I love the history of Delavan Lake and the large rambling Lake Lawn resort has a big history too. Everything was convenient. Parking, food, lovely lake front. My room had a back door to the lawn. I got lost a couple times but found maps and people to set me straight. Staying at Lake Lawn is something of a time warp vacation and very lovely, unique, memorable, and mid west. Great for whole families making new memories!

“What a disappointment”

We were disappointed in this well-known resort where my husband’s family used to vacation regularly. First, all of the front desk staff appeared to be trainees who weren’t quite sure what they were doing. We had paid extra for a room in the Lakeside Lodge which advertises “spectacular views” from its rooms. Well – most of our view was of a grassy hill; if we went 10 feet out from our cobweb-filled patio, we could just catch a glimpse of the lake. When we complained, we were told that they could move us to another room with a better view, but that it would cost us $70/night more. We pointed out that we had already paid extra for a room with a view, and after calling in another staff member (who was quick to tell us she wasn’t a manager), we got another room without paying extra, but it took about 40 minutes as we waited and waited for the staff to discuss this – behind closed doors. The new room was quite large, and had a lovely view out over the lake. But there was peeling paint and nails pops in the walls, as well as what appeared to be bird poop on the wall close to the sliding doors. There was no handle on the screen door and the door and screen were both filthy. Then we discovered that there were 2 very large deposits of bird poop out on the patio. Looking up we discovered a bird’s nest in the rafters, filled with eggs that hatched overnight. This pretty much made the patio unusable. In the big bathroom there was good counter space for toiletries and an adequate amount of towel bars/hooks, but the shampoo bottle was empty. Towels were OK, the bed linens were lovely. We never did get the floor fan we had requested at the time we made our reservation. The resort has beautiful grounds and a lovely setting on the lake, but the windows throughout were pretty grimy and needed a good washing. As for the restaurants – we were at the Lookout Bar twice – once for drinks and once for lunch. They were out of at least half of the beers on their draft menu and the hamburger was about the size of a small McDonald’s burger, and about 10 times the price. Service was a mixed bag – mediocre for drinks and pretty good for lunch. We had a lovely dinner at 1878 on the Lake, but our server had absolutely no idea how to open a wine bottle, nor how to pour from it once it was finally opened. All in all, it was a rather disappointing stay and we’ll probably look elsewhere next time we’re in the area.
