A beautiful, peaceful retreat in the Wisconsin countryside and close to charming, history-steeped Mineral Point if one is feeling sociable. Things we especially liked about the house were the delicious bed linens, the wide range of books in the house (many from local authors!), and the overall cozy cabin feeling. Cozy, in this case, is not code for "cramped" -- in fact, it was spacious with lots of light streaming in through the ground floor windows. Coleman was a wonderful host and his years of experience in the hospitality industry are evident in his attention to detail throughout the property. Onhand was a good stash of guides to nearby attractions with emphasis on birding and cycling, regional-focused magazines, and even some homemade jam. We visited in winter and spent our time skiing and snowshoeing around the property, returning to the Inn for a fire and a glass of wine. We will definitely visit again. read more

My husband and I have been at Maplewood for a number of years. It has always been the greatest pleasure to stay there. Both of our children, and their boyriends, have driven up to visit as well. Croquet, long walks, long talks, good food, and peaceful sleep. But Steve misses Lucky (the cat)! This is the best place to be when you need a good hike and some quiet time. I recommend it 5 stars. read more
