Description
Circa 1857. The facade of this Romanesque Revival sandstone mansion boasts magnificent arched windows, Swedish railings, verandas and a belvedere. There are marble floors, ornate moldings and a magnificent mahogany and walnut staircase that winds up four stories. Lovingly restored and lavishly decorated, the inn easily rivals rooms at the Ritz for opulence. A special occasion warrants requesting the suite with the secret passageway behind a swinging bookcase.Publicity and Awards: Glamour, Country Inns, Chicago Sun-Times, Americana, Chicago Tribune, New York Times, Conde Nast Traveler, Voted Best of Madison--Most Romantic Accommodation, Madison Magazine, ANEW magazine, Wisconsin Trails.Location: City/Urban.
