Our story
Family owned & operated
since 2017.
Family owned and operated since 2017, you can find The Boat House nestled on the far Eastern Shore of Geneva Lake next to Big Foot Beach State Park. Serving quality interpretations of classic American dishes in an unmatched setting.
Our interior reflects the sophisticated sensibilities of the surrounding area while also paying tribute to Lake Geneva's storied past. The restaurant offers the choice to take in the gorgeous view of Buttons Bay from our spacious deck, or cozy up to the wrap-around bar with a craft beer to watch the game. With access from the water and ample parking, there is no better spot to grab a bite on Geneva Lake.
Join us year round for a drink, a meal and the best sunset this side of paradise.
American cuisine, a foundation for tradition — right on the water.

“We had drinks and appetizers here on the outside patio while we watched the sunset. It was beautiful! And after the sun went down and there was a chill in the air our server brought out lap blankets for us! That was a first! And a very nice touch!!”
“Stopped for a drink and loved the views from the outdoor patio. Great beer selection. Food looked good will give it a try next visit!”
