Figuring out your lodging is sometimes just as tricky as deciding where exactly you want to vacation in the first place. Thankfully, there are gorgeous and charming B&Bs located throughout the state, all with their own charm and uniqueness.
Lots of Luxury
The Inn at Wawanissee Point in Baraboo is no ordinary bed and breakfast. This villa is both modern and luxurious and provides enchanting vistas thanks to the 42 wooded acres that surround the estate. When you first enter the Inn's contemporary sitting area, you'll notice richly detailed oak and warm cedar surrounding a fireplace and baby grand piano. Each guest room includes a private bath, TV and plush robes - plus, you can take advantage of a sauna, hot tub or schedule your own in-room massage. Sounds heavenly, doesn't it?

A Romantic Getaway
Whether you're planning your wedding or just in need of a romantic weekend away with your better half, B&Bs are the perfect home away from home. The Old Rittenhouse Inn in Bayfield offers a plethora of romantic backdrops to exchange or renew your vows. Consider the music room, the carved oak staircase in the foyer, the front porch with the Lake Superior view or in the garden complete with a beautiful fountain and pergola. There's also the White Lace Inn in Sturgeon Bay, which has been a honeymoon destination since the early 1900s. Ooh la la.

Life on the Farm
Experience Wisconsin the way it was always meant to be and opt for a bed and breakfast on the farm. In Stoughton, there's an old-fashioned farmhouse (i.e. built in the 1870s) called Altemus Corners Bed and Breakfast complete with period antiques and handmade Victorian décor. Wake up and smell the fresh flowers throughout the house before enjoying a breakfast that includes eggs, meat, pancakes, fresh farm fruit, Danish kringle and more. Mmm delish.

On the other side of the state, you'll find the Lawson House, which is located just 15 minutes from downtown Milwaukee.
