Circa 1900. Escape to this Victorian treasure located in the Hidden Valleys of Southwestern Wisconsin. This area is considered to be the Bicycling Capital of America and the famous Elroy-Sparta state biking trail is nearby. Relax with a book and a homemade treat from the bottomless cookie jar. In the early evening, enjoy a wine and cheese reception. Guest bedrooms are elegant and spacious retreats. After a scrumptious full breakfast, adventures await. Explore Amish country, go hiking, experience Warren Cranfest, cranberry harvesting and an abundance of water and snow sports. This all-season inn offers year-round activities. Ask about Murder Mystery Weekends. Bike storage and shuttles are provided.
