"We were in town for our honeymoon, and didn't even know all of this happened here in Lake Geneva. I've been gaming since I was around 10 and would have been happy with just a picture from the sidewalk. Yolanda was leaving and noticed us. Took our pictures for us and gave us a quick history lesson for about 15 minutes on here way out! Super awesome and super unexpected! Thanks Yolanda!!!!"
"We are a Canadian family on a year long trip that will bring us across the Americas. We stopped at Lake Geneva to visit Gary Gygax's home, where he created the D&D game as a young man and established the TSR company. A modest little house owned by a charming lady, Yolanda, who had no idea of the house's past when she bought it. You can rent the place with your D&D party to play in there (totally cool) but in our case we just wanted to have a look (I am not travelling with my D&D party!). She kindly agreed to allow us in and around the house, which has been kept in its original state. Yolanda shared with us some interesting information about GG and his family. I organized a zoom session with my D&D friends so they can do the visit with me and my family. A must see for any D&D fan! Make sure you grab a tshirt while you are there!"
"This place is amazing. Yolanda was so wonderful to my brother, who has autism, and is a huge DND fan. We didn’t schedule a visit like we should have. We didn’t have any cash like we should have. We just stopped by unannounced in the middle of her lunch, construction and she had visitors. She gave my brother a memory of a lifetime. Thank you Yolanda."
"I was in Lake Geneva with family and decided to stop here as part of a Dungeons and Dragons "pilgrimage". The homeowners were very nice and gave us a tour of the house *and* a free T-shirt!"
"We had a great time playing D&D at the birthplay! The hostess was great and we all enjoyed the experience! We also stayed in the house adjacent and found it to be very clean and comfortable!"
