Staying at the Hillside B&B is a heart warming experience that will leave you feeling like you are part of the family.

Walking into the brewery was awesome, such a cool place and quite large. The girl at the spot were I believe you can order food wasn't too friendly but the bartender was awesome! Bartender was super friendly, I wish I could remember his name. We told him how we were looking for things to do and he was more than happy to write down some recommendations for us. I thought that was super nice because I feel like sometimes, at least in the Dells area, it seems like they get tired of us tourists and aren't always as friendly as I feel they should be considering they know they're working in a tourist area. We happened to be sitting next to the lady that does the tours so we thought, awesome, we love seeing old buildings and hearing the history so we signed up! It's $20 per person and about 50-60 mins. It was super cool to see, informative, the lady was friendly, and answered any questions we had. It was pretty amazing to hear that people actually live on the 4th floor, I wasn't expecting that for some reason. After the tour was over she played the large organ for us which was great. We sat down for another beer, listened to the awesome music the bartender was playing and set up our next tour at the Driftless Glen distillery. This was on our list plus it was one of the recommendations from the bartender. If your in the area and looking for something different to do, I highly recommend checking this place out!

For visiting Kickapoo Valley Reserve or Wildcat Mountain, as we were, this is in the perfect spot.

Cowboy Joe is one of the owners and you can tell how much time, love and care goes into maintaining the property. The cabin's are warm, cozy, clean and stocked with everything you could need. They even present you with homemade chocolate chip cookies upon arrival that were incredible! I do recommend bringing all of your food necessary for your stay because the cabin's are extremely secluded. Any businesses are about 20-30 min away and even then, what IS there is extremely limited. My husband and I were prepared for this, so it didn't detract from our stay whatsoever-I say that as an fyi for future guests. The porch with rocking chairs was our heaven so we could read and listen to the sounds of nature. We highly recommend staying here! You won't regret it!

Then, in front are the BBQ grills and several different-styled patio tables, as well as, 2 colorful nostalgic metal chairs directly outside each room. Lovely landscaping & flowers everywhere. Don't miss the bubbling brook just alongside the South side of the lounge and a peaceful spot to read. We visited Devils Lake Park, a diner in Baraboo, and an escape room in the Dells area.

We stayed for a long weekend, and and it was the perfect location to get away. The rooms are all themed so when you call to reserve you can pick from the rooms they have available. We stayed in Unit 2, the Devil's Lake room which had photos of Devil's lake. The room included a mini refrigerator, coffee and tea, and alarm clock if needed. Right outside your door they have chairs and tables for enjoying the beautiful weather. They also have grills and an area for bonfires. I was only able to go to the communal area/lobby for the first morning as it was soon closed as they were started to do contactless check in/out. But it seems as though in less COVID-y times they have some coffee or tea there, light breakfast items like mini muffins or breakfast bars and fruit. They also had a communal puzzle and board games. Overall the place is super cozy, perfectly situated for a relaxing vacation with a number of restaurants and small shops to visit in Baraboo.

Dave and Trudy are such warm and helpful hosts, making you feel so cared for and pampered. The Inn is so beautiful and immaculately clean with a view you never get tired of. We stayed in the Birds Nest room which was just perfect for us. Amazing view, comfortable bed, tub with spa jets, separate toilet room and two sinks - just perfect! Trudy is an amazing chef and Dave is the friendliest server at breakfast, serving up fresh baked goods, yogurt/granola, juice/coffee/artesian water, fresh fruit of many varieties, and the most delicious and lovely presentation for main courses. We were so impressed with every breakfast. At 5:30 pm every evening, Dave hosts "happy hour" in the Indigo Lounge, where you can sit at the bar, take in the view and enjoy some fine wine and a really delicious charcuterie plate put together by Trudy. Dave is great to talk to and has so many recommendations for the area. We took most of his recommendations for what to eat and drink at restaurants and were not disappointed! The grounds are beautifully manicured with so many trails and an outdoor spa (which we enjoyed a couple times while again taking in the view) and there is a sauna and exercise area inside too. We would love to come back and enjoy Dave and Trudy's amazing hospitality.

