Glide across the Chain O'Lakes where waterfront bars serve cold beer alongside live music that continues long after sunset.

The nearby Volo Auto Museum houses an eccentric collection that will fascinate even those who can't tell a carburetor from a catalytic converter. Six Flags Great America offers roller coasters for thrill-seekers, while Chain O'Lakes State Park provides quieter pleasures with hiking trails and wildlife spotting. Petersen Park Beach delivers sandy shores without the Lake Michigan crowds. Locals recommend visiting McCullom Lake when you need a break from Fox Lake's cheerful bustle – the fishing's just as good but the crowds are thinner.

Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Lake Geneva Resort by IHG

8/10 Good

"This is our 2nd time vacationing at the Holiday Inn Vacation club in the Grand Geneva property. Amenities are amazing! Size of rooms and kitchen was perfect. The only drawback I had was that I was given an accessible room (didn’t request one) and the shower didn’t have a glass wall around it, just a curtain so our bathroom was constantly soaking wet. I didn’t like that. Also because it is so damp in there, the molding around shower was not in good shape and the bench in shower needs replaced. Otherwise, we love this property, price and location. Can’t be matched for what you get from it."

Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate based on various factors, including the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year.
