The fresh roasted coffee on the front lawn and looking out @ the lake will never be forgotten. Fire Pits at night looking into the sky with the million dollar lake views. The homemade baked goods in the morning reminded me of my grandmas home cooking. I highly recommend this. The owners of this bed and breakfast make you feel at home.

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.

My brother and his wife treated me to a weekend at the Hamilton Inn. (They had stayed there a year…read moreago and raved about it - for good reason!) 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!

I know many of you have never heard of the little town of Milton. But that is where the adventure…read morestarts. It is about an hours drive from Milwaukee. It has that small town atmosphere. There are a few shops and restaurants in the downtown area. When you decide it is getting late and you don't want to drive home. That's where Goodrich Hall steps in. You can rent one of their cozy rooms for the night. While there you can get a history lesson on this 1850's building that has been transformed into Airbnb. Check out the pictures, this place is amazing.

We had spent the weekend at Covington Manor and it was wonderful! My husband, our 2 young kids, and…read moreI enjoyed exploring charming Cambridge during the day and had the best night's sleep in the Dunham Suite. 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.

I do like that it sits right on the dam though, so the window view inside is quite nice. Our waitress seemed to know a lot of the locals by name, and she started us off with waters and saying the special that day was biscuits and gravy. She was extremely friendly and very sweet! I got the half order of biscuits and gravy (as a friend in our party said they were the best). I'm glad I didn't do the full order, because holy cow. I could barely finish the half! The gravy was so creamy and very very delicious. The biscuit underneath was big and freshly homemade. I could eat up a bowl of that gravy just on its own! For $6.95, that was a winner in my book. Our friend got the full order with 3 eggs on top. Even he couldn't finish that! I think it was $8.95. So for a couple bucks more, you can easily make two meals out of the full-size order. Our service was great and the food turned out to be awesome. Like they say - you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. And the same is true for this restaurant. We thanked out waitress on the way out and told the cook we loved his biscuits and gravy. Excellent breakfast after all! FYI - it's CASH ONLY!!!!!

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!

There was also an incident the day before the wedding where they did not want to give us our wedding night suite that was included with our room blocks (the rule is 15 rooms to be booked and a free suite the night of the wedding, and we had all 15 booked). Just general miscommunication that could've easily been solved, we always ended up speaking no with the manager to have things fixed which can be annoying.
