Days here are laid-back and nostalgic, while summer nights bring live music and an energetic, festive vibe. Outdoor lovers will enjoy nearby Geneva State Park for hiking, boating, and beach access. And just a short drive away, downtown Geneva offers local wineries, breweries, and the popular Grape Jamboree each fall.
