 per child (tax not included). Because you can’t beat the location, an hour +/- from Chicago or Milwaukee Lake Geneva is one of best places to be.
