Short Description
  • Enjoy a look inside this historic estate! Black Point Estate was built for Chicago Beer Baron Conrad Seipp in 1888 as a retreat, and in that spirit the home remains a place to relax, refresh, and explore. Just like the Victorian VIPs who established the estate, you’ll arrive in style and enjoy stunning Geneva Lake views on your cruise to this magnificent mansion, considered one of the finest examples of period architecture and furniture in the Midwest, and one of the oldest homes in Lake Geneva. 
  • After a 45-minute narrated boat tour from Lake Geneva to Black Point, visitors will take a guided tour of the first two floors of the mansion and the exterior grounds which will last approximately 1½ hours. The return trip to Lake Geneva by boat will also include a narrated tour.
  • Relax and enjoy all the scenic beauty of Lake Geneva as you cruise around the entire lake. Hear a captivating and historical live narration of the beautiful mansions that line the shore, some dating back to as early as 1873.
