There are cities next to all of these lakes, though they are not very large. The one exception being the city named Lake Geneva, which is named after the lake on the west side of town, Geneva Lake.

The Belfry House has not been around for very long. In fact, The Belfry House has only been around for about seven months. The manager has been working at the house since the first day it opened.

Though The Belfry House is less than a year old, the building itself has been around a little longer. Before it was a hotel for guests to rent out, the property was used by the Belfry Players. The Belfry Players is a company of theatre and acting.
Due to the fact that they are still a much newer business, they have a number of plans for the future to improve the building and make it better for guests that visit. The patio is still in construction, although it is set to be finished in the near future. There are also plans for The Belfry House to install a brand new kitchen area. The idea behind this new kitchen is that it will be accessible and able to serve the outside patio. That way, guests will not have to go between the indoor kitchen and the terrace.
