Absolutely love this place! Very classy and very surprising they aren't busier than they are. It…read morewas fun having a drink and just hanging out. There is an older jukebox available to play music, and the sound in that place was really great. They were closed during the pandemic I believe, but now they are open again. A week after we visited there someone vandalized the back or side of the building with graffiti, which is unfortunate! It's a swank place, and I hope that more people realize just how much fun it is to be there. The seats seem kind of retro and has a lot of big wide curves to it. I hope that the musty smell can get cleared out somehow because that's a little overwhelming, but I think it's just from being closed up for so long. We will definitely be back! Bummed I didn't take pictures, but I'll definitely update with pictures when we go back!

This place rules! I got to go here and have an afternoon…read morebeer for a panel at the Midwest Music Fest! The bar is just amazing looking! Elements of retro classic-ness mixed with modern touches make it really unique and quite inviting to my eyes! Killer large booths, and one beautiful long bar makes the bar the place to be. Go through a door and the next thing you know you are in a beautiful theater.. This is the perfect place to hang out and see a band play! I had a brew from the great selection and the bartender was super nice and told us about the place! Sounds like it might only be open for shows and weekends but If I lived here I I would come to hang out all the time! This is a cool bar amongst the coolest bars I have ever been in and I was here at 4 in the afternoon! I bet it gets really awesome at 10pm!

I first stumbled upon this place in December of 2018. My wife and I had just gotten married at the…read morecourthouse in Mauston, we were staying at the Best Western for 5 or so days and didn't have the budget for an elaborate honeymoon. So we went down to the lounge to have some drinks and celebrate the start of our lives together. We were greeted by a truly friendly bartender and a small handful of locals and passerbys. Everyone there was more then happy to join in on the celebrating the occasion with us. Fast forward 3 years to today, we are back in Mauston visiting family and decided to stop into the Emerald Lounge and reminisce on our first night in here 3 years ago as newlyweds. Different Bartender, different faces, same friendly environment. I can not recommend this place enough.

This place is pretty nice. It's the 3rd time we have been here. Drinks are cold they have a bunch…read moreof TVs and something different on each one. The pizzas are very good here! We were there for the weekend staying at the Best Western attached on a Friday and Saturday. We loved the first bartender we had Connie on Friday she was very friendly and nice to everyone she was great. She always has been a good bartender every time we have been there and she was there we were excited to still see her there. Not so much with the next person that came in I'm pretty sure she has never bartended before and could use a course on customer service. We were not at all impressed with her. She was working on Saturday night when we went back up there. We thought we would give her another chance that lasted about an hour and we went somewhere else in town. They need to look at getting a different bartender before they lose more customers. We won't be going there when she is working if we do decide to go back.

First, this may have been a very atypical day for the owner, but we never felt comfortable from the…read moretime we arrived until we left at this B&B. The grounds and the house were very clean and nice, but the owner greeted us in a very cold manner, and we felt like we had to walk around on eggshells around her. Maybe it was just us. To be fair to the owner, we did arrive 30 minutes before check-in as we were on the road all day and simply wanted to walk the grounds rather than drive around for 30 minutes more. The owner was not pleased at all that we were early even though we just wanted to park the car and not check-in. She made it very clear multiple times how this was an inconvenience to her. Again, this may have been a really off day for her as others were happy during their multiple stays there. But to be fair to us, we felt a B&B should be a warm welcoming place and we did not feel this way at all.

Tucked away in a bright, verdant, corner of the Driftless Region in the American Midwest, the…read moreSilver Star Inn is a retreat like no other for travelers to Spring Green, Wisconsin. This bed and breakfast is a peaceful setting with comfortable rooms, gracious hosts, and delicious food. The location is a few short miles of scenic pastoral landscape from Spring Green. The only traffic we experienced was a tractor on its way to a family farm. Once there, you can hear the cicadas, crickets, and birds along with the breeze blowing through the nearby trees. There are walking paths with butterflies and other wildlife to see. It is an edenic setting that will refresh your soul. Our room, called "The Secret Hideaway," was tucked away on the lower level with two entryways, one leading out to a spacious patio. The room itself had a couple full beds and a futon. The bathroom is good sized with a nice shower. There is a TV we never turned on, but I'm confident it would work if anyone required screen time (I did not). There are dehumidifiers, fans and other devices that made the room extremely comfortable despite temperatures in the 90's while we were there. Your hosts, Elise and Kevin, are welcoming and give you a quick "lay of the land" upon arrival. There is a refrigerator for you to store your refreshments, but they provide wonderful baked goods, lemonade, iced tea (we came for Labor Day weekend) and other items in the small community kitchenette. There are plenty of comfortable sofas, chairs and other amenities that have been thoughtfully laid out for guests who are just relaxing on site. You'll see Kevin around the property during the day, and busily feeding guest at breakfast as he is the main chef. Elise greets you, shows you around, and introduces you to the ensemble cast of animals such as the family dog, chickens, and hummingbirds. Almost immediately, you feel welcomed. As you can see from the pictures, the food is as visually appealing as it is appetizing. Fresh fruit, vegetables grown on site and eggs from the resident chickens combine for a great meal to start your day. Everything was delicious and you are served at your table with plenty of coffee and juice available. Outstanding! If you are going to American Players Theater for shows, checking out the local art and music scene, taking in the beauty of southwestern Wisconsin, or checking out the home and inspiration of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the Silver Star Bed and Breskfast Inn is a excellent choice for your lodging needs.
