Delavan Lake Resort

I have stayed here many times however the Management personnel at this property are total garbage. The employees at front desk are useless, rude and unhelpful. The cleaning of the common areas and rooms are not sufficient. The units have been horribly maintained and barely have any amenities like dishes /​utensils etc. And the units with ‘upgrades’ means cheap laminate flooring added if that… All this said the pools and game room are great for kids. The grassy area by the lake is nice as well. Much more should be expected for the cost. I would not refer this place to friends.

Wanted a 4 day getaway with young kids that had pool, but could have a one room suite. Picked this spot and was very happy. Front desk staff /​aka maybe owners during the day are very nice. They even upgraded us!!! It was during the week, so not so many people here. Beds, very comfy. Room clean. It is showing its age, so they will need to stay on top of that. Maybe new bed spreads, deck we had needs some work .
Pool is Awesome!!! And right on lake. Indoor and outdoor and hot tub!
Fireplace in living room. Love! Get Lakeview for sure!
Oh…, it has kitchenette, but no stove. That is fine, but next visit I am going to pre make Mac n Cheese to just heat up. There is a toaster. Lots of plates, glasses, plates.
Great vaca, Coming back next summer with a group. We had room 315.

This was a disappointment for the money, which wasn’t cheap. It’s one of those places where satisfaction slides up and down the value scale; had we paid $ 100 a night less, we would’ve overlooked the cracks in the ceiling or stained living room furniture.
Our individually-​owned condo was clean but about as stylish as a Holiday Inn room. There is no stove nor oven to our surprise as we figured cooking in would offset the nearly $ 600 bill for 2 nights (lake view is extra and tax is steep here). There was a full size refrigerator and microwave. I found a plug-​in 2 burner stovetop but no pots nor pans to cook and the outlet near the kitchen counter didn’t work anyway.
The pools and arcade were clean and great for the kids, and the condo itself was clean. I had hoped the lake would be good for swimming but there’s no access from the resort. So you can look at the lake, but you can’t touch it from this Inn. Phooey. The locals we’ve met told us to drive to Lake Geneva 6 miles away if we want to swim as that lake is less weedy and nicer beaches. Lake Delavan has an inferiority complex to Lake Geneva.
Still waiting for the manager to get back to me on «what he can do» in response to our calmly explaining our disappointment… I called him about 21 hours ago.
This gets a 2 instead of a 1 because the grounds and pool area are lovely and well maintained and the condo didn’t feel gross, just overpriced for the experience.
Try Lake Lawn Resort on Delavan Lake or nearby the Abbey in the town of Fontana.

We needed a one-​day getaway stress-​reliever getaway and found this place. With excellent rates during spring break we jumped and tried it and were extremely pleased.

The outside is beautiful! The service was excellent and very friendly! The room and halls were spotless and the wrap around patio is huge! We were not facing the pool.
The cons– the indoor pool and whirlpool were clean and great. The outdoor pool was filled with twenty something’s and lots of drinking in the pool and it was filled with some kind of frothy substance with floaters all over the edge of the pool. It looked like vomit. The water was very foggy and just gross.
This is our first time here, we were so impressed until we went to the outdoor pool.
We will try it again and hope this is just a one time deal.
