Charming old house with high-ceilinged rooms beautifully decorated in the Victorian style. Our room was bright and pretty and overlooked the back yard. Bathroom was large with modern fixtures. Delicious gourmet breakfast at a big table with other guests. It was our privilege to stay in this house, which once belonged to Charles Ringling of Ringling Brothers fame.

We absolutely loved this unique property. We felt like we were sent back in time. The furnishings and home were beautiful. We walked to town for music and drinks. It was a great stop between Devil's Lake and Wisconsin Dells. The owners were helpful and friendly. The breakfast was delicious. We would totally recommend a stay here.

One of the Ringling Bros owned this house so it was historical. I wanted to see the elephants at Circus World before they "retire" at the end of the season. Shopping around the square was fun. We live in a rural area where grocery shopping is about the limit. It was a great get-away.

Quaint antique home. our room was small and painted dark gray. The lovely bed creaked. The portable air conditioner cooled well but was loud. The modern bath was ideal. the breakfast was formal and did not serve eggs. an interesting experience from the past.
