Bed and Breakfast in Appleton, Wisconsin


Imagine the wonderful aroma of home-cooked food drifting up to your bedroom

Imagine thinking while you eat, "I didn't know that food could taste so great?"


Life at our inn is oh so comforting because you can:

Sit a spell, linger at our dining room table with warm conversation.

Discover life at its best & enjoy my breakfast cooking from scratch.

Let time stand still & reflect on the elegance of the 19th century in our formal dining room.


Can I share two secrets with you on your next visit?

Ask me for my secret spice?

Ask me why my food is so heavenly?


Every season there is a
   reason to stay with us.


The inn has a very small kitchen,

but the size of the room makes no difference on the quality of the food for our guests.


What does make the difference, is my huge passion to

... share the best in what a seasonal breakfast could be.

You truly have culinary talents for your delicious breakfasts! You were a fine cook. I was really enjoying the Rhubarb Tapioca Fruit Medley in your first course. Then, the Egg Surprise Entr�e with your Turtle Toast Royale got even better. I almost couldn�t make room for your Lemon Mousse. All I can say is, �I loved it!� You also do a beautiful food plate presentation! I will try to do your recipes justice because buying your inn cookbook gives me a chance to take you home with me.

We loved our room & the whole house, and the breakfasts were delicious! You should open a restaurant, Judy!

I�ll take 10 lbs. of that Cinnamon Honey Butter home with me and, oh, could you rustle up 20 pieces of that wonderful Apple Pecan Pancake, too? I want all of my family and friends back in Madison to try your breakfast! I�ll take that all with me!
