Maxwell Mansion Hotel

My wife and I have gone here twice for our anniversary. Beautiful, clean rooms, with a whirlpool tub. The mansion is clean and quiet. All the staff is excellent! We love the privacy, and the quiet. Perfect romantic getaway! Close to town for some good food, and no children, so it’s always a quiet night in. The apocathery and speakeasy offer good drinks for an intimate date night. We can’t say enough about this place, it’s become our go to destination for a quick romantic getaway.

This hotel is so beautiful, and the decor is spectacular! Very friendly staff. The igloos outside were so neat. They were warm and had cozy furniture to sit on. We highly recommend staying at this boutique hotel!

What a wonderfully unique place to stay! The property is beautiful and the mansion and carriage house are really cool! We stayed in the Carriage House. The room was spacious and included a whirlpool tub in the main area. Everything was very clean, there was a Keurig, Apple TV available, robes (very plush and comfy), and a hair dryer with diffuser (this was a bonus in my book as someone who always brings my own because it’s rare for a hotel room provide a diffuser for us curly hair individuals). There is also body wash, shampoo, and conditioner provided in the shower. The whirlpool tub was spacious and sparkling clean. It was wonderful to soak in after a day walking the lake and downtown. The bed was comfy and the linens were nice and warm. Also, it was nice and quiet! We don’t hear anything from another room, no voices, walking/steps, etc. The only thing we heard was the heat unit that would kick on/off occasionally. Also loved that there was a screen door and regular door. It was nice to have the main door open and enjoy the breeze. We lucked out with our weather! Also loved that each door in the Carriage House has a numeric keypad with a code provided at check in. No hassle of keys or keycards and it worked like a charm. There are 2 bars on the property - the Apothecary Bar in the rear of the mansions first floor and the Speakeasy. The Apothecary was great - unique drinks that would meet anyone’s taste. The Mixologist was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. He pointed out places to explore on the mansions first floor and suggested some drinks to try. I enjoyed the hot buttered chai - delicious! The Speakeasy is amazing!! Not only is the service second to none, the atmosphere is dead on. The drink menu is great with a variety of unique options for anyone’s palette. The music selection is phenomenal! Love to hear Sinatra, Dean, Glenn Miller, etc. The doorman is awesome and fits the period perfectly. The bartender is amazing- she will go above and beyond to find a drink to wet your whistle. We made it a point to visit the Speakeasy each night of our stay. I could not recommend the Maxwell Mansion highly enough. It’s close enough to downtown LG while being far enough away. During busy seasons individuals who are of average fitness could easily walk from the property to the lake and other areas. To the owners and staff, thank you for a wonderful weekend! We will be back!!

Stayed for 2-nights to celebrate our anniversary. Grounds were lovely. Room was well-appointed and comfortable. It was quiet and charming. Having a drink and sitting in the outside globe was so romantic!

Wanted a unique getaway for my birthday weekend. It’s been a very disappointing stay. If I could get my money back I’d skip the last night and go home early. They wanted to charge us $25 to check in early even though our room was ready so we waited 3-more hours. Don’t get here before 4. The room is ok but none of the “bells and whistles” worked right (at least we couldn’t figure them out) the fan in the room is really loud and we couldn’t to get the heat regulated. Don’t waste your time at the speakeasy and the other bar was too crowded. Just went to our room after dinner. The public areas need some love…looked more rundown than “boutique”. Wish we stayed elsewhere.

The good. Room except for one thing was pristine. Very nicely decorated and it all fit. Room was easy to find and well marked. Definitely a very unique place. The second check in person was awesome The bad. Lauren at the front desk was confused and flustered overmatched. Signs for check in are very small and NOT well marked. Very confusing. The lampshade in room was disgusting ( will share a picture ). Room was not ready at check in and was given 2 different times. If they would have just said sorry, can you give us an hour would have been fine. Instead it was come back in 20 minutes. When we walked into the room you knew the floor was freshly mopped. There were 2 rather large puddles left.

Beautiful - unique accommodation, Rooms in the Mansion have a 19th century theme. Restaurants are close enough to make the lack of eating facilities unnecessary. Quite a romantic accommodation. A nice stay.

Great little weekend getaway, exactly what we wanted it to be! The front desk staff were friendly during check in and check out, the mixologist made me a drink I’ve never had before and it’s now one of my new favorites!

Very nice staff but the nightly rate was not what was advertised. No food service on property and very limited bar hours. Took owners two weeks to respond to our questions regarding our stay. Still no resolution to the prices they up charged. Enough other places to at in Lake Geneva.
