The Baker House and Lake Geneva Steak House - Lake Geneva, Wisconsin

I have nothing but good things to say about The Baker House! The staff and owner (Roland) was very accommodating to help make my time there special for my b day with family and friends. When we checked in the staff nice to give us an early check in and tour of the house. Tasty chocolate covered strawberries and champagne on ice was waiting for us. The decor and feel of the home was beautiful filled with that classic charm of the time period. All bathrooms have been updated with a gorgeous boutique feel.
They made sure my group of 10 had a separate dining room for us to all fit comfortably with a pianist playing in the background. We decided to have a roaring 20’s theme which was a lot
Of fun.
After dinner they opened up their speak easy for us since we had a decent size group even though it’s off season. This was one of the items that attracted us to this home as it fit our theme. The owner Rolland even joined us for a cocktail in the speakeasy and talk like old pals. Very personable person and friendly.
After the speak easy we had cigars and cocktails in the enclosed cabana with gas fireplace.
We have not being but great things to say about the whole experience and they went above and beyond to make my b day and experience memorable! We will definitely come back!
Keep up the great work as I wish all business owners and staff treat guest as you all have!
Will try to post a few pics of our experience.

My husband and I eloped and came here for our wedding dinner and it was a complete disaster. We waited a decent time just to get water and our drinks which the server brought out the wrong wine to my husband. Then we ordered dinner which took forever and my husbands salad that he ordered never came out. He then got the wrong meal, apparently he was given someone else’s meal, so they took back his meal and my steak. We now waited probably another 20-30 minutes for our food. My steak now comes back way undercooked when I asked for medium. They now have to take the steak back to cook it more which literally took 30 minutes when cooking a steak a little extra only takes a cpl minutes. We meanwhile see out server sitting at someone’s table talking away while my steaks getting overcooked. My husband had to give me some of his food as I hadn’t eaten all day and have health issues then go to the back to ask where my steak was as our server was not paying attention. I finally got my steak, which was definitely not worth $58. We received no apologies for all the mishaps and another couple sitting behind us who was celebrating their anniversary had the same crappy experience and told us how they felt really bad for us because it was our wedding night especially. I have written to the restaurant in multiple ways and asked for someone to call me and speak to me and not one person has reached out via email or phone call, I’ve never experienced such horrible customer service in my life and would not expect it to come from what’s supposed to be such a wonderful place in Lake Geneva. If you know what’s good for you, do not plan any big events at this restaurant and I wouldn’t even eat there on a regular night, the food wasn’t worth it and the service was awful- the way they treat their customers is disgusting! Whoever is running this place has 0 care for their customers!

We loved our stay at the baker house and would recommend 10/10 everyone stay there. The rooms were incredibly well kept and the home itself had such beautiful decor and upkeep it truly felt as though you took a step back in time. The breakfast there was incredible as well. Best croissants I think I have ever had. The view from the upstairs lounge was so beautiful over looking the lake. The owner was the sweetest gentleman and made us feel very at home in the space. He gave us a great tour at the beginning of our stay explaining details and some history of the home and the stay. The bartender Kevin was fantastic and has so many wonderful stories, also an excellent piano player that we got the privilege of seeing perform. We also met the chef of Baker House as well, master at his craft. All in all I would say the Baker House was one of the best places I have ever stayed and I am very much looking forward to a return stay!

From the minute we walked in we were greeted by Allison in a warming atmosphere. We then met Ashley our server and couldn't believe the phenomenal service all around we received, she almost felt like true family. The asparagus soup was one of the BEST! We will be back! Thank you for a wonderful time

I ate at the steakhouse. This is my review of my dining experience.

Waited over an hour for our food. We didn’t order appetizers so this is the main meal we were waiting on.
Food was some of the worst prepared I’ve had in a long time at a place that’s supposed to be a high end steak house.
8oz filet was overcooked, over seasoned and dry. The bordelaise sauce was way too salty and definitely tasted like it came out of a jar. Crab Oscar add on was sketchy and the sauce was cooled and congealed. The “pomme frites” were nothing more than grocery store frozen fries.
My girlfriend’s add-on was pan-seared scallops. They came out as breaded scallops. She is Gluten intolerant and this was made abundantly clear to our server. She apologized and had the chef re-fire
the scallops sans breading.
Btw who breads scallops?!
They came out with a strange mixture of garlic, balsamic glaze and dill.
The garlic was overpowering and tasted raw. The scallops were small and shriveled.

The wait time made all of this worse.
Cannot believe how much time and money I wasted here. Never will I return.

Go for happy hour Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Bartenders are quick, friendly, and know how mix drinks well. Sunday brunch is also well done . Prices are fair with variety of choices.

We cannot express enough how thankful we are to Michael and the entire Baker House team for making our wedding events unforgettable. From our rehearsal dinner to our welcome party, every detail was handled with such care and attention. Michael went above and beyond with the menu and drinks, ensuring everything was perfect. We even had the lovely addition of a pianist during our meal, which made the evening so special.

The welcome party in the garden was a huge hit, and the Versailles Bridal Suite was absolutely stunning — the perfect place for the bridal party to get ready. To top it all off, the Baker House provided a delicious wedding day brunch for the entire bridal party!

We highly recommend the Baker House to any couple looking for a beautiful and memorable experience. We can't wait to return for our anniversary!

We are seasoned travelers and have vacationed at luxury accommodations around the world. Our 2-nite stay at the Baker House fell far short of the expectations we had based on their website.
We were there in February and froze at night from the cold air coming from the vent into our room. When we complained the next morning, the owner brought us a space heater. However, that did nothing to stop the cold draft coming in through the vent.
In addition to the cold, we were kept awake by the bright light steaming in through our window from the hotel next door. The owner said we could move to a different room, but we looked and realized another room wouldn't be any better.
Smaller details disappointed us, too. No box of tissues, or soap at the sink, in the bathroom... a stained and torn shower curtain... the list goes on.
If you're going to splurge on accommodations, look elsewhere. We wouldn't stay at Baker House if the rooms were half the price.
