I did not expect the owners to treat me and my wife like honored guests in their own home, but that's how it is. Very interesting husband and wife team who are very skilled at making a rich experience and tailoring the visit to your interests. The coolest part of the stay for me were the happy hours that Dave hosted. We had a lot of fun swapping stories with Dave and other guests who were also up for some good drinks. Breakfast was also pretty awesome. The manor is a beautiful campus that exceeds the verbal description and pictures. Lots of richness in the back story can be gleaned from conversation with Dave. To be honest, we werent looking for a bed and breakfast or a resort like retreat since we came to do some hiking, do some leaf peeping, and do some tourist stuff with a friend. By the time check out came around, we wished we budgeted more time relaxing at the manor. Definitely plan to book here again next time we do a Wisconsin vacation.

It was very charming and well appointed. I loved the binoculars that were in all the rooms so you could watch the birds and other wild life on the grounds. There was also a hydro spa tube in the private bathroom which was so relaxing. Overall a fabulous place for a getaway! This was an amazing girls weekend! We are planning on returning next year!

We stayed for a long weekend, and and it was the perfect location to get away. The rooms are all themed so when you call to reserve you can pick from the rooms they have available.

Right outside your door they have chairs and tables for enjoying the beautiful weather. They also have grills and an area for bonfires. I was only able to go to the communal area/lobby for the first morning as it was soon closed as they were started to do contactless check in/out. But it seems as though in less COVID-y times they have some coffee or tea there, light breakfast items like mini muffins or breakfast bars and fruit. They also had a communal puzzle and board games. Overall the place is super cozy, perfectly situated for a relaxing vacation with a number of restaurants and small shops to visit in Baraboo.

An interesting story goes along with this modestly sized design by Frank Lloyd Wright. The Seth…read morePeterson Cottage is nestled in a Wisconsin woodland, overlooking Mirror Lake, as a part of the Mirror Lake State Park. The history of the cottage reads like a Shakespearean tragedy, although it does have a happy conclusion. Seth Peterson was born in Black Earth, Wisconsin, not far from Frank Lloyd Wright's hometown of Richland Center, Wisconsin. Peterson was a great admirer of FLW, he would even ride the train to Oak Park to walk the streets to study the great man's works. He went so far to apply to Taliesin as an apprentice but there was no room for him. After a hitch in the army, Peterson became one of the first computer operators for the State of Wisconsin. He bought a plot of land on Mirror Lake and began to bug FLW to design a home for him and his bride. Wright always brushed him off because of workload. Peterson, though, knowing Wright was always short of cash, shrewdly sent him a check for $1,000.00 that Wright immediately cashed. FLW was then obligated to design the house Peterson wanted for his Mirror Lake property. The cottage reflects FLW's philosophy that a building should be a part of the land. Flagstones lead up to the door and continue into the house as the floor. The flying roof opens a marvelous view of nature and the cottage feels much larger than its 880 square feet. Wright died before construction of the cottage was completed. Sadly, the untimely death of Seth Peterson, at the age of 24, also occurred before the cottage was completed. In 1966, the State of Wisconsin bought up land around Mirror Lake for a state park and the cottage was a part of the purchase. With no purpose, the cottage was declared superfluous and boarded up. The years were not kind to the cottage. In 1989, a group of local enthusiasts formed the Set Peterson Cottage Conservancy in 1989 for the express purpose of preserving the structure. The Conservancy signed a 15-year renewable lease with the Department of Natural Resources, which oversees the state park system. To help defer the cost overruns, and to make the cottage a self-supporting entity, the cottage is available for rent, one of several Wright properties you can stay in but it is usually fully booked years in advance. It is not a resort or traditional hotel, there is no television, no radio, and no WiFi. You stay there to honor FLW and appreciate his interaction with nature. The cottage is open to tours, for a nominal fee, on the second Sunday of each month.

Let's get this straight, the building is wonderful. It is the ONLY place to rent a FLW building…read more That alone makes it a gem. Now for the business end, the building has a two year wait and is not cheap per night. Therefore I was expecting at least basic facilities for the price point. There is little more than a few cooking supplies, dishes, sheets for the bed and towels. To call it scarce would be generous. It could use some decorating, period pictures show some great ways to make it comfortable. The furniture was build during the remodel and was 'Frank inspired'. It sucks. The most uncomfortable furniture I have ever used. This place could be an absolute pleasure. Too many things make it miss that mark.

Walking into the brewery was awesome, such a cool place and quite large. The girl at the spot were I believe you can order food wasn't too friendly but the bartender was awesome! Bartender was super friendly, I wish I could remember his name. We told him how we were looking for things to do and he was more than happy to write down some recommendations for us. I thought that was super nice because I feel like sometimes, at least in the Dells area, it seems like they get tired of us tourists and aren't always as friendly as I feel they should be considering they know they're working in a tourist area. We happened to be sitting next to the lady that does the tours so we thought, awesome, we love seeing old buildings and hearing the history so we signed up! It's $20 per person and about 50-60 mins. It was super cool to see, informative, the lady was friendly, and answered any questions we had. It was pretty amazing to hear that people actually live on the 4th floor, I wasn't expecting that for some reason. After the tour was over she played the large organ for us which was great. We sat down for another beer, listened to the awesome music the bartender was playing and set up our next tour at the Driftless Glen distillery. This was on our list plus it was one of the recommendations from the bartender. If your in the area and looking for something different to do, I highly recommend checking this place out!
