The staff make this place shine, even more than the ambiance (which is clearly a rightful draw). They make a heartfelt effort to make this a good experience for everyone.

Good location & antique ambiance

Location was great, but the AC control was not working and it was warm in our room upon arrival. And the windows don’t open. I found the bed and pillows uncomfortable, but my husband said they were ok. Decor and ambiance was nice and what we expected and a fun change from modern hotels.

The property itself was beautiful and so was the room. It was unique, and it felt like I was stepping into a luxury 1800s suite.

However, since this is such an old building, you can hear everything from the upstairs. On both mornings that we stayed, we heard every single footstep from the person living upstairs starting at 7am to 8am, until they left. There was no noise insulation, and it was really unfortunate to be woken up every morning because of the very, very thin walls and ceilings.

Also, make sure to turn the dial on the wall *off* otherwise music will start playing starting at 8am. We weren’t aware of this and therefore were awoken again at 8am by music.

Also your stay may irritate your allergies if you are allergic to dust.

But aside from that, the complimentary breakfast was very delicious, the included Sunday brunch was delicious, and the rooms and the house itself was gorgeous.

Everyone was also very nice.

Great historic mansion turned into a hotel! Amazing place to stay on Lake Geneva, with a courtyard for coffee and a speakeasy in the basement.

A great bed and board.

If you want to read an Agatha Christie in style this is the bed and board for you. See a picture of the place. Good location also. We’ll be back

It was the perfect overnight getaway to celebrate a birthday. The staff were welcoming, kind, and attentive. Love the small touches that you find throughout the property. We enjoyed our dinner and the lovely quiet breakfast in the morning. It is ideal for anyone who loves history and being swept up in it.

Beautiful Victorian style building looking over Lake Geneva. Bed was so comfy, we usually do t sleep well the first night at any hotel but this was exceptional. Gorgeous tiled bathroom keeping with the decor but the shower fixtures are sleek and modern including horizontal spray and rain shower head. Luxurious thick robes are ready to warm up in! We were in the Champagne room and i could've stayed all week. Everyone we dealt with was so nice and welcoming. Bartender fun and mixed a great Gin martini! Will be back for sure!

Disappointing

The hotel was very noisy and in poor condition. The music downstairs was audible throughout the day, and in the evening and early morning there were very loud footsteps above (it sounded like a child running around). The hotel was dingy and in need of a complete renovation and deep clean. For example, shower grout was missing or moldy in places. I would not recommend this hotel at a budget price, much less at the price we paid which was comparable to a Four Seasons room in my home city.

One of the most unique and memorable places we've ever stayed in. As the sign at the front door says, you step back in time when entering, but all modern conveniences are still there. Each room is unique, but I can say the Champagne room where we stayed was just as shown in the pictures, with probably the most amazing shower I've used. The included breakfast delivered to the room fit the ambiance perfectly and the host was delightful. My wife definitely approved of my choice for our anniversary getaway.

Our first visit To the Baker House and my husband Gene and I stayed for 3 nights. Beautiful 1885 furnishings. Professional and accommodating staff. Bent over backwards to please all our needs. Our room was very cozy but lacked heat in our room. Having a fireplace in our room was very romantic but did not give off much heat. Needed assistance from Courtney every evening to turn up the room temperature otherwise we totally enjoyed our stay. Food was very good.

Well, the entire property is unique. It’s a small restaurant & bar on first floor, 5 guest rooms and a sitting room on 2nd floor, owner lives on 3rd floor. Lakefront historic house built in 1885, very charming staff. The rooms never really get cold, even at night so if you need icebox AC not for you. Otherwise, breakfast is lovely and it feels like you’ve gone back in time. Would stay again.

OMW - this is an elegant step back in time. The butlers (Jonathan and Brent!) made our stay like we were actually one of the Bakers from the 1800's - coffee served in sterling silver coffee pot on a silver platter. The rooms were impeccably decorated. We must return in the summer when the town is bustling with people. THANK YOU for the amazing adventure turning our clock back!

The staff is incredibly attentive -- the hotel is rich in history and is incredibly opulent -- beautiful and luxurious -- the restaurant has very good food (my wife and I ate there several times over the four days we stayed) -- great location and is extremely close to anything you would want to do in Lake Geneva -- we will certainly be staying there again!

My favorite part is getting to wear hats ! They have a lot downstairs for everyone to have fun trying them on and wearing a favorite but if you stay there upstairs are special hats just for the guests and I indulge even for breakfast in my robe outside our room is a common area you can have breakfast ( you can have breakfast anywhere you'd like ) it has a lovely view of the lake it's so peaceful and relaxing
