The property now called Lake Geneva Courtyard, featuring Ole Bistro Inn, wasn't always this beautiful structure enhancing the city and neighboring Historic District. The 60-year-old property known as 220 Cook Street, located on the west side of downtown Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, was once a graffiti-covered, dilapidated, four-family apartment building in dire need of some care.
The best kept secret of the Midwest is only a short way from Chicago. Take a break from your daily schedule and visit our historic inn located in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. You'll love staying in our cozy vacation home on a lovers' retreat. Ole Bistro Inn is located only one block from beach access to the incredible lake.
Start your getaway on the right foot with one of our three lakeview suite rentals in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Each features full amenities for those times you want a romantic getaway. Our luxurious suites are outfitted with the softest sheets and towels, but bring your beach towel and chairs for when you do venture to the lakeshore.
All reservations for our lakeside rentals require a 25% non-refundable deposit, payable to Ken Wenz, upon signing guest agreement to the terms and conditions of these rentals. Visa, Mastercard, and personal check are accepted. Credit cards are required on file for all reservations, including those paid for by personal check.
The moment I arrived I knew i had made the right choice, in fact the condo itself was so nice, comfortable, and Ken was immediately helpful when I had a question. With no hesitation I recommend The Inn and look forward to another stay. Such an amazing place! We just stayed at the Ole Bistro Inn for our anniversary during Memorial Day weekend and it was one of the best places we have ever rented.

Beautiful property! It was clean and nicely decorated. You can tell the owner takes pride in the rooms and cares about his guests. He checked in on us after first night to make sure things were satisfactory. Would highly recommend and planning to be back when the weather is warm!

The martini suite was impressive! Lake Geneva was a fantastic quick mini getaway. However, the Ole Bistro Inn was perfect. I would stay here again and recommend anyone that's traveling to Geneva to do so.
Thanks, Ken

We enjoyed a special birthday in the Bistro Suite at the Ole Bistro Inn for 3 nights the end of September. The weather was cold and rainy but the suite was so special and magical. The fireplace was great in the bedroom and the decor was well thought out. With a fully equipped kitchen we were able to fix some meals and heat up some leftovers. The Great Eggs downstairs made it convenient to get coffee and breakfast. So, even though the weather was not ideal, we totally enjoyed our stay!

My daughter's and I did a girls weekend in Lake Geneva. We stayed at the Inn and couldn't have been more pleased with everything about it and the area. The Inn is right near all the shops, restaurants, beaches and marina. The Garden suite was awesome especially the shower!!! We also enjoyed sitting out on the patio in the mornings for coffee and in the evenings for a glass of wine. Ken was very responsive and you can certainly tell he cares for his guests and wants them to have an enjoyable stay!

We stayed in the Bistro Suite for our Honeymoon. The suite was beautiful and very clean. Loved the huge comfy bed and the huge shower too! Kitchen was fully stocked for cooking or drinking (all types of glassware!). Loved the balcony and the location cannot be beat! Perfect location to walk to everything Lake Geneva has to offer. Great Eggs downstairs serves yummy breakfast and lunches! We highly recommend Ole Bistro Inn and we will definitely come back! Thank you!!

Such an amazing place! We just stayed at the Ole Bistro Inn for our anniversary during Memorial Day weekend and it was one of the best places we have ever rented. The decor of our room and balcony overlooking downtown Lake Geneva was beautiful. You also literally cannot get a better location - one block from the beach/lake and right off main street downtown. Convenience at its best! The room was spacious/clean and Ken was an absolute pleasure to work with as well. We will be returning! Ole Bistro Inn is a hidden gem. :)

We loved our suite. It was very clean, well appointed and comfortable. We cooked several meals in the suite and had everything we needed. The wine, cocktail and beer glasses were great to have. Enjoyed wine and martinis on the large balcony most evenings. Many restaurants within walking distance! We will definitely stay here again!

Very unique sleeping quarters in downtown Lake Geneva. The atmosphere reminds me of new orleans and the location was outstanding.
They have parking in the back and we never used our car for 4 days. Every amenity was within walking distance.
Definitely worth a stay!

Very pleased to recommend Ole Bistro Inn! We decided to take a weekend away from Chicago and were lucky to find the Ole Bistro Inn as an option to stay. Rather than a hotel we wanted a Bed & Breakfast type feel and this was the perfect place! Very close to downtown with an attached breakfast bistro, we spent two lovely mornings enjoying our food and coffee on the porch. I'd like to thank Ken for being so accommodating and delivering a wonderful experience during our visit to Lake Geneva! We will be back!

We wanted to do a little weekend getaway for some R&R and decided to give Lake Geneva a try. We were lucky enough to find this place to stay and enjoyed two nights in the Garden suite. Everything was just great, the setup was perfect for a couple and we were right in the heart of the downtown area short walking distance to restaurants and the lake. We enjoyed coffee and breakfast from the bistro across the hall both mornings, and couldn’t have had a better experience. Many thanks to our host and we look forward to returning in the future !
