About The Company
Lake Lawn Resort's 275 wooded acres are situated along two miles of beautiful Delavan Lake shoreline. Founded in 1878, we have been one of Wisconsin’s most popular and historic destinations for both leisure and business travelers alike. With a rich history of traditional Wisconsin hospitality, Lake Lawn Resort provides a virtually endless array of fun and exciting activities. From cozy romantic getaways and full-fledged family outings to memory-making meetings and special events, Lake Lawn Resort offers something special for everyone. We are just a short drive from Chicago and it's suburbs, Milwaukee, Madison, and other areas of the midwest, and only twelve miles west of Lake Geneva. We are a big resort that has all the charm, comfort and attentive service of a small inn. What makes Lake Lawn Resort in Delavan, Wisconsin such a desirable destination is the wide variety of leisure and recreational opportunities. First opened in 1921, Lake Lawn’s championship golf is one of the Midwest’s premier golf destinations. Set amid over 250 lush, tree-lined acres, the course was masterfully re-engineered in 1990 by renowned architect Dick Nugent, and is best known for its stately oaks, deep sand bunkers and subtle undulations. Our newly remodeled 9,000-square-foot Calladora Spa is one of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin area’s most relaxing and unique spas. It's perfect for private gatherings, retreats, bachelorette and bridal parties, and is a perfect compliment to meetings and corporate events.
