Golden Oaks Mansion is a symbol of luxury since the 1850s. People are still living like royalty at the Golden Oaks Mansion in Lake Geneva. These days the lucky occupants are guests at the luxury bed-and-breakfast, instead of members of the Chicago elite who once spent summers here. Surrounded by centuries-old oaks and a short jaunt from the lake, here is where you'll find a stunning and often overlooked Lake Geneva landmark.
