Like so many, my wife and I were ready for a respite from our COVID-19 exile. Two nights at the…read moreelegant Hamilton House was just what the doctor ordered! Built in the 1860s and a stop on the Underground Railroad, the spacious, high-ceilinged HH exudes history and charm. Innkeeper and owner Gloria Buley greeted us warmly; I like to think I could see her smile through the surgical mask she was wearing. Our well-appointed room had a comfy king bed and a recently remodeled en suite. The wardrobe contained two plush bathrobes; a small table held bottles of Perrier, chocolates, fresh flowers, and two surgical masks. Like our room, the inn's common areas are immaculate and tastefully furnished with period antiques and Oriental rugs. Our two breakfasts were highlights! Gloria's a CIA culinary school grad and it shows. Fresh-squeezed OJ, omelettes, French toast, baked apples, sausages, Canadian bacon--whew, I don't eat nearly this well at home. Breakfast was also a chance to get to know Gloria. A recent transplant from Woodstock, NY, she purchased the Hamilton House weeks before the coronavirus shut down the world. I'd be down in the dumps, but Gloria seems indefatigable and is using the time to, among other things, install a garden walk that will pay homage to the nearby Birge Fountain, circa 1903. We're already looking forward to our next visit! A tip: One of Wisconsin's best supper clubs, the Duck Inn in Delavan, is a 15-minute drive from the HH.

This gorgeous 1861 mansion is exquisite, perfect down to the last detail. The multi-course breakfasts, created by innkeeper (and Culinary Institute-trained chef) Gloria, were off-the-charts delicious and kept my belly full til dinnertime, even after a day spent hiking the gorgeous Kettle Moraine. I slept deeply on the luxurious comfy bed, but I'd eat saltine crackers and sleep on a cot to hear Gloria's stories! Gloria has a talent for being present but never intrusive. She'll give you a house tour with fascinating tidbits (from John Belushi to the Underground Railroad!) but ask about her journey from Woodstock NY to Whitewater WI for a rollicking story with a happy ending!

This place is a little out of the way, but worth the drive. The food is quite good, better than you typically get with a place that is primarily a bar. Had a very authentic Chicago Dog with fries; the wife had a salad that had a variety of nice fresh greens and grilled chicken. Very affordable prices too-- dinner and drinks for two came to $31. The locals know this as a fun event space; there was a kids party going on downstairs when we arrived, complete with a bouncy house that was brought in. We will be back on our next visit to the area.

Their building is a stunning display of history, but it also goes on forever. You could have two different events going on at the same time, as they have room dividers, separate bars, and even entry doors if needed. Such great staff and a beautiful space. I'm excited to have another option for gatherings and workshops

I wanted a "one stop shop" because this wedding/party planning thing is way out of my wheelhouse, but I was a little worried that a place that does it all might not do all things well. I needn't have worried. My outdoor wedding was beautifully decorated, from the ceremony site to the reception tables. My bridal floral was gorgeous! The food was truly amazing - I am still getting comments about how good it was! On top of it all, the staff was great! Kimberly and Kelly helped me figure our exactly what I wanted, and they put it all together beautifully. Sheila, from the catering staff, did a wonderful job coordinating everything on our wedding day. Thank you, Best Events! You helped to make our day just perfect!

Vintage Airstream with an awesome view and amenities. Just me and the wife. We hit a couple of local restaurants and had a couple great meals. Barley's Hops & Malt and East Troy House Restaurant. We drove to Milwaukee and visited some old friends on Thursday. It is only 40 miles away. And the hosts stopped by and spent some campfire time with us. Awesome! On Friday our children joined us and we moved to the 'Hilton'. We treated them because they grew up camping with us and we thought this was a great way to get together, reminisce and be together without all of the setup and hassle of camping. We sat around the campfire, had some great meals. We had Dutch oven pizza in the fire pit on Friday night. Steak and lobster, COC, twice baked potatoes, and stuffed chicken breast (some not care for steak and lobster) all on the propane grill on site. Almost forgot the Dutch oven breakfasts, Biscuits, Gravy and Egg Casserole (https://iamhomesteader.com/biscuits-and-gravy-casserole/) and Overnight Dutch Oven French Toast Casserole (https://homemadeheather.com/overnight-dutch-oven-french-toast-casserole/) Extra large fire pit and propane grill made it easy to cook some big family meals. There is not anything that we needed that was not provided (bring your own food of course). Truly recommend Camp Kettlewood. Planning another trip in September.

Since we had a significant amount of kids joining us, we chose to have a little play kitchen and some games for them to play with. I think this is amazing touch as most venue spaces don't offer additional activities for kids. We also had a s'mores bar set up which really gave the party a cute unique feel. Both the adults and kids had fun making tasty s'mores on a chilly day. Holly was our host, and she was very helpful through out the duration of the party. There was plenty of space for our group, and we heard many compliments. Our party was held on one of the coldest days of the year. The interior was so warm in spite of the large doors being glass. I can imagine how beautiful the events would be on a summer day with the doors open, too. This space is uniquely designed to accommodate events throughout the year.
