Stewart Inn

Located in the Andrew Warren Historic District, the Stewart Inn offers upscale accommodations and a gourmet breakfast in an authentic National Register Arts and Crafts masterpiece. Public rooms on the first floor retain the incredible architectural detail created 100 years ago by Chicago architect, George W. Maher, a contemporary and associate of Frank Lloyd Wright. The second floor serves as an exclusive five-room boutique hotel where the owners take pride in providing guests with the highest level of personal service. Each of the newly renovated guest rooms has an ensuite bath and tasteful combination of modern amenities and historic charm, sure to please even the most discriminating travelers. The Inn is fully equipped for the business traveler and offers a comfortable, secure alternative to conventional lodging. If you're traveling with a dog, you'll find the accommodations extremely pet-friendly.

WAUSAU ATTRACTIONS: The Stewart Inn is located in downtown Wausau’s historic River District. A short walk from the Inn are shops and restaurants, the Grand Theater which hosts a variety of live performances, and the Center for the Visual Arts gallery all nestled around a lively town square. The Inn is two blocks from an excellent YMCA and five blocks from the Wisconsin River walking path and whitewater kayak course. At the top of East Hill is the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, known for its annual Birds in Art exhibit. Five miles from the Inn, sports enthusiasts will find Granite Peak ski area, Rib Mountain State Park and the Mountain Bay bike trail. Less than ten miles from the Inn, Nine Mile Forest attracts hikers, mountain bikers and cross county skiers.

LOCATION: Wausau is in the middle of Wisconsin at the junction of Hwy 29 and Hwy 51/I39. Although a destination in itself, Wausau also makes a great stopover when traveling between Minneapolis/St Paul and Green Bay/Door County or between Chicago and Bayfield or the upper peninsula of Michigan.
