When I first saw the listing with the excellent reviews and history of the house I felt this would be a fun place to stay. After spending the four nights my initial feeling was right on. This was the perfect place for our family to stay. Kathy greeted us when we arrived and helped us figure out where to have dinner that first night. We stayed in rooms 10 and 11. Those rooms have their own private bath and are on the second floor. It was as though we had a family apartment. The adults room had a king sized bed and the children shared a queen. Their room had a scavenger hunt within the stone walls, which they really enjoyed. After dinner the boys played table tennis and pop shots basketball. Kathy also treated them to an ice cream cone. Very sweet. There were also plenty of board games to play in the evenings. Breakfast was yummy and coffee aplenty! They do offer WiFi, but no screens, so it is easy to bond with your family and have some quality time together. This location was within walking distance to the swimming pool/park and Pendarvis (which is still closed). It is about a half an hour drive to House on the Rock, Cave of the Mounds, and Taliesin. Lots of fun side stops on the way to any of these places. Kathy is an awesome cook. We feel so fortunate to have met her, Dan, and Bobby Jo on our trip. Mineral Point is a beautiful town and I thank them for preserving and sharing such a wonderful Wisconsin landmark with us.

The cottage was once a summer kitchen, and sits a stone's throw from the main house. Both buildings are of the same stonework style that Mineral Point is famous for. The cottage sports two bedrooms, a family room, and a small bath. The plumbing is all modern, with great water temp and pressure, as well as central air conditioning. There is a microwave, a small fridge, and a coffee machine. Several interesting books and knick-knacks line the shelves, and the main bedroom has a cute little shelf of chocolates. Out back is a little garden and beyond that is the Cabin at Cothren. Both have exclusive parking with direct access to the road. The reservation process was great. We booked online, then the owner (who is very pleasant and sociable) contacted us to arrange payment. She processed our credit card through Paypal. A very easy transaction. Our only comment is that we would have liked to have had a little history of this particular property in a printed form, but I'm certain our hostess would have been more than happy to tell us if we had asked. (I later discovered that there is some historical info on their website.) It should be noted that the whole town rolls up their sidewalks pretty early, so plan ahead if you want to eat out locally. Also, note that although Yelp lists this as a bed and breakfast, it is not.

In the room.. the toilet was loose, Towels had orange stains on them.. like they had been used to wipe up something but not examined by staff after laundering, while folding. Tub was very slippery... and we had to put a towel on the bottom to keep from slipping while standing in the shower. In the first floor hallway... bits of pealing wallpaper here and there (thats an easy glue fix) . Manager/desk clerk in morning was wearing a wrinkled and dirty Quality Hotel tee shirt... that looked like it came from the floor where he tossed it the day before. The breakfast area had not been restocked with needed items. He blamed it on the overnight staff. No spoons on either service area, no napkins, no plastic ups to for the pancake batter... so a paper coffee cup was in use... over and over by multiple guests. OJ was out... and the sausage were COLD, obviously thawed out, but not heated before putting in the chaffing dish. Fruit bowl empty. He was behind the desk playing on his phone... and obviously had not reviewed the breakfast area that morning. This is the only "Chain" hotel in the immediate Mineral Point area... and down the road another obviously much older chain hotel had been converted into a "private brand" and looked almost scary. Perhaps better off in Dodgeville WI, five minutes away.

They were good at filling the toilet paper. We had a two room suite, which was huge but it lacked warmth. There was plenty of closet and drawer space.There was a sofa bed and normally you get a couple of extra pillows and a blanket. Nope. Room was clean and smelled fresh. Bathroom was very clean, especially the tub. The bathroom mirror rocked! Breakfast was not lousy tasting but basically meh. Donuts were mini chocolate hostess ones and only 3 or 4 in the container. Muffins were mini ones as well and again just a few. Sausage was nuked brown and serve that were super pale. Eggs were decent as were the bagels. English muffins were tiny and they had regular sliced bread. I was suspect of the cream cheese not kept on ice or at least cool. A few sad envelopes of oatmeal. I was reminded of early hotel breakfast days. Just felt sad.... I went to get a yogurt out of the fridge and there were only two in there. How about more? And why not some nice danish? An actual full sized donut? As for the fruit, just a couple of bananas and apples.. again, they seemed to do just enough to get by. We ate there twice and then skipped out to Country Kitchen for breakfast. Honestly, just okay. I appreciated the cleanliness but it felt closer to a Super 8 vs a Best Western.

This was just a quick "get-a-way" to chase another fine Wisconsin Supper Club listed in our Wisconsin Supper Club book by Ron Faiola. The quaint accommodations at Walnut Ridge caught us off guard - honestly we didn't expect something this charming, quietly tucked in the rolling hills north of the University of Wisconsin Platteville and only 90 minute drive from our home. We are not B & B people, however, Walnut Ridge is not your normal "communal" accommodations - "Back Again" is an 1100 square foot cabin, well appointed - privately and quietly welcoming it's visitors from nearby tourist locations like Galena,Dubuque, Platteville, Prairie du Chien, Madison, Spring Green, Mineral Point, Dodgeville. "Back Again" is a respite for the weary traveler and casual guests - radiant floor heat, fireplace, stocked kitchen, whirlpool tub - neatly finished in an expertly restored 1800's log cabin - set in an iconic, rural, Wisconsin wooded lot of 5.5 acres. Check in and check out was unobtrusive - we never saw our hosts. Drive in, kick off your shoes, mix an Old Fashioned, and run yourself a warm, relaxing soak. Ah, even a bathrobe waiting for you in the sun room. Enjoy - we did.

