Nestled on 90 acres of pristine shoreline along sparkling Geneva Lake, The Abbey resort has served as a premier Midwest retreat since its opening in 1963. Instantly recognizable by its iconic A-frame exteriorโ€”an award-winning design that smartly blends Polynesian rooflines with European chalet architectural elementsโ€”The Abbey was named after medieval abbeys renowned for their exceptional hospitality. For more than 60 years, this lakeside haven has welcomed travelers of all kinds, including generations of families seeking respite in the historic Lake Geneva area, once the summer playground of Chicagoโ€™s industrial elite. Today, The Abbey continues to uphold its tradition of providing a warm and inviting respite for guests as they explore the natural beauty of a destination that has captivated visitors for centuries.
