Baker House Hotel

We stayed at the Baker House hoping to celebrate our anniversary. The house must have been a hundred degrees so they brought a small dirty fan up into our room. The furniture is all old with springs popping through worn filthy cushions. We had stayed in the past and they had included breakfast and there was staff on site then. This time we were left completely alone in the house and when we called the number on the check in card for after hours it went straight to voicemail. Also apparently no more breakfast is included just a bowl of half rotten fruit sitting on the community table. The $48 brunch the next morning also offered moldy fruit. We sat on the front porch where the tables aren’t even dining tables but end tables so we smacked our knees against the legs and couldn’t even push in our chairs to eat properly. An older man who I believe was the owner was yelling and swearing at his employees at the front desk when we were in the bar area. I don’t think he knew we could hear but the entire experience was so disheartening , uncomfortable and just disgusting we will never ever go back. Such a shame such a beautiful house is being run into the ground by a man who obviously cares nothing for the quality of the food or maintaining the house or even having enough professionalism not to swear and scream at his employees in front of the guests. Zero stars. So disappointing. Worst anniversary ever thanks to the bad choice we made going there. We definitely won’t be back and I’ll be posting this review on every site possible to warn others not to let Baker House destroy anyone else’s special occasion.

The Best meal, the best staff and management, great culinary cooks who care about what they are serving, super awesome eclectic ambiance. You have to at very least enjoy a drink at happy hour and see for yourself. The steak is Amazing and the staff is out of this world full of smiles and kindness. It like going to dinner at a family member who has a fancy home. A plus.

Stayed here 2 nights in July as a couple. Had eaten here before but had never stayed before then. It is a truly wonderful place to stay and I highly recommend it. Some details... --Each room has its own character - nothing cookie cutter about them. We stayed in the Bordeaux. The decor is opulent but also eccentric, and you can keep finding new little things of interest every moment you are in it. --Bed was comfortable --Bathroom is a little smallish but wonderfully decorated and everything worked fine --Common areas are just as interesting as the rooms, decorated in lots of period things. There is a nice little sitting area reserved only for room guests (there are only a few rooms in the place), with views of the lake. --There is a restaurant and bar on the premises that are quite good too, but see those reviews separately for more detail. --The building is old, so things are creeky and not everything is perfectly fitted anymore and the floors and doors creak and groan. Just be aware of that. --It is also a pretty expensive place - another thing to know going in. But it is expensive for good reasons. --Customer service was good, though they (like seemingly every other business) were clearly short-staffed so there were sometimes some waits to find someone. If you want simple and inexpensive, this is not the place. But if you want a unique, stand-out experience and are willing to shell out for it, then this is THE place to stay in Lake Geneva or anywhere in the vicinity, hands-down.
