Overall Ratings & Reviews The French Country Inn Lake Geneva

Quaint Quiet on the weekdays and saltwater pool!

The views are great in this historic Inn. Layed back but still classy. Away from the crowds but great dining that adds some fun. Could use a few room convinces and amenities like a working coffee and micro.

If you’re booking a stay at the French Country Inn based on the photos, prepare yourself for a rude awakening—and perhaps a tetanus shot. What’s advertised as a “quaint lakeside retreat” is, in reality, a dilapidated property. The photos on the website are not just outdated—they’re borderline fraudulent. The rooms look nothing like the filtered, soft-lit marketing images. Instead, think stained carpeting, holes in walls, and bathrooms that feel like they haven’t seen a deep clean or renovation since the Reagan administration. The property itself is in desperate need of maintenance. Peeling paint and bird poop on the stairs, piles of dead bugs along the outside walls make the entire inn feel like it’s been abandoned and reinhabited by someone with no sense of hospitality. Bottom line: The French Country Inn is a textbook case of style over substance. We ended up switching accommodations and spending extra out of pocket because it was so gross.

Very historical place, there are remodeling and doing a great job, very clean, everything you need right on the property. The manager Eric, is very nice and accommodating. The restaurant on site has very good food and the service is excellent to hidden gem

Porch chairs were filthy. Room was musty. Difficult time to get tv to work

Beautiful place right on the lake , perfect sunset and Eric at front desk was very polite and pleasant. Would recommend the place for quite get away.

The staff was very nice and welcoming. The room as very nice and love the porch looking out to the lake. Looking forward to returning soon.

This is the best place who like quite place.

We love the views and our room was just recently remodeled and it was so nice. The beds were comfortable. Also the price was reasonable especially for the views we had during our stay.. Very quiet as well.

This is a cute on the lake Inn. We went for a girls weekend and had a blast. Dinner at the on-site supper club was outstanding.

A weekend to remember

Amazing stay definitely stay there again on our next visit. Eric, the manager simply outstanding and Becky our server at the restaurant for both breakfast and dinner total professional and a super kind woman thank you Eric thank you Becky

The bathroom was Very Old . Sink & tub

Very nice place!! Can’t wait to go back!!

The view from the balcony is great and the area is quiet. Parking is a problem. There are not enough spaces outside the rooms so you have to park several blocks from your room if the restaurant is crowded. The rooms share a parking lot with the restaurant. The heater/ air conditioner is extremely loud.

Great place

In a word, disappointing. I mean at every level. Carpets, fireplace, bathroom etc all require replacement. All artwork removed from room yet left the holes, requires painting throughout, carpet badly stained, entire place had to be aired out due to heavy ammonia cleaning products used, etc. Then the bar and restaurant were off limits due to a private function. Finally, breakfast was NOT included, but a voucher for $10, insufficient for any breakfast.

Food

We enjoyed our stay so much that we have booked again for 2 weeks from now! Lovely views and fabulous service! Eric and his team go out of their way to make your stay special!

Very historical property
