More Than a Nice Room...

Just down the lane is the senic, rushing Winnebago River, with limestone outcroppings and bluffs beckoning you for walks, sunning, fishing, or relaxing reflection. You can also enjoy a canoeing or tubing trip.

Take refreshing winter hikes or cross country ski on the frozen river, pausing for close-up looks at caves cut into the limestone bluffs.

Stable your horse in our lot or barn and take rides in the countryside. Consider a tractor-drawn group hayride around the area.

Simply relax on the very spacious three-sided porch and enjoy a quiet, country evening. On those cool evenings, warm yourself by the fire ring outside in the garden.

After dark, take a stroll to view the Cupola Inn's lighted cupola and the mini-cupolas lighting the drive.
