John welcome dust warmly and gave us a thorough tour of our room in the inn before we settled into our space. They were open and friendly in the morning preparing breakfast we could visit with them during their cooking. Service was delightful food was delicious. Thank you John and Karen.
4.8 out of 5October Stay at Bailey House
November 05, 2012
The Bailey house was fantastic, we stayed in the Smythe room which was huge and so comfortable, I loved that the hot tub was in a separate room. The hosts were fantastic and breakfast was great. The location was fabulous- close enough to downtown Lake Geneva to make it easy, yet far enough away to feel like a retreat. We walked down to Geneva Lake and walked on the lakefront path and that was gorgeous. What a fabulous place!

This was our 2nd visit to the Bailey House. We enjoyed the Smythe Suite for the 2nd time. The accommodations were homey, comfortable and cozy. Our tub for two was a soothing pleasure. Our hosts John & Karen made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Karen's breakfasts were delicious and filling. John's directions to all the local events were "spot on." Our stay ended too quickly. We look forward to our next visit! Rod & Shirley

My wife and I stayed here for two nights and we really enjoyed it. The rooms were decorated to feel cozy and warm, and the fireplace and jacuzzi that are available in each and every room were a nice plus! Karen's breakfasts are delicious and John's helpfulness in recommending places to visit was appreciated. Together, they do a fine job of providing hospitality to their guests. I'd recommend this B&B to anyone considering a stay in the Lake Geneva area.

Karen loves serving up her delicious breakfast recipes and her yummy cookies for hungry houseguests. John enjoys telling tall tales…have you heard one about the Capone gang in our garage? With the help of their friendly mascot, “Barney” (a Jack Russell/Beagle chipmunk chaser), they enjoy creating a warm and relaxing atmosphere where guests can rest, relax and regenerate.

October 08, 2012
We were pleasantly surprised when we checked into The Bailey House in Williams Bay, WI recently. John Beckman and "Barney", the dog, greeted us warmly. We were given a quick tour of the main floor and were welcomed and encouraged to help ourselves to things in the kitchen whenever we wanted. Wow. That's a first. Typically the kitchens in B&Bs are off-limits to guests. The home itself is lovely. Warm and inviting. Our room was the Bailey Room, on the first floor. We loved the location and the privacy it provided. We were a little caught off guard by the fact that the room's door doesn't lock with a key! Gave us pause somewhat at first, but then we realized we had nothing to worry about. We really loved the gigantic whirlpool tub in the room. We liked the proximity of the home to all of the touristy sites in Lake Geneva, but really loved the peacefulness and serenity it provided after visiting those sites! A great feeling after visiting Lake Geneva town on a busy Octoberfest weekend. Breakfast was the highlight in more ways than one. Karen made an outstanding breakfast. John did his "famous" muffin demonstration, which is his claim to fame. It is sort of the B&Bs lore, so I won't share what it is. Guests need to find out on their own. The highlight of the breakfast was the warm, engaging, and fun conversations that occurred around the tables in the breakfast room. Karen and John are delightfully funny and kept my husband and I entertained the entire time. Guests were made to feel comfortable. I think the most intimidating part of a stay at a B&B can be the communal dining experience. First timers are usually a bit reticent to engage in conversation with strangers, but Karen and John made that so easy. Great stories, great laughs. The Bailey House is off the beaten path, thankfully, and it feels like home.

9/24 This was our first experience staying at a bread and breakfast. Needless to say, it was great with Karen and John as delightful host and Barney their dog, was there to greet the guest. The rooms were very clean and roomy and you felt very much at home. The breakfast was egg Benedict, fresh fruit, homemade muffins mmmmm It was very good. It was a very pleasant experience and hope to come back in the future. It felt like you were at home, but were away from home.
5 out of 5The Best B & B Experience We've Ever Had!
September 19, 2012
Everything about Bailey House is special. We stayed in the Smythe Suite. The room was wonderfully appointed and very comfortable. The 9am breakfast was to die for! The house is historic and beautiful. But the BEST thing about Bailey House are it's owner/proprietors, John and Karen. They made us so welcome. The breakfast conversations were great fun. We'll be back.
