My mom has been hearing about lake geneva and we were thinking of going for 2-3 days to a waterpark hotel just for a quick getaway. Have you ever been there? She loves to go in little shops, do they have shopping? Any help on what to do there or if its worth it would be appreciated--thank you

TimberRidge lodge is great. If you check out their website there are some hot dates where you can get a one bedroom for 109 a night. We went this past winter with my three young boys (4,3,1) and had a great time. The room was really nice and has a kitchen to use. Seperate room and then a pull out couch in the living area. There was a nice table in the room for meals. The water park area was also really nice. We had gone to Grizzly Jack's in Utica and there was no comparison. TimberRidge was sooo much better for us. Good luck and have fun.

I live in Lake Geneva.....The only indoor waterpark is Timber Ridge. There are lots of little shops downtown. I can refer you to other specific restaurants/hotels/things to do if you want more info let me know. Have fun!

Yes Lake Geneva has the little shops in the downtown area, they have a nice lakefront to walk around, a beach ( although small, and they charge to go on the beach). They have some great restaurants, and activities for the kids. Go and have a great time.

My kids loved the indoor waterpark at TimberRidge Resort. They have some really good deals so go to their website. I think all the rooms are equipped with a kithenette. The waterpark is very nice and there is a small petting zoo and pony rides that you can walk to that's nearby. We did not leave the resort besides going to the pony rides so I don't know about any shops in the downtown area. It's definitely worth a trip to spend one or two nights there. (We stayed one night.) I know you are requesting info. about Lake Geneva, but I also want to mention a place in Sheyboygan, Wisconsin that we were very happy with called Blue Harbor. If I had to pick one, I'd go with Blue Harbor although it's a bit further... about 2 and half to 3 hrs. from Arlington Hts. I think there is more to do around Blue Harbor than TimberRidge but both are fine. We got the Lake view at Blue Harbor... beautiful! and the kids loved going to the lake and building sand castle and their waterpark is very good.

The shops are great!! If you stay at Timberridge Lodge (with waterpark) be sure to ask about their specials. They have some really good ones!
