Dating back to the early 1900's, the historical significance of the Hayloft serves as a complement to Lake Geneva's already interesting past. Originally the Loramoor Estate, the once owner, James R. Moore used the main house as his personal getaway from Chicago. An avid horseman, he converted one of the outbuildings to stables with apartments on the upper level to house his horse caretakers and built other structures on the property including living quarters, greenhouses, and an icehouse. At one point, there were 140 men employed at the property. Sadly, the main house met its end in the 1980s, and many of the buildings have been converted to personal homes. The stables have since been restored to be the beautiful Hayloft Lodge we know today. Although some aspects have changed, much of the historical charm lives on!
The resort city of Lake Geneva offers excitement for any age. Whether you’re an adventure-seeker, love to explore nature, or immerse yourself in the arts, Lake Geneva has it all! Local beaches include Big Foot Beach State Park, with trails and picnic areas. The Lake Geneva Shore Path is over 20 miles long and offers views of historical estates on one side with clear blue waters and tranquil views on the other. You’ll be sure to catch sight of a sailboat or antique vessel as they drive by across the pristine waters. Be sure to time your evening right to catch a stunning sunset from anywhere along the shore path. With so many things to do and see, you’ll want to visit Lake Geneva over and over again!
