🏨 A Look at Other Resorts: Once Accessible, No Longer Fly-In

Over the years, a few other resorts and properties within a 20-mile radius of Lake Geneva explored aviation access—but none have preserved it the way Lake Lawn has.

🔹 Grand Geneva Resort (formerly the Playboy Club Hotel – Lake Geneva, WI)

In the 1960s–1980s, this was the destination for glamour and exclusivity. The adjacent Lake Geneva Airport (XES) welcomed private aircraft until its closure. Today, Grand Geneva remains a premier resort—but it no longer offers airfield access to guests.

🔹 The Abbey Resort (Fontana, WI)

A cherished destination on Geneva Lake, The Abbey never had its own airport but was once easily reached via small nearby airstrips like Big Foot Airfield. Those have since closed, and today’s guests must rely on car travel.

🔹 Geneva Ridge Resort (Lake Geneva, WI)

Nestled along the tree-lined hills near the lake, Geneva Ridge has always catered to upscale visitors, but never offered aviation access. Like most area properties, guests must drive in via highway or shuttle.

🛬 Why Lake Lawn Is Still Standing—and Soaring

Lake Lawn Resort’s commitment to maintaining its own airport sets it apart not just in the Lake Geneva area but across the Midwest. We’ve preserved this unique amenity while others have phased it out due to liability, cost, or land-use changes. Our paved and lighted runway continues to welcome pilots and travelers year-round.

We provide:

  • Self-serve fueling
  • Tie-downs and apron parking
  • Direct resort access without transportation hassles
  • Friendly staff experienced in aviation hospitality

Whether you’re flying in a Cirrus, a Bonanza, or a business jet, Lake Lawn’s airstrip is open and waiting.