I did not expect the owners to treat me and my wife like honored guests in their own home, but that's how it is. Very interesting husband and wife team who are very skilled at making a rich experience and tailoring the visit to your interests. The coolest part of the stay for me were the happy hours that Dave hosted. We had a lot of fun swapping stories with Dave and other guests who were also up for some good drinks. Breakfast was also pretty awesome. The manor is a beautiful campus that exceeds the verbal description and pictures. Lots of richness in the back story can be gleaned from conversation with Dave. To be honest, we werent looking for a bed and breakfast or a resort like retreat since we came to do some hiking, do some leaf peeping, and do some tourist stuff with a friend. By the time check out came around, we wished we budgeted more time relaxing at the manor. Definitely plan to book here again next time we do a Wisconsin vacation.

Anita's warmth, energy, and love that she gives to all of her guests is so amazing. On Sundays she serves her guests (and if you call ahead to reserve a spot you can enjoy this too!) an absolutely amazing breakfast...all homemade with love. Our daughters got to ring an enormous bell on the lawn at 9:00 announcing breakfast and wow...what can I say about this breakfast! We thoroughly enjoyed Anita's freshly made crepes complete with powdered sugar and her lovingly delicious jams along with fresh whipped cream. The inn and food are just like out of another world. She played the piano, we sang, it was just warm and totally out there and awesome. The guest cabins and rooms are all lovely, simple, and CLEAN. The beds had super soft sheets, comfy blankets, and I loved the fact that our kids had their own room that was still attached to ours. Keep an open mind--this isn't a chain establishment. This inn is a gem of a place and one never knows how much longer we'll be able to enjoy the unique nook of hospitality that Thunder Valley Inn has to offer. Support this local establishment just like Anita supports the local farmers and community. Best breakfast food I've ever had--quite simply I really hope we can be back to experience this again...!

So close yet so far from Wisconsin Dells…read more.. About three minutes from the downtown section of Wisconsin Dells is a wonderful little Norwegian-themed bed and breakfast. It's small; there are only 11 rooms in the entire B&B (seven in a master hut, three in a smaller ranch house and one cozy wee hus [house]). Beyond rooms, there is a kitchen that customarily has coffee and a homemade afternoon snack each day. There is a wall of VCR tapes and shelves of board games to bring up to your room. The style within each room has its own theme, but is an excellent hybrid of semi-modern convenience and the folksy charm of the past. The price range is perfect for the modest budget -- $69-$139. Each room includes a small TV/VCR combo, microwave and fridge, books/mags (range from vacation guides to recent novels to stories that reflect their Scandinavian heritage). Rooms are painted with art and style that celebrates the old country. The service is family managed and exceptionally friendly. During the week, Anita (owner) visits with the guests and serves up some wonderful breakfast, hokey expressions and piano-based games. You may see her daughters (both married, sorry guys), serve tables or give you the introductory tour (they have day jobs). Thunder Valley Inn's farm is devoted to rehabbed goats, peacocks, sheep, geese, rabbit and cats/kittens; this in itself, makes it an experience for the lil' ones. If your child is out there early enough he/she may be able to help out feeding the rabbit or milking the goat. Other family-related amenities include evening pit fires, lawn games and other little items that add to the joy of your stay. However, there is one indispensable feature and that is the farm-raised / homemade breakfast. My wife and child are fussy eaters, but finish breakfast satisfied every time. During the week, Thunder Valley serves up eggs, potatoes, sausage, ham, bread, pancakes, yogurt, granola, coffee, juices, milk and a special treat. Anita will make sure everyone is barely able to walk before she leaves you alone [no, she is not feeding you for the kill, that's too obvious of a 'joke']. Saturdays and Sundays have breakfasts open to the public. I would opt for their Sunday buffet; it includes the same items listed plus goat cheese, flatbread, fruit, bacon and herring. Eat up and enjoy. Eight years ago, I came to eat breakfast once while staying at a brand new cookie cutter hotel in Wisconsin Dells. After eating the breakfast and touring the grounds, I realized that I would never look for another place to stay. Years and numerous stays since have validated that stance. If you are taking a trip with your family or your other, this is the perfect friendly place to relax after combat with other Dells tourists.

Things we especially liked about the house were the delicious bed linens, the wide range of books in the house (many from local authors!), and the overall cozy cabin feeling. Cozy, in this case, is not code for "cramped" -- in fact, it was spacious with lots of light streaming in through the ground floor windows. Coleman was a wonderful host and his years of experience in the hospitality industry are evident in his attention to detail throughout the property. Onhand was a good stash of guides to nearby attractions with emphasis on birding and cycling, regional-focused magazines, and even some homemade jam.
