“Romantic retreat! You won't leave hungry...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 March 2011

My boyfriend and I took a quick trip to Lake Geneva, WI from Chicago... We were looking to get away and relax and we were lucky enough to come across Maria's Bed & Breakfast. Our room was cozy and quaint and the bed was sinfully comfortable. The bathroom boasted a large jacuzzi tub that was a perfect way to escape the "spring" snow flurries outside... It was lovely. Maria was friendly, attentive and welcoming and made us feel very much at home. Our breakfast the following morning was fantastic... German-born Maria is an AMAZING cook and made us the most amazing peach crepes from fresh peaches she jammed herself. I do believe my boyfriend was momentarily considering leaving me for Maria upon hearing that she also makes Schnitzel... ; ) It was a wonderful stay and we look forward to returning very soon. With such a short drive from Chicago and promises of Maria's hospitality and cooking, there is no reason not to. It felt like home!

“Wonderful retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 May 2010

My husband and I, along with our extended family stayed at Maria's for one night prior to the Lake Geneva Marathon and had a wonderful time. We felt like we were a part of the family immediately and enjoyed talking with our hosts, tasting aged cheese, and eating a wonderful breakfast served in the dining room. Just a lovely environment - Looking forward to returning soon.

“Marvelous place to stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2010

Just returned from a perfectly romantic get-away in Lake Geneva, and our stay at Maria's Bed & Breakfast set the tone for the whole weekend. We stayed in the cozy Dresden Room - we were greeted with coffee and cookies and the room is well appointed with candles, an electric fireplace and a towel warmer. The bed was very comfortable with gorgeous linens and the jacuzzi tub was marvelous. Maria is friendly, conversant, and an excellent cook. Her stuffed French Toast is to die for. Highly recommended, especially at the reduced winter tariff! Convenient to Lake Geneva town center - an easy four block walk

“Love it so much, I keep coming back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2009

This was my second time at the B&B. It was such a wonderful experience the first time we just had to come back.

The place is adorable, with lots of art work, antiques and collections. Gives a very European feeling. The rooms are all different and unique. I was happy to find a magazine collection in the room and a plate full of chocolates and freshly bakes cookies. There was a nice videos and DVD collection for all to use in the hallway in case we got bored.

After we got settled we took a walk to down town, it is only minutes away. Maria made some great recommendations where to go for dinner and had menus to show us. When we came back we hung out in the beautiful garden, enjoining the peaceful night.

Breakfast was delicious and served on the most beautiful plates. We both felt very papered and we can't wait to go back.
