The Sunday omlette is a must if you're staying. The location is great for proximity to town, but the house is so nice you may not want to leave! And definitely make time to watch the sun rise or set out the windows or while enjoying some time on the balcony. I would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat, and recommend it to anyone staying in the area. It trounces a hotel any day.

I was looking for a place to spend the night in Lake Mills and the choices seemed pretty limited…read more Luckily I found Sweet Autumn Inn. My stay was for a single night in July 2011. I booked The Everson Room. The house is easy to find as it is right on the main road south of town. It was set far enough back though, so traffic noise was not a problem. Guest parking is in the rear of the house. The guest entrance is in the front. So you get to go for a short walk to get from one to the other. After ringing the doorbell, we were met at the front door by Terri, the innkeeper. She cheerfully got us checked in and gave a quick tour of the house. The house smelled of baking cookies. Sweet Autumn Inn is much smaller than some of the bed and breakfasts that I have stayed at, but let's just call it cozy. It felt very intimate, like I was visiting my mother's house. There are only 3 guest rooms, so it is not like the place was crawling with people. During my stay I only saw one other couple and that was at breakfast. The Everson room was lovely. It was tastefully decorated with just enough old fashioned charm to make you feel comfortable without feeling like you were in an old antique store. There was enough room to move around, but not a lot. The attached bathroom was clean, but basic. It didn't really match the character of the rest of the room. The bed was very comfortable and I slept wonderfully. The room came with its own window unit A/C and a ceiling fan so I was able to get the temperature to be just what I wanted. There was not a TV in the room. This was not a big deal to me, but some people need one. (There was a TV downstairs in a common room.) I didn't spend a lot of time in the house because we had plans to visit Tyranena Brewing. It turns out that when Terri is not running her wonderful B&B, she works part-time for Tyranena. She was very enthusiastic about the beer and gave us some tips before we headed out. Breakfast was served promptly at 9AM in the dining room. Terri had asked us the day before if we had any dietary restrictions or special requests. Since we are not picky eaters, we assured her that we would love whatever she served. Breakfast was delicious. There was a selection of juices and coffee. We started with some fresh berries and a dollop of honey yogurt. Then a hazelnut pastry, before jumping into the main course which was some kind of multilayer baked version of french toast with bits of ham in it. We ended our stay by chatting with Terri about beer, the house and Lake Mills in general. She was a very engaging host, which always makes a B&B stay even better. Overall, I would definitely recommend Sweet Autumn Inn and I know where I will be staying the next time I am in Lake Mills.

Our room was cozy with a fireplace and AC unit. I loved the decor and the access to a guest fridge (great to store medication or snacks). We got into town late and had trouble with the closed main road but Teri's help got us there easily, and she even gave us some late night dinner recommendations. Perfect short visit for a mini getaway. Hope to visit again soon.

Like so many, my wife and I were ready for a respite from our COVID-19 exile. Two nights at the…read moreelegant Hamilton House was just what the doctor ordered! Built in the 1860s and a stop on the Underground Railroad, the spacious, high-ceilinged HH exudes history and charm. Innkeeper and owner Gloria Buley greeted us warmly; I like to think I could see her smile through the surgical mask she was wearing. Our well-appointed room had a comfy king bed and a recently remodeled en suite. The wardrobe contained two plush bathrobes; a small table held bottles of Perrier, chocolates, fresh flowers, and two surgical masks. Like our room, the inn's common areas are immaculate and tastefully furnished with period antiques and Oriental rugs. Our two breakfasts were highlights! Gloria's a CIA culinary school grad and it shows. Fresh-squeezed OJ, omelettes, French toast, baked apples, sausages, Canadian bacon--whew, I don't eat nearly this well at home. Breakfast was also a chance to get to know Gloria. A recent transplant from Woodstock, NY, she purchased the Hamilton House weeks before the coronavirus shut down the world. I'd be down in the dumps, but Gloria seems indefatigable and is using the time to, among other things, install a garden walk that will pay homage to the nearby Birge Fountain, circa 1903. We're already looking forward to our next visit! A tip: One of Wisconsin's best supper clubs, the Duck Inn in Delavan, is a 15-minute drive from the HH.

This gorgeous 1861 mansion is exquisite, perfect down to the last detail. The multi-course breakfasts, created by innkeeper (and Culinary Institute-trained chef) Gloria, were off-the-charts delicious and kept my belly full til dinnertime, even after a day spent hiking the gorgeous Kettle Moraine. I slept deeply on the luxurious comfy bed, but I'd eat saltine crackers and sleep on a cot to hear Gloria's stories! Gloria has a talent for being present but never intrusive. She'll give you a house tour with fascinating tidbits (from John Belushi to the Underground Railroad!) but ask about her journey from Woodstock NY to Whitewater WI for a rollicking story with a happy ending!

The beds were extremely comfortable, the temperature was perfect, and the rooms were dark and quiet so we could all sleep in. We enjoyed coffee and the gorgeous front porch, and breakfast inside surrounded by the beautiful details of the impeccably decorated interior. The hosts are so welcoming and you can tell they are truly in their element. Covington Manor is only about 30 min from Madison, so we were also able to enjoy the city before heading home. I highly recommend Covington Manor for anyone who needs to unwind and relax. It would also be great for someone who wants to explore Madison but sleep in the quiet comfort of a quaint town.

All the hotels in Madison were booked up for Iron Man so I gambled on this place since it has such good reviews and it exceeded the hype. Booking over the phone was easy, they accommodated our request for later breakfasts since we were out late each night for wedding festivities. The decor was charming and it was very clean. We stayed in the oppressive heat of July but our room stayed comfortable with AC and a ceiling fan running. But the best part of all was the food; Jeff is an incredible cook who prepared gourmet level breakfasts for us each morning, they were seriously delicious. Also they left cookies and wine for us each night in our room which was a lovely touch. I would absolutely stay here again!

Now that my wife and I are officially retired, we wanted to invite my brother and sister along with their spouses to come. We decided to come on Saturday when they were celebrating Scandinavian heritage. We arrived right when they opened and stayed until they closed. Overall we had a good time and my wife and I noticed many new improvements that were added since the last time we came. There were a couple of items that I wanted to share by email to the staff at OWW both positive and helpful criticism. Since it was somewhat crowed that day one of the items related to how they operate their tram schedule and the other item had to do with their food service (they could not keep up with the line). I sent my email to the main one. No response. Sent it a second time and they follow up that they didn't get it. I asked if they had specific emails to the guest services staff and she gave me those emails and I wrote them both. No response. I even included my phone number. I emailed the original email again and she said she would get it to them herself. Still no response. I gave up after that. I have been in guest service for most of my life and would value feedback good and bad. That's how you improve. Would I still go back - probably. I am just disappointed that they were not willing to follow up with me. OWW has a lot of great history to learn about WI etc. My only suggestion would be not to go if there are large crowds. BG
