More to Explore

We like to think of B&B travel as modern-day exploration with a warm bed and hearty breakfast to come back to. So what would you like to explore? We have itineraries built around winery tours, artisan cheese tastings, biking, birding and in the winter there’s cross country skiing. If eco-travel is as important to you as it is to us, then you’ll enjoy visiting these Travel Green Wisconsin-certified properties. We thought an overview by region might be helpful too. Peruse all at your leisure and see what appeals to you.

Artisan Cheese Trail
Wisconsin leads the nation in production of artisan and farmstead cheeses, thanks to the work of master cheesemakers around the state. Carve out a culinary tour based around these small-batch cheese delights.

Birding Trails
Do your spirits soar at the sight of a bald eagle? Or do you prefer the prehistoric look of a sandhill crane? Birding is big in Wisconsin, and there are detailed birding and nature trail maps from the Wisconsin Department of Tourism to prove it. These B&Bs will get you back to nature in a hurry.

Hiking, Biking, and Cross Country Skiing
No time to sit around when Wisconsin’s trails beckon. Map your mode of eco-friendly exploration with a getaway to one of these B&Bs that cater to outdoor enthusiasts.

Travel Green Wisconsin-Certified
The Wisconsin B&B Association is widely considered one of the pioneers of green travel in Wisconsin. If you like to leave a light footprint wherever you go, then refer to this map of our member inns that have been Travel Green Wisconsin certified.

Wisconsin Wine Trail
We may not be Napa Valley, but that doesn’t stop Wisconsinites from producing some pretty incredible wines. Use this map to chart a course for your favorite red or white or sparkling, with notes on the nearest B&Bs.

Regions:

 

Northwest
Lake Superior sea caves and Apostle Islands, lighthouses and shipwreck remains, kayaks and sailboats, these are the images of the Northwest, with a sprinkling of artists’ enclaves to feed the creative side of travelers’ too.

Northeast
The abundance of glacial lakes, rivers for rafting, and national forests with ribbons of trails contribute to the northeast’s reputation as the classic vacation spot in Wisconsin.

Southwest
The Mississippi River with its Great River Road defines so many cities in this corner of the state, as do the many landmarks on the National Register of Historic Places.

Central Sands
An eclectic mix of natural and manmade attractions dominate the center of the state. There’s the Ice Age Trail, sandstone bluffs flanking the Wisconsin River, the deepest lake and the highest ski hill. But you’ll also find the world’s waterpark capital and a city known for antiquing.

Eastern Waters
Here, the Door County peninsula is fondly referred to by many as “the Cape Cod of the Midwest.” Then there’s Green Bay, home to the beloved Packers football franchise and considered a shrine by many Wisconsinites.

Southeast Metro
The state’s largest city, Milwaukee, offers visitors the world’s largest outdoor music festival, an art museum with wings, brewery tours and the Harley-Davidson museum. Forming a halo around this big city are charming towns with tempting shopping finds.

Southern Gateways
Frank Lloyd Wright followers gravitate to this part of the state, as do birders and history buffs. The farmers’ market and art fair on the Capitol Square in Madison are among the best in the country.

Two More B&B Myths to Dispel 02.10.2010
Time to dispel a B&B myth or two.  First, there’s this notion that innkeepers hover. Not true. They are there when you need them, but otherwise keep busy behind the scenes while respecting your privacy. Just like the best five-star hotels. Myth #2: You have to eat breakfast at a communal table. The answer in many cases is no.  Some [...]

Performing Arts Season Is Music To B&Bers Ears 02.10.2010
Seems some of our innkeepers believe in the sound of music to soothe the weary traveler.  There’s a Jazz Brunch at Fountain Chateau B&B in Hustler.  A regular sing-along to benefit local charities at the Audubon Inn in Mayville.  And on-site concerts at the Parsonage B&B in Madison and Tufts’ Mansion in Neillsville. In Green [...]

A comfortable bed is just half of the B&B promise.  The other half is food!  The end of the year brought the second annual Wisconsin B&B cook-off with innkeepers around the state competing for bragging rights.  This year’s featured ingredient was wild rice.  Did you know it’s a grain and tastes incredibly good in both [...]
