Where a romantic weekend in the country is an affordable treat!
Best place to be in Wisconsin if you're snowed in this winter!

Whether you come from near or far, Brambleberry Bed and Breakfast is a whole other world away. Only at Brambleberry can you imagine yourself at a charming and whimsical English/Scottish country manor farm house complete with the pastoral view of grazing sheep. Our romantic, rural English country home provides couples with a blissfully comfortable, restorative and intimate sanctuary retreat. Perfect for a wedding night, that special anniversary or a short vacation.

Get away for a romantic weekend in the country. Relax and reconnect at a leisurely pace. Spend precious time alone together in the superb comfort of our beautiful guest rooms with elegant canopy beds, some with fireplace and whirlpool. Stroll the private country lanes and tranquil wooded trails of our farm, pausing at a creekside bench, listening to the babbling brook. Saturdays, savor an evening glass of wine in our book-lined lounge. Gaze at the heavens and the countless stars on a cloudless night. In the morning indulge in our scrumptious multi-course candlelight breakfast.

Memories are made here! Don't just take our word for it, read what our guests have to say!

A top Wisconsin farm bed and breakfast, at Brambleberry we pledge to serve guests one or more items every day from a selection of our own organic and natural homegrown fruits, vegetables, eggs and pork products. We also raise crossbred Suffolk and purebred Scottish Blackface sheep. We grow most of our own food and live as self-sustainable a lifestyle as possible. We firmly believe the relationship between the land and our food is integral to our health and well-being. We enjoy sharing and discussing this philosophy with our guests, who are welcome to tour our gardens and visit our animals.

The first new lambs of 2010 have arrived!

Here are photos of the first lambs of 2010, taken when they were only a few hours old. A ram and ewe were born to Mary on Feb. 1. We're expecting additional lambs through the end of March.

"Ode to an inn whose hosts feel like kin and are willing to share all the comforts of home yet with all the details in a lap of luxury. The stay was superb as was the ambiance, food, wine and walking trails. A big recommendation will go out to our friends and family. Keep living the dream!"
