Explore Beyond the Lake: Biking and Hiking Adventures
At our romantic boutique inn, we’re perfectly positioned for guests who want to explore Lake Geneva on two wheels or two feet—with your furry companion right beside you.
Road Biking Through Dairy Country
The Sweet Spot
Just outside Lake Geneva, you’ll discover some of Wisconsin’s finest road biking—gentle dairy land hills, peaceful back roads, and views that make you want to stop and take it all in. The magic zone lies between Elkhorn, Burlington, and Lyons Township, where traffic thins out and the countryside opens up.
Skip the Lake Loop
A word of advice: avoid riding around Lake Geneva itself. The two-lane roads are heavily trafficked with countless driveways and zero shoulders—more stressful than scenic. Save those routes for your car and head to the countryside instead.
Mountain Biking
For mountain biking enthusiasts, the Kettle Moraine John Muir trails offer challenging terrain and beautiful woodland scenery. It’s a completely different experience from the road—technical, immersive, and rewarding.
Hiking Near Lake Geneva
Close to the Inn
Just 4 miles away, Linn Nature Park offers 200 acres of restored prairie perfect for morning or afternoon hikes. White River County Park is another local gem—210 acres featuring 2 miles of the White River, which happens to be fantastic for spring kayaking too. Both parks welcome dogs, so bring your best friend along.
Venture Farther
If you’re up for a longer excursion, the Kettle Moraine State Forest, Lulu Lake, and Crooked Creek Preserves offer more extensive trail systems and pristine natural beauty. We can point you in the right direction.
The Wisconsin Experience
Why We Love It Here
Outdoor Wisconsin—there’s really nothing quite like it.

The people you meet share your love for the outdoors and Wisconsin’s legendary dairy culture.
Your Pace, Your Adventure
The best part? You set the pace. Fly down a back road if you’re feeling ambitious. Take it slow through the prairie if you want to savor the moment. Challenge yourself with steep climbs or coast through gentle descents. The varied terrain around Lake Geneva keeps every ride interesting, and every hike feels different from the last.
