Geneva Lake Shore Path

The 21-mile
Geneva Lake shore path allows hikers to literally walk through the back
yards of striking century-old mansions. The path was created by the
region’s earliest settlers who dictated that the 20 feet of land
directly up from the shoreline be deemed public domain. Today, their
edict provides walkers with an unprecedented view of some of the most
beautiful homes and landscaping in the Midwest.

Here are some options that will help you discover the Geneva Lake Shore Path during your visit to Lake Geneva and The Mill Creek Hotel.

phone: (800) 558-5911 or (262) 248-6206

We have a wide variety of options in which walkers
can traverse the shore path and be picked up by one of our boats at
specific points around the lake like Williams Bay or Fontana.  All
walkers requiring pick-up must reserve in advance.  Contact Lake Geneva
Cruise Line for the available dates and options!  The book, “Discover
Lake Geneva” is a pictorial guide to the past and present of Lake
Geneva’s waterfront mansions.  The book is a perfect touring companion
whether you are on one of our boat tours or one of our walking/boat
combo tours.  Books are available in our gift shop as well as several
area merchants and bookstores.

Lake Geneva, Mill Creek Hotel, The Riviera, ready for the season

Lake Geneva Riveria

Lake Geneva Riviera

Here at The Mill Creek Hotel in downtown Lake Geneva, we are looking forward to getting the resort season started and The Riviera fountain is a good sign that it is right around the corner. Come join us for a lively weekend getaway or a fun weekday escape.

The Riviera on the Geneva Lakefront is a well known landmark around here and it beckons visitors to its beautiful fountain.  Enjoy the tranquility of the water and the laughter of children that play around the fountain.

The Mill Creek Hotel is located right in the heart of downtown Lake Geneva.  We truly think that it is the ideal location.  Walk just a short block to Geneva Lake, or in the other direction an even shorter walk to the downtown Lake Geneva Main Street and enjoy all the shops, dining, and gathering places.  Stop at Pop More Corks and treat yourself to a wine tasting and even share a bottle.  Pick up some more to bring back to your Mill Creek Hote suite.  You will find glasses and a wine opener right there in your Mill Creek kitchen.  Enjoy on your patio or on cooler evenings perhaps in front of the fireplace in your suite.

The Lake Geneva Cruise Line has their boats out and schedules posted.  The Riviera is the place to get on board and maybe delight in an ice cream cone while you wait.  Stop by the Mill Creek Hotel front desk and we should have a copy of the current schedule and our guests are also offered a discount on the Cruises.  The Lake Geneva Cruise Line offers varied specialty cruises…from party to ice cream to those paired with Black Point Estate tours.  You are sure to find one that is right up your alley.

Make your reservation at The Mill Creek Hotel in downtown Lake Geneva online at www.MillCreekHotel.com or call 877-MCH-LGWI. We are just a short walk from The Riviera and we look forward to your visit.

Hope you enjoy this collection of “Toasts” for St Patrick’s Day  whether you are raising a glass in Lake Geneva or elsewhere.

Irish Drinking Toasts

May your glass be ever full.
May the roof over your head be always strong.
And may you be in heaven
half an hour before the devil knows you’re dead.Here’s to me, and here’s to you,
And here’s to love and laughter-
I’ll be true as long as you,
And not one moment after.Here’s to you and yours
And to mine and ours.
And if mine and ours
Ever come across to you and yours,
I hope you and yours will do
As much for mine and ours
As mine and ours have done
For you and yours!Health and life to you;
The mate of your choice to you;
Land without rent to you,
And death in Eirinn.

Here’s a toast to your enemies’ enemies!

When we drink, we get drunk.
When we get drunk, we fall asleep.
When we fall asleep, we commit no sin.
When we commit no sin, we go to heaven.
So, let’s all get drunk, and go to heaven!

Here’s to a long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one.
A pretty girl and an honest one.
A cold beer—and another one!

Here’s to our wives and girlfriends:
May they never meet!

Irish Blessings:

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.May you live as long as you want,
And never want as long as you live.Always remember to forget
The things that made you sad.
But never forget to remember
The things that made you glad.Always remember to forget
The friends that proved untrue.
But never forget to remember
Those that have stuck by you.Always remember to forget
The troubles that passed away.
But never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day.May the saddest day of your future be no worse
Than the happiest day of your past.May the roof above us never fall in.
May the friends gathered below it never fall outMay you have warm words on a cold evening,
A full moon on a dark night,
And the road downhill all the way to your door.May there be a generation of children
On the children of your children.

May you live to be a hundred years,
With one extra year to repent!

May the Lord keep you in His hand
And never close His fist too tight.

May your neighbors respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And heaven accept you.

May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.

May your pockets be heavy & your heart be light,
May good luck pursue you each morning & night.

Walls for the wind,
And a roof for the rain,
And drinks beside the fire -
Laughter to cheer you
And those you love near you,
And all that your heart may desire!
