Lake Geneva, both a town and a lake in southern Wisconsin, is regarded by many as the "Hamptons of the Midwest." This town's history dates to the 1920s when vacationers from Milwaukee and Chicago came for weekend trips. It was reported that even Al Capone spent time there. Since then, resorts and inns have been developed that provide convenient access to the lake's activities, as well as the Geneva National Golf Club.
The French Country Inn was built in the 19th century and rests on the southern end of Lake Geneva and provides its guests with convenient access to water activities, such as fishing and boating. The inn is an approximate five-minute drive from Clear Water Outdoor, a boat shop that offers kayaking and canoeing rentals, as well as boating lessons. Amenities at French Country Inn include a "Gathering Room" for meetings and receptions, as well as on-site restaurant, Kirsch, that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurant also has outdoor seating that overlooks the lake. Each of the guest rooms include a king-sized or two queen-sized beds, fireplace, satellite television and private balcony. Some of the rooms have a whirlpool tub.
