For your own retreat in the Wisconsin woods, look no further than Walker House!…read more I was in the area recently for a wedding and needed a place to stay. The generic chain hotels didn't appeal to me, so I looked to Airbnb for something better. Enter Walker House. From the beginning, my communication with the owner Mike was prompt, courteous, and professional. When I arrived, he was there to greet me, and my private room was cozy, clean, and included some refreshments -- a welcome creature comfort after the 10 hour drive! I shared a bathroom, but it was clean, spacious, and had more than enough clean white towels for myself and the other guests utilizing it. Not to be outdone, Sue made a delicious breakfast in the morning. I enjoyed fresh fruit salad, eggs Benedict, and homemade blueberry muffins. I was super stuffed by the end, but didn't mind a bit! The cherry on top was when I had to leave early to drive home (to the tune of 5 AM). Mike woke up and made me a to-go cup of coffee for the road. I told all the wedding guests about my awesome accommodations and got more than a few envious comments :-) If you're in the area and need a place to stay, look no further than Walker House!

Prepare to wake when the sun comes up as the window shades do not begin to block the rising sun, at least in the bedrooms in the inn. The breakfast was delicious, though heavy on carbs. I hope they consider offering some sort of egg with all breakfasts. Pancakes and French toast are good for breakfast but a side of a protein (other than sausage) should be part of all breakfasts. They have water out all day but it is always room temperature, not very refreshing on a hot day.

To give you an idea of how wonderful our stay was, I have not written a Yelp review in almost two…read moreyears, but felt so compelled to share and spread the word about this place that I came back just to write about how amazing our stay was. My two friends and I wanted to take a little mini getaway to get some snowboarding at Granite Peak (4 hours from Chicago) and spent quite a bit of time looking at hotels around the area. I stumbled upon this bed and breakfast, and can confidently say it is one of the best hidden gems that I'm glad I found. First off, it is only 15 minutes to Granite Peak and the price is comparable a lot of the hotels in the area. We stayed in the River Suite, which was the whole upstairs and had a bedroom with a balcony and an adjoining sitting room that had a queen Murphy bed and it's own mini fridge. I'm pretty sure there's a fireplace in each room. The whole space is amazing as it sits along the river and the large windows, both in the suite and the living area, offer great views. With a little snowfall it really had that cozy winter feel. The place is only a few years old so everything was very modern. The downstairs common area had a full kitchen, a pool table, large tv (with Roku), and comfy couches/blankets to hang. There's a sauna that we took advantage of after a long day boarding. Both nights we were there we made dinner and hung out in the common area watching football, playing pool, kicked back some drinks, and cuddled with their dog. Full disclosure, we were the only rentals for those two nights and the two other rooms (Willow and Birch) are also downstairs, so I'm sure it would've been a different experience and we would not have been as comfortable or been able to hangout as freely down there if other occupants were also there. The best part of our two night stay had to be the hospitality of Dan and Margaret. Easy to communicate, accommodating, and super friendly. Margaret is quite the baker, we could not stop eating her ginger snap cookies. The first night we were there Dan brought down some of his fig infused vodka for us to enjoy. They didn't have to (as their website says three course breakfast on weekends and complementary continental breakfast during the week days), but they offered and made us breakfast both mornings. Happy they sat down and ate with us that second day. If you haven't gotten the point, this is the perfect little getaway and a must stay if you're going to make it out in the area. I hope to come back again soon.

The Lindsay House Bed & Breakfast is a must-stay for anyone traveling through the area. I worked in…read moreManawa for 3 months and can honestly say that staying with Judy was hands-down better than any hotel/airbnb/b&b/etc I've I've ever stayed at. The rooms and bathrooms are large, VERY clean, and there is a fridge/microwave/coffee bar upstairs which guests can use at any time. The hostess, Judy, is a culinary marvel. Not only did Judy make AMAZING breakfasts every morning, but she remembered what I liked and disliked and made new dishes each morning based on my personal preferences. Besides the incredible food (which is reason enough to stay here, believe me - there were frequently homemade sweets available in the dining area perfect for an after-dinner snack), Judy is the most accommodating hostess you will ever encounter. She let me leave my bike at her house when I would travel home on the weekends, she would make to-go breakfast bundles when I had to go in for work early, AND she would even get up early to heat up the breakfast before I left (which would sometimes be as early as 3am). An added bonus is her adorable cat, Bob. Needless to say, The Lindsay House is more than a quaint stop on one's journey. It's a destination in and of itself.

Judy's breakfasts are the best food in the area. We love having pets around in the morning and evening, but I'm sensitive to cat dander.

The beds were comfortable. Every morning you are given a choice of a home- cooked breakfast too. The garden out back is so pretty, and the whole feeling there is very peaceful and old- fashioned. It's close to town but not in the middle of it, which is perfect! There's a park within walking distance. I really don't like stuffy hotel rooms so this was just the right place to stay. This is a comfortable home. And, if you want a pool, there is a public one within a 5 min drive. I wish I had taken more pictures to post because it really is so lovely!! I have stayed twice when visiting family and I would stay again for sure- I have nothing but gratitude and high recommendation!!!

I stayed in most of the rooms during my time there and all the beds are comfortable. There are iPhone chargers in all the rooms, and there was complimentary WiFi, which allowed for both the ability to work after hours and to surf the Internet when relaxing. There was also plenty of privacy, but at the same time Kerri and Mike, the innkeepers, made me feel at home. Early each morning there was coffee and Kerri always made sure I had a travel mug to take into work. Additionally, Kerri was nice enough to offer me dinner several times during the long bleak winter. I stayed at one of the newer hotels in Waupaca during my first trip, and while I had no big complaints, it was just average across the board, while the Apple Tree Bed & Breakfast had those extra touches of home all in a ultra comfortable peaceful and private space. Thanks Kerri and Mike for making the winter bearable!
