Your Hosts Anthony & Diane Tamel

About The Hosts
We are Anthony and Diane Tamel and have lived in the Milwaukee area all of our lives. We have been blessed to raise 3 amazing children who are now married have given us 7 grandchildren and now a great-granddaughter.

Diane and I spent most of our working lives serving at Parkway Church in Oak Creek, WI  in a pastoral role. As of 2018 we have retired from our local church duties and now help other pastors in and outside of the USA with small group leadership training. 

We enjoy spending time at the Grand Geneva Resort; sort of a home away from home.

Why Anthony Tamel chose Lake Geneva

Having grown up close to Lake Geneva we were familiar with its history, beauty, charm, along with the plethora of activities to do there.  Lake Geneva is one of the best known year-round vacation towns in Wisconsin for over a century since it is a short drive from Chicago

or Milwaukee. Its historic homes and buildings grace the area, along with contemporary shops, restaurants, galleries, and fun-filled activity venues. Many of my guests till take the lake cruise to get a tour of all of the stately homes along the lake. There are places for renting boats if you wish to be involved in water sports.We have found the business owners, and the general public friendly and accommodating because they want you to return to their great South Eastern community. The town is safe for all guests.

The other reason for choosing Lake Geneva is the Resort that is located there.  What once was the remarkable Playboy Club in the 1970s was transformed into one of only 5 4-Diamond AAA resort in the state of Wisconsin, and the finest resort South Eastern Wisconsin.  Given an opportunity to own property on the resort grounds for the use of our family and guests was an easy decision for us to make. We made the purchase in 2002.  People have loved coming to Lake Geneva and staying at our villas where they have enjoyed all of the wonderful amenities the town and resort have have to offer.

What makes this Villa unique

Anyone who stays at the Grand Geneva Resort only regrets not staying longer because there is so much to do at the resort including, indoor and outdoor pools, water park, tennis, rock climbing, horseback riding, golf, skiing, biking, hiking, a fitness center with the state of the art equipment, restaurants, and even a Starbucks coffee shop, to name just a few things.

The comfortable spacious accommodation of the villas are wonderful and kept up by the resort. If there is every a need for towels or having a meal brought to the villa, one only needs to pick up the phone.

There is free transportation around the vast resort by a "old fashioned" looking trolley which circles through the resort every 20 minutes. You will need transportation to the down-town area which is only two miles away. The Grand Geneva resort is the closest resort to downtown Lake Geneva.
