Winter Activities

Winter brings a storybook Lake Geneva to life, overflowing with skiing and snowboarding, or the simple pleasure of curling up by a cozy fireplace. Glowing with holiday lights and Winterfest, your front row seat to the U.S. Nationals Snow Sculpting Competition, Lake Geneva is a true winter wonderland.
 

Geneva Lake Cruises
For over a century, visitors have enjoyed gliding along Wisconsin’s second largest (and second deepest) lake. You can set sail aboard a historic reproduction of a steamboat and see the famous Mailboat Tour. A mailperson delivers mail to lakefront residents by hopping off the boat, dropping off and picking up mail from the pier’s mailboxes, and jumping back on—all while the boat is still moving! It’s a sight you won’t find anywhere else in the country.

Watson Wild West Museum
Immerse yourself in the Wild West, just a few minutes from the hotel. There’s a general store with cowboy paraphernalia, a saloon with old fashioned root beer and a chance to pan for gold. Open May through October.

East Troy Electric Railroad
Visit the last original electric railroad in Wisconsin. There are dining trips, exhibits and souvenirs available at this site, which is open seasonally from May to October.
