The French Country Inn

Location is wonderful and much...

Liked: Beautiful location on the lake shore. Restaurant on site. Lovely pool. Paddle boards available and pontoon boat rentals. Very historic place.
Disliked: Room was dated and in need of a freshing up.

Charming, relaxing experience

Liked: Great views, friendly staff, cozy and clean rooms

Exceptional

Vastly exceeded expectations in style,...

Liked: We didn't expect to have such a lovely, large, luxurious suite. We were in the main house, in a room facing the lake. The room was exceptionally comfortable. Before dinner, I took a kayak out (free! and life jackets provided, although I had my own), which was relaxing and lovely (Lake Como didn't seem to have as much boat traffic as Lake Geneva, but I don't have other experiences.) Bed was comfortable, with soft linens, a variety of pillows, and multiple different coverlets. The flip-on fireplace was unexpected and cozy. We didn't use the jetted tub, but it was a nice touch. We had an online meeting with someone using my laptop and the wifi was pretty good. The private deck over the lake was absolutely gorgeous and we enjoyed watching the sun go down. Continental breakfast exceeded our expectations. Staff was helpful and friendly, especially Noah who checked us in. We had a drink on the terrace and then dinner inside the restaurant, which was tasty and reasonably priced (wedge and very good seafood soup for me, chicken alfredo for my partner). Fridge and coffeemaker in room, although we didn't use either. Complimentary bottled water was nice, since we weren't excited about the taste of the water. Didn't use the pool, but it seemed clean and well-maintained. Good parking. Well-marked and easy to find. 6 minute drive into downtown Lake Geneva. Overall absolutely perfect stay - we will be back and will recommend highly to others.
Disliked: LOVED the history explanations around the place. Only confusion was that nothing was "French Country" about this inn (which used to be called the Lake Como Inn I think)? Although it didn't make any difference in our happiness! I definitely would have been even more excited if we had known about all the ties between the World's Fair and Chicago's mafia connections! I also regret not buying one of the cozy murder mystery books on display in the lobby... next time!

Perfect romantic getaway

Liked: So impressed with everything- we loved our room and balcony, friendly staff, great pool and best continental breakfast plus live music in the evening!

Nice stay for a night....

Liked: Beautiful location by the lake. Lovely restaurant attached. Nice that you can use the kayaks, paddle boards and paddle boats for free. Loved the patio off the room to relax with lake view.
Disliked: Air conditioner VERY loud in our room all night long. Pressure in sink faucet was off. Loud with burst of air when you turned on water. Wall must be thin as we could hear the person next door snoring all night.

Pleasant

Nice stay on Lake Como...

Liked: The breakfast is not available from Monday-Thursday, except for some pastries/toast in the lobby. Not a problem for us, but it should be mentioned in the ad which says "breakfast." It was also raining so a beautiful outside area was not usable for sitting and eating it outside. Also, there is a renovated and un-renovated area. We were in a really nice renovated room, though I don't know how the older area would be.

Excellent stay

Liked: I stayed an extra day since I loved the location. Staff was kind and helpful throughout my stay
