​Chippewa Resort History
Chippewa Resort was built in the 1950s by Louie and Mildred Bartos. In the years that followed, they became friends with Jim Maiers, an Illinois donut shop owner who often vacationed in Lake Geneva with his family. After falling in love with the area, Jim expressed interest in purchasing the resort if Louie ever chose to sell.
In the early 1970s, the property was sold to the Maiers family. Jim and his wife, Nancy, ran Chippewa Resort for the next forty years, living in the main house and raising their four daughters—turning the resort into not just a business, but a family legacy.
