Wifey ordered the NEW wrap with chicken, vegetables, cashews and cranberries and blue cheese crumbles, and most importantly, poppy seed dressing. Chips and a nice pickle accompanied the wrap. Total clean plate club. I had the Philadelphia cheese steak. Generous portion of thinly sliced prime rib with onions, peppers, mushrooms and a slice of melted mozzarella cheese. Dipping gravy was excellent. I traded up to sweet potato fries - they were superb and came with a spicy ranch dressing for dipping. We had wonderful service in a quiet and comforting setting. Highly recommend without any reservations. The best meal we have ever had at the Riverside.

Antiquated is a very nice word for the bath house! The cement floor of the shower is disgusting. Flowered cloth shower curtains and a plastic lawn chair separate the two showers. Most charming of all... the machine on the wall to add 25c to use the shower. Reminds me of the 70s and the vibrating motel beds! Gorgeous property but not conducive to a relaxing camping experience.

We were able to crank up the tunes and not have to worry about bothering anyone. Prices were OK, I think it was $15 per tent per night. They have a building with bathrooms and showers (7 minutes for a quarter in the shower!), which is nice for the ladies who don't want to "rough it" all that much. Ask for a campsite on the hill, you get a nice view, and there's only 3 sites on the hill. We had all three to ourselves, so basically our own little hill, it was cool! I'm sure there are plenty of closer campgrounds around, but it was kinda nice to drive 3 hours into the middle of nowhere in WI to get there.

The Ho-Chunk Nation is bringing back bison to the lower Wisconsin riverway. The farm is located on…read morethe river, just outside of Muscoda, and they practice organic agriculture, and are also restoring native grass and the prairie. The bison meat is being used for the tribe's elderly in an effort to reduce diabetes (the meat is lower in fat and richer in iron than beef). Eventually, they would like to be able to sell the meat. Another benefit of the bison ranch is protection of the effigy mounds that are on this riverfront property, as well as the native wildlife. Local tours are given--call ahead to arrange one. I highly recommend a tour--this is a beautiful area in Wisconsin. I am biased though as this is where I grew up!

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.

I cannot say enough about the attention and advice received by Fawn at Driftless Travel for our…read morerecent trip. My wife and I had to take a business / pleasure trip to Kenya and contacted Fawn to help us with our details. To be clear - I use Expedia and other travel applications and consider myself experienced in finding good deals. Well, Fawn matched or beat everything I found on line (after hours of work), and even set up our Safari in perfect detail. I am all about communication. When I send an email or place a call - I expect a reply as soon as possible... Fawn was always there to answer our questions (no matter how small) and when she did not have the answer at hand - she got back to us with our answers that day. I highly recommend Driftless Travel to anyone that wants a good deal with someone who genuinely cares about their clients. We will use her again for our next trip!

The website for this campground implies a few things that aren't really true. The lake is about a…read moremile down the road. The canoes and kayaks that they have are on a trailer sitting in the back corner of the site with no one offering to bring them down. I'm guessing they were assuming that you would just throw them in the back of your pickup truck? The campground is really just a narrow strip of land. If you step off your campsite you are standing in a small road. If you step off your campsite in the other direction you are standing in a big road. I never met anyone representing the campground during the entirety of our stay. The town is within walking distance but the general store was closed the whole time as were all the other businesses. There were life jackets hanging in an open shed with a soda machine and a vending machine that probably hadn't been filled in a year. There is firewood and its quiet. Not for kids. Only if you have your own boat or have some other compelling reason to be in that town.

DO NOT BOOK THIS MOTEL. We had a dreadful experience with the owner who we had to call because she…read morenever sent a confirmation email after we tried to book and paid her outrageous fee. Spent a half an hour on the phone with her and she was incomprehensible, couldn't figure out her website (by her admission!)and then insisted we send her a photo of a government issued ID with all identifying info AND a picture of us over our cellphone before she would give us a reservation. (Racism?)We got off the phone and sent an email to cancel our request and refund the fee. She sent back an email that the fee was not refundable! We replied that we expected her to refund it since we never received a confirmation and had no reservation. A credit appeared on our credit card the next day but then was removed and the charge remained. We have filed a dispute with our credit card company and will also be contacting the STate of WIsconsin. DO NOT do business with this woman.

She is a scammer, and seems like she upcharges her guests for breaking her house rules, even if you've done nothing wrong. She is out to take her customers for an expensive ride, by upcharging them.