We stayed one night in the Cabin Life rental. Overall, the experience was enjoyable. Below are the…read morepros and cons of our experience. Pros 1. The cabin was beautiful and very clean, and the surrounding scenery is gorgeous. 3. The jetted soaking tub in the bedroom was wonderfully relaxing - a highlight of the stay. 4. Check in and check out were hassle free, and as other reviewers have mentioned, we never even saw our hosts during the visit. 5. Jill was responsive to our questions and was able to recommend a nearby area for a scenic walk. Cons 1. The website describes the cabins as private and secluded; however the owner's residence and cabins are all within 100 yards of each other, so the feeling of privacy was limited to the interior of our cabin. Cabin Life is also quite close to the road, so traffic noise could be heard even while inside. 2. The website advertises a "continental deluxe breakfast" delivered to the door of Cabin Life each morning by "the breakfast fairy". While the breakfast fairy did exist, and delivered on time, we did not feel that the contents of one small fruit tart, 2 banana muffins, and a scant palm-full of raspberries were up to par with our expectations from the website description. We chose to dine at the Country Kitchen in Platteville instead, which had good food and pleasant service. 3. Hair conditioner was not included with the bath products provided, which resulted in our evening being interrupted by an unplanned half hour round trip to the Platteville drug store.

I…read moream fairly easy to please when it comes to accommodation: if they have coffee/tea, clean rooms, and a hot shower, I'm pretty content. A decent breakfast is a big plus. This place met all of these criteria, and went beyond in several ways. To begin, the staff -- including the front desk, cleaners, and breakfast attendant -- were very friendly and willing to help. I asked about a good place to go running in the morning, and the receptionist printed out some maps of local trails. They keep coffee (regular and decaf) and tea in the lobby, along with bowls of fruit and granola bars. The breakfast was also better than a typical continental, including eggs, breakfast meat, and fruit (mashed raspberries and blueberries). Most of the other guest seemed to be workers of various types, so it was quiet at night. And of course the location was fine. Just about everywhere in petite Platteville is central. In all, if you can get a price you're happy with, it's a good place to stay.

Dear YELP Readers,…read more This is what I wrote to Ramona of Le Fevre Inn and Resort in Galena IL after the 4 Sista Girls Spent a wonderful Weekend retreat there !!!! The Sista Girl Club Can't Wait to Go BACK to LeFevre Inn & Resort and Galena given it's awesome scenic, quaint, friendly, and culturally diverse surroundings. It started about 6 months out when the owner Ramona responded to my many inquiries quickly and with great suggestions and discounts. We actually spent Friday, October 6 through Sunday, October 8th, 2017 there which was in the middle of the County Fair which was an unexpected added bonus. The ~ 3 hour drive was priceless as we drove up to paradise. The photos don't give it justice; the Gazebo, Pavilion, outdoor fire pit, indoor fire place, and our all equipped cozy inn with the cute balcony and "BAR" : that's another story for another time ;) and private parking was more than accommodating. Even the cloudy, misty, partly sunny, 60 to 70 degree weather didn't deter the four of us from having a great time. The quick easy 2 x a day drive into Galena downtown was full of wonderful surprises starting with Denise and our highly recommended Tri-State Trolley one hour tour back into Historical time and our driver/tour guide Johnny was full of character, fun facts, and great stories. Shopping at Poopsies for sum thin sum thin you never thought you would want; you'll get IT when you get there;was hilarious and the sales people jumped in to make us feel HAPPY and the discounts were priceless. Brunch at tasty Las Aztecas and Dinner at the Famous Fried Green Tomatoes was fabulous with quick friendly, service, cozy welcoming ambience, plenty of food, and huge variety of drinks. Twice we just had to stop and return to Galena's River Wine and Cheese where owners Bryon and Julie and the gang treated us special; great free tasting of wine, cheese, olive oils, dips...specially made. We did leave a lil sum thin sum thin behind for y'all to purchase. We will be back and I'm preparing my Sista Girl Scrapbook to share our experience with our family and friends. Love and Hugs, Sistas Belinda/Heart, Sheila/Free, Darlene/Sunshine, and me, Linda "Too Tall"/Happy I would love to try and take advantage of your very generous offer...I will pass this along to the other Sista Girls to see if they can afford it. I may need to pass since I have to pay for a destination wedding in 6 months...for a friend :) Love and Many Hugs, Sista Linda Too Tall Happy PS: Have also shared the Good/G-D news on Trip Advisor too.

We booked the massage and dinner package as well as renewed our vows in front of the mansion. I cannot say enough about the amazing experience we had during our time here. Paul was an amazing host! He puts in a lot of details into making the experience one to remember. We have never stayed at a bed-and-breakfast so we were completely surprised by how wonderful and elegant the mansion was. On Thursday when we arrived, we had our scheduled massage, followed by our ceremony, and a private dinner in the dining room. Paul even took some pictures of us and gifted us with a beautiful framed picture of me and my husband. On Friday morning, we met some wonderful guest during our breakfast, and headed out to downtown Galena. Our breakfast was an excellent and tasty homemade breakfast, so much so, that we were so excited about breakfast the next day. Although Paul is basically the face of a mansion, his wife and employee work just as hard to make it an overall beautiful experience. We will definitely be back! We know that we have other options, but we cannot say enough about this place and want to continue to support Paul like he supports and tends to his customers. Paul and family, thank you so very much for making our 10th anniversary as memorable as you did.
