I loved old fashioned charm with updated amenities at The Audubon Inn. We had a beautiful corner room on the third floor with a deep soaking hot tub that was soothing after a long day of hiking the marsh. The towels were over-sized and plump and the bathroom was supplied with all the little extras along with a hair dryer. The rooms were extra large for an Inn built in 1896. And the James Audubon artwork in the lobby and the all around the square open staircase leading up to the third floor was exquisite, not only remembering, but also honoring the buildings time period and its location, just a stones throw from Horicon Marsh. I also noticed all the little extra effort the hosts had made to make our stay just as pleasant as could be. The large landings had beautifully decorated seating areas where you could gather with other members of your group for a casual game or a drink, each level with its own gathering space something modern hotel lack. You will also find games casually strewn about for your use. And there were large and over-sized coffee table books about birds for your reading pleasure. And I appreciated the fresh scent of an air-freshner to greet us when we entered our room, made me think they wanted me to feel as much at home as when I have guests over night at our house. All of the public rooms, the lobby, dinning room, restaurant and bar are warm and inviting. The bar and the dinning room have full walls of stained glass or etched windows with birds and incorporation information for each village or city from all of the surrounding communities. I was really impressed with each and every room. Our stay was over a Friday evening and as a time honored Wisconsin tradition we had the hotel restaurants Friday Night Catfish Fry complete with the most flavorful creole sauce I've ever had! (I think they should bottle and sell this New Orleans flavored treat, it would make a wonderful gift.) I really enjoyed my stay and my dinner and was sad I had to leave extra early the next morning. I also know I can't wait to return in July!
