Wow, this place was fantastic. It took us back in time. We felt like we were royal owners or living in the roaring twenties. The rooms were comfortable and made us feel like home. The drinks were all top shelf. The food was amazing. The grounds were in tip top condition. The entertainment was superb. And an amazing thing is it sits one block from the beautiful Lake Geneva. We would highly recommend it to couples looking for something new and different. Special congratulations to both Luke and Monica the new owners. You did an amazing job here. Luke, we met you in Sheboygan at the Harbor Winds Hotel. We recommend this fantastic place to all my military veteran friends around the world. We will return.

Neat boutique hotel with different themed rooms. Well maintained, clean and friendly. Loved the speakeasy and apothecary bars. Nice bourbon and scotch selection.

From booking my reservation to the time we left, we had a wonderful experience. I booked a room which was super easy to do. We stayed in the stables rm 4 and it was so spacious and comfortable! I loved the plush comfortable bed. My husband enjoyed the steam shower! The charm amd elegance of the property was just wonderful which is why we booked to stay here and so that we could do photos on site.

When I booked my reservation, I had explained that it was our 1st wedding anniversary and I knew the speakeasy was closed Sundays, but i was hoping to potentially get a photo shoot down there. They were (Jen I believe) SO nice and accommodating of that! They even had our room ready way ahead of 4 o'clock which was so nice! When we arrived in our room, there was a card wishing us a happy anniversary and a bottle of chilled bubbly on the bed! This was so sweet! Everyone who worked at the mansion was so kind and nice. Erin was so friendly and easy going while we were taking our photos in the speakeasy and when we approached her on site!

Juan and Rafi from The Apothecary were so welcoming and helpful with ordering drinks. They gave us some history about the mansion and they were just upbeat and friendly. The drinks are different but so good! They put a lot of work into their drinks/menus and it shows! They are beautiful looking and delicious tasting! The hibiscus highball, hibiscus mule, smores old fashioned and espresso martini drinks were fantastic!

Just an fyi- any of their flatbreads can be gluten free!! I didnt realize this until after we had had dinner off site.. but good to know for next time!

Location is super convenient to down town! We went to egg harbor for breakfast and it was delicious. Food was clean and fresh and not greasy/old.. it tasted fresh and it was such quick service! Their gf cinnamon roll was so good!

Thank you to the staff of the maxwell mansion for making our 1st anniversary as husband and wife a memorable one!

My husband and I got married at the Maxwell Mansion this August and we couldn't have been happier with this venue! The grounds were beautifully in bloom, and the mansion itself is so unique and fun. We got some beautiful photos that we will certainly cherish for a lifetime! We had so many of our guests tell us they loved this venue as well, and that they loved having the options to enjoy the different spaces in the mansion!

The customer service we had from all of the MM staff was great. Particularly the event coordinator, Sarah. We had some crazy weather going on that day for our outdoor ceremony and reception, and Sarah was extremely on top of things, making sure everything still went smoothly with having to pivot a bit. It was definitely something that made our day as great as it was. Our guests certainly noticed all she did, and we appreciated her so much!

The rooms are so beautiful and we loved having the bridal suite + Stables 1 as our getting ready spaces. We will definitely come back again for a weekend getaway!

We did not stay but stopped at the Tiki Bar to have drinks. We had our own little quiet corner outside the mansion with nice outdoor seating to sit and unwind.

This is a wonderful place to visit and stay. It is walking distance to restaurants and downtown. The Mansion is very beautiful and so remarkable. The owners and staff are so accommodating and super friendly. A great asset to Lake Geneva!!!!!

Could not rave about this place more! Was so incredibly beautiful and the rooms were so cozy. We loved the apothecary bar and the speakeasy. The mansion was situated about a 10 minute walk from downtown and was the perfect location. Would highly recommend!

If you are looking for a unique place to get married with character and old money charm, you have found it!! Every time I have been able to photograph at Maxwell Mansion, it has been a dream! There are too many spaces and details to love, but the apothecary bar, front garden courtyard, and cocktail spaces are especially unique. It truly makes a great space for a wedding.

Amazing stay! The staff was so friendly, the grounds are beautiful, and location was great! A small detail we loved was the bags of ice instead of an ice machine. They do everything right. We will definitely be back!

The property itself is beautiful, with a charming ambiance enhanced by live music on select evenings and cozy fire pits scattered throughout. The outdoor seating areas are particularly comfortable and inviting, making it a great place to relax.

Unfortunately, our experience was marred by an issue with the in-room refrigerator, which was leaking and ended up soaking some of the food we had brought with us. While the front desk responded quickly and replaced the unit. A bit more attentiveness and goodwill from the staff would have gone a long way in improving our overall impression.

We stopped in for a drink. Ill start by saying I absolutely love the vibe here!! It was a bit crowded on a Saturday night. The mansion is super eclectic inside and out. We grabbed a drink at the Apothecary bar and found some chairs around the numerous firepits. Starting chatting with others and found more peace and space outdoors. Then we visited the speakeasy in the basement. Very cool vibe, also crowded, but def enjoyed all of it.

Cant wait to come back in the summer when all the flowers are in bloom and spend the night in one of the rooms.
