The A-frame has been part of the lake’s landscape for more than sixty years. Behind it is a long history of weekends away, family vacations and reasons to return.

About this concept

One reason to visit.
A whole stay to plan.

The starting point is a simple question: “What brings you to Lake Geneva?” A guest planning a family trip needs a different starting point from someone booking a weekend for two.

This concept carries that choice into the photography and recommendations. Rooms, restaurants, the spa and activities become parts of the same stay, while the resort’s existing reservation systems handle the bookings.

I grew up near Lake Geneva and now work in New York. My experience includes creative work for Amazon and The New York Times.
