If you're seeking a serene and rejuvenating retreat from the city, look no further than The Abbey Resort in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. My recent stay at this lakeside haven left me feeling relaxed and reset. From the tranquillity of the Avani Spa to the cuisine at 240° West, this charming Lake Geneva resort offers the perfect blend of relaxation and quiet indulgence. Let me take you on a journey through my unforgettable experience.

Arriving at The Abbey Resort

The Abbey Resort is conveniently located a comfortable 90-minute drive from Chicago. This makes it the perfect getaway for a weekend away from the city. Not coming from downtown Chicago? The Abbey Resort is conveniently located just 45 minutes from Milwaukee and Chicago's Northern Suburbs.

The Avani Spa: A Sanctuary of Serenity

Upon checking in to The Abbey Resort, I wasted absolutely no time making my way toward the Avani Spa. This tranquil oasis nestled within the resort's premises makes relaxation easy and convenient. The moment I stepped inside, I felt instantly transported to relaxation town.

I opted for the Balancing Aromatherapy massage, which was nothing short of heavenly. The massage therapist used a blend of essential oils to soothe my senses and release tension from my body. It was the perfect way to start my stay, leaving me feeling refreshed and ready to explore all that The Abbey Resort had to offer.

The good times don’t end there though! You also get to enjoy the spa facilities including their indoor pool, sauna, steam room, and salt room! Salt rooms are one of my personal favourites as these serene spaces are designed to improve respiratory health and promote relaxation.

240° West: A Wisconsin Culinary Delight

After a rejuvenating spa experience, I had worked up an appetite and headed over to 240° West, The Abbey Resort's signature restaurant. With stunning panoramic views of Lake Geneva and a warm, inviting ambiance, this restaurant is the perfect spot for a stress-free dining experience.

With all their locally sourced, hand-crafted meals, I couldn't resist starting off with their French Onion Soup. The rich and savory broth topped with gooey melted cheese was the perfect comfort food on a cool Summer evening. For the main course, we indulged in the New York Strip steak and the Walleye.

Harbour views? I’ll drink to that. The Abbey Resort has three full-service bars, all with harbour views. We opted to pop some bubbles and enjoy the view from our private patio instead.

Fireside S'mores: A Sweet Finale

To cap off my evening, I couldn't resist the allure of fireside s'mores. This activity takes the cake, or should I say marshmallow? The resort offers this charming activity, where you can gather around a cozy fire pit, roast marshmallows, and create your own ooey-gooey s'mores. It's the perfect way to unwind, bond with friends or family, and enjoy the breathtaking views of Lake Geneva under the starry night sky.

That Midwest Hospitality

My stay at The Abbey Resort in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, was nothing short of memorable. From the Avani Spa's soothing treatments and salt rooms to the delectable dishes at 240° West and the tasty fireside s'mores, every moment was a testament to the resort's commitment to providing a luxurious and unforgettable experience.

If you're seeking a place to relax, rejuvenate, and indulge in both culinary delights and serene spa treatments, The Abbey Resort is the perfect destination. It's a hidden gem in the heart of Wisconsin that offers a taste of paradise by the shores of Lake Geneva. I can't wait to return for another unforgettable getaway.
