"Spectacular Photos of Outstanding Homes. This 'Distinctive Homes of America® - Lake Geneva, Wisconsin' is an entrancing coffee table book that keeps the reader turning page after page.” - James Gallen – Vine Voice
“Author Glenn D. Hettinger has chosen 56 spectacular lakefront homes to illustrate the architectural marvels that grace the Lake Geneva community. A home’s section contains descriptions from owners, architects as well as a table listing the years of construction and remolding, square footage, architects, interior designer, style, general contractor, windows, docks and the photographer, who is frequently the author. Hettinger sprinkles his “awards” for distinctive features among the featured properties.”
“The narrative is nice, but the photos are spectacular!
Exterior and interior, lake views, docks, kitchens, dens, baths and bedrooms will command your admiration.
I have never visited Lake Geneva or walked its 21-mile lakeside path but can relate to this book because of the comparison to homes in Door County. I was surprised that most of the featured homes were built or remolded within the past 15 years but there has been a lot of construction in the Door also. I enjoyed the book and it has kindled an interest in seeing the real thing.”
"Such a Fun and Useful Book. This handsome, heavy book has gorgeous photography
and a wide variety of homes included. For each distinctive home, there are multiple exterior and interior shots. There is also a description and sources chart that tells you when the house was built, its square footage, who the architect was, the builder, the designers, etc. A wide variety of styles are represented here; there is a house for everyone... at least in pictures!” - Vizzitopia.
“There are so many reasons to love this beautiful coffee table book! My family and I live in Ponte Vedra Beach and have only seen most of these homes from the outside. To be able to more than sneak a peek, but to see the main rooms dressed for the occasion is huge fun!! The design ideas alone make this book a tremendous pleasure to own.”
“Glenn has worked with me on several projects for our construction firm. He is always professional, organized, and flexible with any scheduling challenges we may have. Most importantly, with Glenn's architectural background, he has a keen eye for capturing the best details of a space. His images are always dynamic, powerful and do a phenomenal job of highlighting the project. I strongly recommend Glenn and look forward to continuing to work with him on future projects.” - George Arco, Marketing Manager - Auld & White Constructors - Jacksonville, FL.
